Could he handle playing on the left for a full 90 minutes, I don't know. I wouldn't mind seeing it during the next friendly. Alves had one run on the left, where he was using his right foot into the box that a left footed player could have potentially put a shot on goal, but Alves had the ball taken away if I recall. Still it was an interesting experiment, and you guys have been calling for it for awhile! Joel, I gotta give you and Armando props for that suggestion about Alves.

Actually depends is he can adept as a left back. Like Lahm, as he can play right and left back I said he should play Alves on the left a while back. Actually depends is he can adept as a left back.

I think Brazil looked terrible also. But something needs to be said of Dunga waiting until the last 10 minutes to make a sub. I'll wait for your recap to post more don't want to jump the gun. But there some players who should've came off after 55 minutes as opposed to 85. Yea. I think Brazil looked terrible also.
