maginific against brazil-Owen

Falcao,
Brazil cannot play as 82 no more. We will never play like that again, cause you don't know how it hurts to see a team playu like that and lose. I was only 6 years old and I saw a whole country devasted, even I was devasted.
We got to have a tight defense and a tougy midfield, and let the other players do the art work. You cannot excpetct to have everyone attacking these days otherwise you'll lose.
look at the goal we conceded agaisnt Ecuador, the whole team went forward and Aguinaga a 30 year older ran half the pitch to lob Dida. That is why we cannot play like that.

The main problem of the team is thelack of attitude.....and this is Luxemburgo's fault. He started with this by taking Edilson out of the squad for juggling the ball in the pitch. THAT IS unexeptable , . I still don't understand why he done that. cause after all what Edilson did is Brazilian football!

THE WORLD IS OURS...NOW WE WILL CONQUER THE AMERICAS LIKE COLUMBUS!

ze da fiel, i agree that we might never again see a team like 1982. and that is very, very sad for the whole world!

but there is no excuse for playing the way brazil plays now. in a few years, brazil will be playing like germany or italy -- boring, boring, boring.

look at the england-brazil game, there were only about 3 or 4 moments of beautiful brazilian football: when rivaldo made a nice backheel near the penalty area, when franca dribbled in a circle, another time when franca flicked the ball behind himself and then turned around for it. but the rest of the time, brazil looked like any other team in the world.

on the national team now, roberto carlos is the only player who always plays with the passion of a brazilian. he is always making nice dribbles or backheels or nice passes. and he has energy and loves to play. the rest of these players are looking at their watches to know when they can leave the field and get a pay check.

oh, ze da fiel, i feel sorry for all the guys who are a little bit younger that us and did not get to see 1982 brazil. it is the first world cup i remember, and i will never forget it!

Falcao,
its what tostao said: "Luxemburgo is going thorough a bad phase".
He has been in this bad phase ever since he took over the team , although while he was the Corinthians manager , Corinthians were BRILLIANT..and we stil our, thorough his successor Osvaldo

Now, people are saying that he did the worng thing in not calling Ronaldinho Gaucho. I think he done the correct thing.....as Edmundo should be ahead of Ronaldinho in any selection list. The problem is insisting in ELber and Amoroso, but he had to do that because how would he look at Elber and Amoroso at the England camp....and selecting them to play the friendlies when they would not even be called up for the Peru game?
That is why he put them both in the bench, and when the Uruguay game comes up, and Romario is back from injury, and he will have ALL the brazilian based players available he should make a better selection.
As their is 4 places in the attack (it is a 18 men squad) the places should go to Romario, Edmundo, Franca and Edilson.....Ronaldinho Gaucho might get a place over Edilson, hut that would be to content the press.
NOw in the midfield, Juninho (vasco), and Ricardinho should be available. If he does not call Ricardinho for the Uruguay game, then i know that Luxemburgo is blind and is thick. People are calling Ricardinho the "snooker man" of al the balls he gives his teammates. just putting them in front of goal. The problem is that Rivaldo is the best player on the world.....then RIcardinho has no place.....but Ricardinho is much more of a team player than RIvaldo
FAlcao, get the tapes of Coritnhians in the brazil shop and see what i'm talking about Or sign GLobo INternacional (i don't know if its worth to get a dish in NYC, cause of all the buiildings and the weather) but you'll see what i'm talking about.

Also, see the football of Felipe...the guy is playing really well, his problem is his "jiu-jitsu" attitude Otherwise he has the potential to be the best player of the world, passing Rivaldo or whoever people say
When he goes to Italy and he gets more mature..you guys will know what i'm talking about!


FAlcao, I was only 6 years old in the 82 WC, and I did cry. I don't think nobody believed that the **** called Paolo Rossi done that to us
But we will play nice football. Remember the "Tazz and argy lovers thread", I told you that LUxemburgo was only going to get a pattern after a couple of games.....this is the time to get the team ready, and getting to know which players can cope or not with the pressure...to then get to the World Cup with a built team, strong , competitive with personality...playing stylish attacking football, and defending well........to then beat any team of the face of the earth
We got the talent, the experiece, and the knowledge to do that...we've done it several times, why won't we do it again with this brilliant generation that we have?
TODO MUNDO TENTA, MAIS SO O BRASIL PODE SER PENTA!!

(the whole world tries, but only brazil can be five)

tonyp3, in 82, brazil was pure class. the only team i have ever seen that could play with 1970 brazil.

in a few games, they would pass the ball around beautifully and make many scoring chances but then fall behind 1-0. but they never worried, because they knew they would win.

in the first game, russia went up 1-0 when the brazil goalie let a shot hit off his arm and go into the net. it was so embarrassing! and russia was still leading 1-0 after 79 minutes. then brazil came back with the magical goals of doctor socrates and eder. what class!

socrates had the ball at the edge of the box. he was dribbling from left to right. while dribbling, he pretended to shoot but kept dribbling instead; the defender almost fell down. then, he did the same movement again. but this time he smoked the ball. it flew like a rocket from the edge of the penatly area into the top of the net. goalie had no chance.

eder's goal was one of the most beautiful world cup goals ever. junior (i think) got the ball near the corner flag and did a little dance over it, then passed it back toward midfield to the king FALCAO. but falcao, as cool as ever, decided he didn't want the ball. without looking, he just opened his legs, and the ball went right through ... to eder! eder was charging forward. while in stride, he flicked the ball in the air and STILL IN STRIDE whacked it with the outside of his left boot. it curled and flew inside the goalie's left post. THE GOALKEEPER DIDN'T MOVE!!!! the first time he moved was to pick the ball up out of the net. 2-1 brazil.

i remember one of the announcers saying that brazil was the best and, "the team that beats brazil is going to win the world cup." he meant that there was no way anyone could beat brazil, but if you beat brazil you had to be the best. well, the announcer was right. it was destiny for brazil to lose to italy.

in the other games, brazil routed argentina 3-1. that game had a free kick from midfield from eder that hit the crossbar!

brazil also beat new zealand 4-0 and scotland 4-1. in the scotland game, brazil fell behind 1-0 but again didn't care. eder had another awesome goal, chipping the ball over the goalkeeper. falcao scored a screamer that stayed low to the ground!

tonyp3, there's so much you missed!
