Cristiano and Messi flopped quite a bit....

I think Jose was disappointed, but kind of understood where he was coming from.

Actually, Jose did, which allowed Mata being sold to be an easy decision for him.

thats cool.

In the CC, Neymar was more towards the left, while Oscar played in the middle more often than not. However, in the world cup its been Hulk-Neymar-Oscar. When Oscar played in the middle for Brazil against Croatia in the second half, Brazil defensively were getting worked on the wings and Scolari reverted back to Neymar in the middle. I don't know if its Scolari or the brazil federation that tells Scolari to make sure Neymar is the focal point of Brazil...

Yes, because Suarez doesn't flop around half the game.. like Neymar does.... said no one ever. Hazard needs to learn how to fall and dive/flop if he wants to extend his career. All those little knocks to his ankles and the rest of his body will come back to long term injuries for him, which will be very difficult to overcome when he gets older.

I kind of wish hazard fell down similar to what Neymar does..... All those little kicks, shoves, pushes are going to take a toll on Hazard's body in the future...

David Luiz, Brazil winger today.

TBH, Brazil wings need protection moreso than the middle with Gustavo + Fernandinho. Both Marcelo and Alves are defensive liabilities and Oscar is the best out of the ams in pressing and retaining possession, so I can understand why Scolari puts him on the wings. Marcelo this tournament has been able to hold his own to a degree, but Alves is a mistake waiting to happen. Oscar is playing a role for Scolari that Scolari wants and Oscar accepted moving forward for the team.

This. Mano Brazil was led by Oscar, Scolari is led by Neymar. It's really easy to see the difference in both teams... Also, when Neymar has the ball/plays the 10, he doesnt really look for the pass, moreso to draw fouls or to score himself, which is the huge contrast between neymar 10 and oscar 10. However, if Brazil win the world cup, than I guess it was the correct decision...

Menenez v Scolari.

Neymar played the 10 against Croatia. Than Oscar slipped in 10 in the second half, however, defensively, Brazil kept getting attacked on the wings, so they put Oscar back on the wings.

Nah, because people don't say Oscar is world class. However, people said Hazard and mata were.... Near the same level my ass. James disappeared from everyone radar cause he went to monaco. Prior to that, everyone knew James was freaking good.

Falcao has scored 14 goals in the last 3 years for Colombia (25 games). Unless, you think Guitierrezz is is adequate..... Said no one ever.

Don't worry. Next game will be a good showcase for both sides young attackers.

4 players I would go for if Chelsea sold Oscar. James, Thiago, Gundogan or Modric. ONLY those 4. NOT 2014 Cesc or Kroos. Gotze is kind of up in the air for me nowadays...

Colombia vs Brazil going to be a great match.... Too bad Falcao got injured, because Colombia would be favorites to win World cup.

All I remember saying when people claimed Juan Mata to be world class that james Rodriguez was better than both Hazard and Mata.

Oscar had some key passes in the first half, but went mia in the second half.... Brazil in general went mia in the second half as well...

Bernard>Willian Scolari needs to make that change next time.

Pogba and Ramires are nothing alike.

Hmmm, no one has Ramires in their starting 11, but any logical person would tell you that in Jose 11, Ramires will always be there. Ramires is the last person Jose will drop unless we get Vidal...

PR 101 guys.....

?

Spain and their superior technically ability says hi in the world cup. Waking up every morning and bashing Oscar is my job-Lionsden.
