  1. Excellent article! I find it very interesting that many coaches are playing on a counter-attacking 4-2-3-1/4-5-1, it is like the new 4-4-2 of the last two decades.... But...but...No Chelsea News?
  2. There is a famous woman in Brazil (Maite Proença) who always says: 'Women like credit cars, who likes penises are gay men'.
  3. In a more rude way: Women like credit cards. Men like pussies.
  4. Than not even Santos would have that much. I actually wouldnt know most of the first pro teams players were with...
  5. Yeah, Real would too.. And why wouldnt they play for Barcelona? Isnt it the first professional team they play?
  6. Than that is an easy question...Santos and Barcelona! Santos: Neymar, Ganso, Robinho, Diego, Andre, Elano, Zé Roberto, etc. Barcelona: Messi, Pedro, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, etc.
  7. You know what would happen in pratical terms? Clubs would either take 8yo children away from their home or we would return to the past! So, I will be a humanitarian and assume kids wont have their childhood stolen and only predict one of the possibilities: Brazil, Germany, Spain and Argentina would probaby have the best leagues by far. On the other hand, EPL would be shit as hell by depending on English players (and so on with the other small countries)... This would prevent us from having a top tournament like the Champions League, where every single top player come together. Because it is impossible to constantly have matches between South America, Africa and Europe. Meaning football would pretty much return to the 50s-60s, before this huge Globalization! All of that would weaken club football and remake the World Cup the best possible tournament. Which is bad, because right now we have UCL every year, while the WC only comes in every four years. And that is not even tackling the fact dream teams would never ever be possible again. I would hate not to see new Ajaxs, Milans, Barcelonas, Chelseas, etc.
  8. None of that is actually a problem when you are a big nation with lots of options...As a Brazilian, I can write a post in the same mood as this one for every single World Cup we have participated (including 2002)! Now, the absolute must to win a 1 month tournament is to believe you can pull it off. You can have the best team, but if you dont have 110% confidence you are the best, you wont win a WC. Something very clear in the last two winners. Italy and Spain didnt play great and even faced 'better' teams, but they were certain about what they wanted! The problem with Germany (and England in 2006) is that they dont have the manager who will put that inside the players head. They dont have the leader who will make their players give that extra effort. Overall, if you dont have a manager who is both a leader and a motivator, you will never win a WC. And neither Löw nor Capello have these attributes... World Cups are like this, if you are in it you have a chance. But the problem is making your squad believe in that. Something Felipão knows!!!
  9. I view our situation a little bit like that of Indianapolis Colts' Peyton vs Luck one a couple of years ago... Although the difference in quality between Manning and Luck is greater than that of Cech and Courtois, there are many similarities. Peyton still had 4-5 years of top quality american football left in him, with a good amount of chances of him winning another SuperBowl. However, a very young and promissing Andrew Luck would give the Colts 15+ years of playing time, securing Indianapolis chances in the long term. Their owner decided to have a drop in quality by giving up on Peyton Manning, in order to secure a future top QB! We will have to decide between the same thing. Do we want what is still left of our best GK ever (who is still the best one in EPL) or do we want to move on and have 10+ years of an amazing young keeper? I personally dont know the answer, but whatever Mourinho and Emenalo decides, I will back it up!
  10. See, eletrical engineers are all full of themselves just because it is hard!But in the end you are all just a bunch of useless electricists with a degree...
  11. Glorified plumbers? Oh please, go fix the lighting bulb and call yourself an engineer!
  12. But when the end of the world arrives and the zombies of Walking Dead attack us, no one will need your electrical engineerig abilities. While Sinine and I will survive by combining our medical and mechanical engineering skills!
  13. Hahahaha, be careful, Thor 2 is coming out soon and he will want reasons to use the new GIFs! I dont meant to know more than you do (because I obviously dont, my thing is maths and physics and our talks in the Health Thread proove you sure know about your biology), but the way you answered Alex gave (to me) the impression you were dismissing his concern over his A- blood. That's why I quoted saying it wasnt that easy.
  14. It is not about what is important to know! If Tomo created the thread it mean he WANTS to know what people prefer, it has nothing to do with if it is important to know or if you give a damn about it. Just dont go posting someone's thread is useless just because it doesnt interest you...
  15. This thread makes absolute sense because all he wants is to know what members prefer the most, their club or their country! Each person will give their personal opinion and end of story, no right or wrong answer...
  16. Ok, but still...My mom is a doctor and she doesnt use any other type of blood because it causes complications. You can give O- to an A- patient, but you cant at the same time. So, it is not like what Alex was saying was absurd!
  17. It actually does matter by the historic point of view, even if that isnt what interest most people...There are three possible scenarios for Jesus.1) 'Everything' is true. 2) Everything is made up. 3) They took an existing person and made him son of God. You might be interest in finding out if he was or wasnt a Messiah, but there are a group of people (including me) who simply dont care about that and just want to know what percentage of it was true and what wasnt. And his existance is part of that! It might not mean anything for you if people came with 'proof' that Jesus really existed, but we still dont know much about what he did in life. But that would be actually a great pass foward to discovering more about the thing he did or didnt do...
  18. I like the Old Testament way more than the New One... The Pentateuch is just amazing, IMO.
  19. That is a hard one... I guess I prefer club over country for 3/4 years, but the atmosphere of the World Cups are just unbeatable, nothing even comes close. I have seen Brazil win the 2002 WC and I was in Munich in 2012 to see Chelsea win UCL, and it is fucking hard to decide which one I was most happy about. However, think of 2002 as if all of England was celebrating like Chelsea fans with parades throughout the whole country (quite literally). I think that can give you an idea of what the World Cup is like here in Brazil! Nevertheless, while I like pretty mich everything involving club football (the league, the cups, champions league, etc), I only enjoy one tournament that happens once every four years in international football. Anyways, wrote all of that and still couldnt give out a clear answer!
