WTF is Benite thinking??

Benitez outclassed by Tite.

No, they are playing like Swansea or West Bronwich. Reading is on botton of the table.

Corinthians is playing really well.

Who are those people saying Cahill was our best defender??

I dont know what you do, but I never met one person was the same at 18 and 23 year old. specially because its a time when a lot of different experiences are happening, like university, job, driving cars, getting your own money. Anyway, perhaps you are weird or you never thought about how you were 5 years ago.

It shows you are not intelligent and mature enough, because no people in the world is mature or intelligent enough with 18 or 24 years old. A 18 years old saying he is mature enough...typical. :tophat:

lol, really? Thats not a good thing.

You are 18 years old, so it explains your behavior and the typical arguments made by teenagers. Believe me, 6 years from now you realize that sometimes experience also brings intelligence. I'm wasting my time with you. :tophat:

@rmpr dude, dont waste your time to write a huge post that has nothing to do with the subject. You said I'm anti brazilian and unbrazilian based in the fact I say brazilian league is not good and that Corinthians is as good as Swansea. I want you to prove I'm unbrazilian and anti brazilian. edit: I realized you are 18 years old...nevermind.

You are wrong, brazilian dont get offended for relating Brazil to football and samba, people get offended when they think Brazil is all about samba and football, thats a huge difference. The argument by the other guy here was even more stupid, because he said I'm anti brazilian because I believe brazilian league is weak, Corinthians is in same level as West Browinch and Swansea, or because I think this FIFA trophy is shit even if some brazilians see it as a huge thing.

Dude, this post only shows I was right about you: you are the typical brazilian that thinks Brazil = football. In fact I never talked about Brazil in this forum, only about brazilian football. You are that kind of people that believes they have to say good things about brazilian football to show all their "brazilian proud". So dont come with this bullshit about not having pride for anything brazilian. I downgrade brazilian football league, I never downgrade my country, dont come with this bullshit, I'm not the kind of person that is proud of Anderson Silva and Neymar, in fact Brazil would be a better place if it was known for scientists, universities and technology other than football, UFC and samba. Waste your nationalism with things that really matters, its better than trying to prove that Corinthias can beat anyhting in the world if they play like they did in Libertadores only 5 months ago. I dont have any proud of Corinthians, and when I'm in another country the last thing I will talk about Brazil is football. edit: your "anti-Brazil" and "unbrazilian" thing is really pathetic dude, grow up. Read some books about brazilian history, perhaps you might understand what being a brazilian means, and please, dont you ever say I'm anti brazilian again, or I will have to contact the adms, because its easily the most offensive thing it was said about me in this forum.

Dude, please stop quoting my posts to reply with this kind of thing. I have a solid opinion about brazilian football, so please, dont come with this kind of argument. The fact it will still be considered awesome in SA, even if its shit and stupid only shows how SA is far way from the 1st world of football. Dont get me wrong, but I think its a little embarrasing, 60% of the posts about this "world cup" came from you, but most part of this forum dont really care about it, even in SA I'm pretty sure that only Brazil (and because its Corinthians) is paying attention for this competition, in fact I think the football world is not paying attention at all.

Some facts about this topic: - Only 7 pages, less than 8 hours before the game, same as an avarage EPL game. - Most active members are brazilians. This speaks loud about this tournament. Only south americans teams gives a shit about it. Its really sad to see a club like Corinthians thinking this is the most important match in their story, because this tournament is really shit, every single game was garbage, both semi-finals were awful. In the first one we had bad football by both teams, the other there was only one team playing, and the stadium was half empty and with a cold atmosphere. A journalist from Brazil is in London right now, and he was impressed about the lack of interest. He went to a pub near Stamford Bridge, and he found 5 people watching Chelsea vs Monterey: 3 mexicans supporting Monterey, and a norweagian couple suppoting Chelsea. After the game he asked a Chelsea's employee near SB about the final result, then he replied: "there is no one playing right now".

Benitez tested Marin alongside Hazard, Mata and Torres. Mikel was tested with Ramires and Lampard. Luiz back to CB, and Ivanovic to RB. I dont see Marin starting this, I think he will come as a sub in the second half.

I respect RDM, but there is a huge diffrence between Benitez and RDM in terms of management skills.

Dude, Corinthians won Libertadores against Boca Junior. The argentinian side were a very old team, with few class players. Their better player was a fading Riquelme. In Brazil is not a surprise to see a team like Corinthians losing or getting one single point when they play against sides like Figueirense. Al Ahly is like Figueirense, its really common to see a team like Corinthians suffering like they did in this semi finals when they face sides like Bahia, Figueirense and Sport. Even Flumiense had a tought game against a Palmeiras side full of problems and many players injured, as I said before, this Corinthians is squad is far from superb, I dont see a huge difference between Cortinhians and Palmeiras squad, the diffrence in their manager. Corinthians have good tactics, and they also have a long term project with Tite, but this kind of thing doesnt happen so often in Brazil, so it make Corinthians look like much better than they really are. Listen, days ago the brazilian press was saying that Corinthians was the favourite for this tournament, and that it will be a surprise to see Al Aly winning, but it wont be a surprise if Monterey was going to the finals. After the semi finals these guys are quite, because its clear that theres is a HUGE difference in class between Chelsea and Corinthians. Now the talk in Brazil is: Chelsea is much better, but Corinthians can win it. I was watching a program in Sportv today, and they were rating Chelseas and Corinthians players, while they were right when they said in 9 positions Chelsea had the best players, for these guys, Cech aside, the best players from Chelsea were Oscar, Ramires and Luiz. Luiz and Ramires got a 8.2, Oscar a incredible 8.9, while Mata got 8.0. These only shows how biased are brazilians towards anything related with brazillian football. Even when they say Messi is better than Neymar, they also have to point: "Neymar is younger, Messi is more experienced". Last year many people in Brazil really believed Santos could beat Barcelona, and that there wasnt a huge difference between both sides. Well...

Nah, Scolari will use Luiz as a CB, not matter he positiont he plays for Chelsea. We have many cases in the past where players were playing as DM in their clubs and as a CB in NT, just like Edmilson, that used to play as a DM in many ocasions in europeans clubs, but was a CB in 2002 WC, when Scolari was the manager. Mascherano play some games as a CB for Barcelona, but in Argentina he is not even considered for that position. I really dont know what you are talking about, dude, this talk about trasnfer resquest is really nonsense.

lol I'm sure David is not the kind o player that would request a transfer because of this.

Not sure Luiz will start as a DM again. Azi wasnt that goodmtiday in defence, Ivanovic to other side is terrible this season as a RB.

You are the one underating Reading. If both teams play, I'm sure that would be an equal match. Top brazilian teams would get a 10th position in PL, in most optimistic scenario. I'm the one telling the truth.

Dont get me wrong, we have guy from Corinthians in this forum and you came to support him, saying their have a good team.I cant stand this, not right now. Corinthians is shit, and will always be.

You never met me. I never said Palmeiras ashames me. Felipão is shit, and I really mean it, one year ago I said Palmeiras was going to 2nd division under Felipão. He was good 10 years ago, right now he is shit. What Barcos has to do with this subject? Chelsea can lose it, but it has nothing to do with Corinthians being a very good team, its more like Chelsea being in a transition period than anything, if it was Chelsea from 2 or 3 years ago, it would be embarrasing. You said "SHUT UP", I take that as a insult, a huge insult.

SHUT UP YOU, IDIOT. (Never mess with Henrique) You are wearing a this avatar but you are licking the balls of these stupid team, you are a disgrace. Only a fool would be blind to no realize how shit is brazilian teams compared with european clubs. Everybody that watched their game, will realize that this team is slow and far from being very good. Corinthians had a big chance? Even Internacional won it against Barcelona, and Gabirú scored the winner, and he is playing in brazilian 3rd division right now, AND because Chelsea was in a transition time. This tournament is really shit. Every single game was awful, both semi-finals were a disgrace for a tournament that is supposed to be (for brazilians) the highest prize in football. I really dont know why you are so excited about this. Yes, Corinthians beating Chelsea is just like Reading doing the same.

Fuck off globoesporte. Official line-up is there: Oscar is starting.
