That 3rd goal was something United used to score against us.
They did it less than 12 months ago
Called up to replace Antony. All 3 of our boys are now with the national team.
Canât stop watching that goal.
It was a very special moment being at the Emirates yesterday for those last two goals. Whole load of people in front of me left after Utd scored, before waiting to see it be ruled offside and then missed the Rice and Jesus goalsâŚprecisely why I never leave the match until the final whistle has gone!
Shame that clip wasnât longer. I mean, I was âthereâ with that. Iâve played it a few times over.
Does Brazil have a shortage of wingers that this waster is getting called in the first place?
Donât need any knee related setbacks. Just two weeks of mild conditioning work.
I mean Richarlison get caps playing up front. Brazil arenât what they used to be.
Brazil have been trash for almost 20 years now. Theyâre not a threat to any well drilled team.
Vinicius, Neymar, Martinelli and Jesus are all brilliant players individually.
But they donât hold a candle compared to Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka.
Nowadays theyâre filled with primadonnas whoâre all style no substanceâŚAubameyang types like Richarlison.
If someone like Pep or Mourinho managed them, theyâd probably get mighty close though, cause the talent is definitely still there.
I donât think they have nearly as much style as the old Brazil national team.
Most of the Brazilian players I see are more efficient but lack that Ronaldinho flair. Richarlison is a great example of a boring player that ticks off some stats categories.
Yups, though Iâd describe Richarlison as a TikTok footballer .
Heâs like Balotelli from his Man City / Mancini days.
Yeah the current crop of Brazil players (and the last 10 years for that matter) canât hold a candle to Brazil of 98/02.
Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Gilberto, Ronaldo etc.
Antony, Vini, Rodrygo, Richarlison, Paqueta etc are a bunch of fucking nobodies compared to them.
I canât even name Brazilâs midfield or any of their fullbacks anymore. Itâs a travesty compared to who they used to be.
Neymar is the only one who really comes close and even then he doesnât properly deserve to be in the same tier.
He can only wish he was good as Ballotelli at City.
Neymar is absolutely worthy of that tier, absolute top quality footballer⌠durability though has been his Achilles heel.,
Vinny Jnr is special also.
Yeah but I feel like Neymarâs lack of international success (WC) and going to PSG tarnishes his legacy imo.
Vini is obviously special but he still doesnât have that same sort of samba flair and vibe to him like R9, Kaka, Ronaldinho etc
Yeah I do agree going to the French league in his prime and mid 20s was so disappointing
Think some of their players are getting slightly disrespected here. Maybe on a name recognition front itâs different but in terms of quality on the pitch thereâs still a very strong group of players.
Alisson, Ederson, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Casemiro, Neymar, Vini Jr are/have recently been world class players that could compete with and in some cases better the names mentioned in their respective positions.
I can respect him going to PSG to try and step out of Messiâs shadow tbh, his injuries have been very costly.
He will be the top goal scorer for Brazil when itâs all said and done and thatâs nothing to sniff at, just hasnât fallen for him on the international stage for one reason or another.
His legacy is a fine one IMO
