Comments on: Brazil 3 – 2 United States http://brazil.worldcupblog.org/group-f/brazil-3-2-united-states.html World Cup 2006 - Germany Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:41:20 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mark http://brazil.worldcupblog.org/group-f/brazil-3-2-united-states.html/comment-page-1#comment-175053 Mark Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:56:27 +0000 http://brazil.worldcupblog.org/group-f/brazil-3-2-united-states.html#comment-175053 Yeah bad reffering especially for not counting the goal that went in and was not counted against you. That game should have been 5-0 but the U.S with all their training, money, doctors, nutrisonist, technology available, and being a larger country of 300 million still was not able to defend being up by 2 goals. Let us not forget the first game that was 3-0 for Brazil. I mean the U.S Just gets lucky to win. That is so unfair, FIFA should investigate them for being opportunistic players with no skills who can only score by accident.

Yes he made a mistake by not picking up Clint D which resulted in the first goal but after that he did not put a foot wrong. Hernanes is not as good Gilberto at least not right now. You see Gilberto role is the similar to the role that Dunga use to play for Brazil. You have to be able to tackle and pass the ball well and that is what Gilberto does very well. Hernanes Lucas Denilson Anderson etc are not up to the standard required for this postion at international level. Gilberto is fine.

Try to put Diego and Ronaldinho into the team alongside Kaka and Robinho. Also, play Pato. And Get Alves and Alex into the defense. Ronaldinho may be off form but with Kaka gone from Milan he can be the star of the show. Also, Diego's from has been sensational and even with poor past performances he does deserve a second chance. My team would be : Luis Fabiano Pato Ronaldinho Kaka Diego Robinho Dani Alves Lucio Alex Maicon Julio Ceaser Subs Doni Hernanes Kerrirson Melo Luisao Marcelo Ramires I feel Brazil could get alot more goals. I am not saying players like Melo are bad I just think this team could win games more convincingly. Brazil at times lacked flair and creativity.

Well done!!! Lucio definitely is one of the best centre back in the world. But he is aging and his form is not as steady as before. Luisao good in the air but a bit dull. I'm quite disappointed with Ramires performance in the last two games. Andre Santos nothing special. He is just an average leftback. Kleber is definitely out. As for Gilberto Silva, same as Lucio, aging and his form not staedy at all. I think these are all the problems Dunga needs to consider before the world cup and perhaps the next qualifying game.

If Dunga never had any problem playing midgets like Mineiro and Josue in that position, I don't see why he can't consider Alves Undersized???

Gilberto Silva however is a weakness, i wonder if Dani Alves cud play his position? a lil undersised maybe?

Lucio is a great Center back. And his skill for a Center back is unmatched in my opinion. He's amazing! Josi I agree. Lucio is a great Center back.

Basically old age in the case of Roberto Carlos. Age and injury for Ronaldo, although we might see him again at some point. Ronaldinho, poor form, he deserved to be dropped after some bad matches with the team and his club. For the person who asked about Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Roberto Carlos.

For me when I read that John Terry Rio ferdinand and chellini puyol etc are better players than lucio I just laugh. None of them have the skill of lucio. None of them can beat players off the dribble or start an attack like Lucio. Lucio's problem if you ask me is that he is Brazilian and Brazil is not known to produce world class centre backs if you beleive media hype Great win by Brazil the US played well though ramirez and andre santos are the only 2 weakness on the side and Dunga will get that right before long.

Baffles me when sportwriters rate guys like Terry, Rio ferdinand, Chellini etc as the best center backs and omit him. I ceratinly will nominate him as the MVP of the tournament @Duvel-by the way, you are right on- Lucio was spectacular during this tournament- brazil will certainly miss him when he retires.
