What does it have to do with a player's ability? I agree with everything you said there, but this has absolutely nothing to do wih someone's quality and talent. I guess you think Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Sanchez and Pedro are all overrated players because they play "tik-taka" then? You are all saying he is going to be the New Robinho and that he is going to fail, but you dont watch him regularly, so dont go making conclusions about what you dont know! Is there a chance he fails big time? Of course there is, but when you look at his personality and his talent, you realise it is very unlikely and it is a risk worth most clubs were willing to make (hence six clubs have officialy made a bid on him since 2011). I said this inumerous times, we got Hazard and we are better of with the Belgian, but that doesnt mean I will stop apreciating great players just because they are playing for other clubs. I love watching Messi, Ibra, CR7, Gotze, Ribery, etc. Even if I am cheering for them to lose, I cant deny they put on quite a good show! Above that, I do cheer for Brazilians, this is more than normal. I do want Lucas, Oscar, Hulk, Neymar, Hernanes, Sandro, T. Silva, Marcelo, Luiz, etc, to be playing at a high level so we can try to win the World Cup 2014!

Yeah, I said this in the Unpopular Opinions thread! I am a bit worried that some people might get killed, but the overall atmosphere will be out of this planet... Klose and Hernanes to score, C'MON LAZIO!

People saying Paulinho signed with Inter for 18mi euros. I think that was a good transfer for both the club and the player (consedering the rumors are true indeed).

Wait and see...

What? NO! Barcelona payed 28mi euros and nothin more (they have promised two friendlies though). There was a rumor going on that Barça payed 10mi euros to Neymar so he would promise to sign for them when he was free (after the WC 2014). However, this rumor totally faded away after the two Spanish giants fought to buy him on this transfer window, so I am guessing it is fake! Anyways, had it been true, Barcelona would have payed 38mi euros, which is close to 32mi pounds.

What is the score?

I was watching Vitória vs Internacional on Sportv and they announced it just as I posted, they even mentioned the thing I wrote about Chelsea. I didnt go to their website or anything...

Neymar father announced his son decided to go to Barcelona. Globo saying he signed a 5 year contract worth 7mi euros per season (plus bonuses). Real's offer was of 35mi euros and 11mi/season (no bonuses), but the instability and unfriendly environment apperantly drove Neymar away from them. Also, rumors suggesting we made a bid of 40mi and 10.5mi/season last summer, but Santos and Neymar rejected any chance of leaving in 2012 (their centerary anniversary)... Time to finally lock the thread!

Amazing final, incredibly entertaining! I am happy Robben finally got his redemption...

BVB dominated the first 25min, but then it was all Bayern! Both keepers having amazig games and Robben chocking again (just as on WC 2010 and UCL 2012)...

Dont really care who wins, to be quite honest!

LOL, what a horrible fake battle!

I watched some Euro 2012 games in 3D, but I didnt enjoy much...Give it a go and see for yourself though, channel 703 right?

You decide Rennah, should I watch on Globo or on ESPN?

This final is making me sick, it is trigerin all the memories I had from last year! The anticipation is the most tense part, once the game starts it is fucking easy compare to the wait...

LOL! De Rossi would be a good buy, specially if we manage to sell Mikel. Imagine De Rossi as a first option and Chalobah as his imediate substitute, pretty beast imo. Then, after a couple of years, we can incorporate Ake or RLC into the team and make Chalobah our main man. I dont see a problem in doing so!

Thats why it has a question mark after it (and so does Sttutgart that still has to play against Bayern).

Believe in who you want dude, I dont give a shit, but it is wrong anyway!Marca talking about Barcelona is the most ridiculous thing in the world, if you want a decent Catalan source, go to Mundo Desportivo.

No, it is 28mi for 100% of his rights, but Santos only has 55%...

100% agree, but still not a bad deal for Barcelona!

No, but he is better than people here make of him. Some pages back you will see people saying Moses is a better player! :lol2:

Yeah, but you have to put things in context. Brazil has a new manager and we aren't playing half as good as we can (we drew 2-2 against Chile at home). Neymar had quite an incredible game agains a full Italy team (who are better than Russia and England) though. National team performance is not the same as for club, Ronaldinho never played well for Brazil (besides 2002). Is he a bad player because of that? Hazard is very good, but I think Neymar has a higher potential and he will ultimately be better. However, if you ask me who is the better player now, that is Hazard without a single doubt. P.S: I hope you are right, prefer to see a Chelsea player win Ballon D'Or than someone who plays for fucking Barcelona!

We will win our both titles in Germany, I seriously think we will win in 2015!

He has one year left on his contract, it ends after the WC 2014. Barcelona payed 28mi euros for Neymar and we payed 40mi euros for Hazard. Taking into consideration they are both at about the same level, it wasn't the worse of the deals Barcelona could have made...

There was a time when I thought we would certainly get one of Falcao or Cavani, but I now dont believe it will happen!
