International Friendlies.

Watching Gabon v Brazil at the moment, Gabon have an amazing gameplan, make the pitch completely unplayable and walk their way to a 0-0 draw.

[Slim]

PLAN UNDONE!!!

Crickey Hough end on a rain soaked january sunday afternoon is better than that pitch

[Slim]

The Brazilian keeper tiptoeing to a ball that had just about stopped in the mud was funny.

[bigblue]

bum boy #2 Fabio has gotten skinned about 3 or 4 times in the first half alone

[Slim]

And he almost got his leg broke as well.

Gabon have put one of their Olympic runners in a football shirt, no skill at all and the commentators said "he's not only quick he's got some skill". WTF WERE THEY LOOKING AT?

According to the itv half time team, the new Terry Enry.

[Plain Speaking]

Brilliant goal from Balo in Italy game and sublime pass from Kompany for Belgium both on Youtube (sorry too tired to post links).
Happy days!

That was a beauty..Well done Mario.

[phips]

haha Suarez dropped 4 on Chile.

[ryanmjo]

Team Klinsmann is developing quite a knack for 1-0 defeats, unfortunately.

[Dameerto]

Thiago Silva starts in defence for Brazil over on ITV4 (kick off in a few minutes) - we were linked with him the other day.

Can anyone tell me if neymar is playing tonight?

[Dameerto]

Hulk and Jonas up front, Neymar isn't on the bench.

[Ted Hughes]

If Hulk ever learns to play football, he'll be incredible. All talent, no brain.

Brazil have got a nice base for a team there imo; good technique but less ponce than the last lot. Put Bob in charge of that & you'd have a hell of a team by the next world cup. Add a couple of flair players in the attacking 3rd, move Sideshow Bob to def midfield. Left back looks like a fantastic winger playing out of position too. Good attitude shown by most players though.

No doubt Pele & Co will insist they fill it with lazy, obnoxious, big headed, diving, arm waving, cunts & it'll be back to square one.

[bigblue]

Bob Bradley is the coach of Egypt? WTF?!

He was great at motivating players to give 100% but knows fuck all about tactics. Strange

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Watched Brazil against Gabon and now against Egypt and still don't know what to make of David Luiz.

He's had his ups and downs for Chelsea so far this season but, in the summer, a lot of the papers were tipping him to come to us and some of our fans would have liked him in City's colours. If we had signed him, I wonder if Bobby Manc could have worked his magic on him and made him look like a proper defender.

At the moment, he just seems to be a strange mixture of some skill but a lot of inconsistency.

And as for Hulk.............

I don't care if Hulk can play, I just want him for the name and the puns, oh god the puns.
