It struck everyone by surprise, it was way worse than RDM.

The media is expeculating Scolari, Muricy or Pep. not looking good for us.

Yeah i didn't see this one coming either, Brazil have been playing some good football recently, and he's found a good system with Kaka, Oscar and Neymar.

The new manager better not fuck with that.

How can any neutral just not love the Seleção when they are at their best?

Because we have the worst football federation in the universe.

Seriously, we will end up with Scolari or Tite. There goes our dream of having our sixth champion...

At least Pep has a vision and isn't a complete ass like Big Phil or the other guy. Or Old 'Arry could be the gaffer, he plays good attractive football even if he is a complete and utter illiterate twat. Mark Hughes could be a good shout too, he has experience with Brazilians too, Fabio and Julio.

I know it's Brasil not Brazil but is the demonym 'Brasilian' or 'Brazilian'?

The ancient men leading our football association are just too cocky to apoint a foreign manager. They still live in the 70s and 80s where we were the best, WERE.

It is either Scolari, Tite (Corinthians) or Pep. Scolario is the people`s favourite because of what he did in 2002, Tite is the best manager right now and he might become CWC champion and Pepe is the media`s favourite.

In portuguese it is Brasil and Brasileiro. In english it is Brazil and Brazilian.

There's a thin line between being accurate and being pretentious. I've met people who say they've been on vacation to Paris ("as in paree") and you want to punch them (unless they are native French speakers). IIt's an interesting subject..Speaking of slightly OT, I once bought a football which had a bunch of countries and their flags on it (poor quality, just to kick against a wall). It was made in Pakistan and the country names were amazing! I kept the ball for like 5 years and still remember the spelling mistakes. (Englang, South Koria, Maxico, Jamica,Barsil, and others)...I still like "Englang" and "Maxico" the best.

Don't worry Toronto I understand you. I understand...

WOW, by your post it seems I did something wrong...

I dont know what it is but it seems I answered you in a rude way. It was not my intention, at all. I didnt quite undestand what you were asking so I tried to answer in the most objective way. When you are speaking in portuguese it is Brasil and then Brasileiro, but when you are speaking in English it is Brazil and Brazilian. Obviously you know it is Brazilian so I did not understand your question. I am confused and I bit ashamed actually. :blink:

Haha, don't worry about it. You've done nothing wrong. You answered my question perfectly. Toronto was just ranting about nonsense. He just thinks it is pretentious for English speakers to call Paris, Paree or Munich, Munchen or Vienna, Wien. You follow me?

LOL

I see now, sorry.

Yes, but dont you think it only happens there. People go to New York (american ascent) and not to Nova Iorque, etc...

I still dont understand why you asked if it was Brasilian, but that is ok.

I was just confused because I'd have thought Brasil = Brasilian but in one of your posts you used Brasil and Brazilian.

But let's forget about it!

I understand it now, thanks to Spike.

I agree, it is definetly a fine line between what is acurate and what is pretensious. I think people need to adapt to whatever situation they are. For instance, I find it rude when Brazilians use english words in the correct way, simply because it is to show off and not to be correct. So when I am speaking portuguese I try to speak with our wrong ascent (names, places, etc). However, when I am speaking in another language I try to follow their respective rules (English, Spanish and German).

In your case, I find it ridiculous to pronounce "Paree" to an english speaker. It is hard to know when to use the acurate or the more polite way, but we need to be careful and use our common sense. Specially when we are writting, since there is no intonation.

Btw, I love to see how different languages pronounce and spell places and names!
