Ángel Di María

[Jordzibob]

If he can get out of the pit of despair that is Benfica, where all the could have beens go to, if he can scrabble up the wall to safety. Then hats off to him. If not he's *****ed, lol.

What a wonderful game by Angel last night.
I'm still 100% sure about my prediction that Argentina - Spain will be the finals.

 

[ranjix]

What about Brazil???

 

[Jordzibob]

At the idea of either of them getting to the final. Argentina wont if they are managed by Maradona, and Brazil just wont anyway

 

[ranjix]

I'd like to see Brazil out at group stage

 

[barcetia]

Brazil - Spain will be the semis Dunga's anti football has no chance against Tiqui taka with Melo

 

[ranjix]

What if Spain, Argentina and Brazil were on same group(Would not happen though)?

 

[Jordzibob]

I'd like to see Brazil out at group stage

Ditto, simply because a) They dont deserve to be in the knockout stages because they are so lazy as a team, b) I live in England, everytime Brazil are on the tv they are glorified, its pathetic, I dont see how the pundits dont know the glory days, for the moment, are done and dusted c) Their position in the world rankings atm disgusts me.

The groups already got drawn though? And Spain would pwn both of them. Brazil are too lazy to work against the level of Spain's play, and Argentina under Maradonna are far too eratic and ill disciplined to beat Spain.

The last decade, yes, there hasindeed been a lot of "Joga Bonito" but Dunga has ruined everything for them. Counter-attacks, counter-attacks, counter-attacks.

I don't trust a player who looks like this:

 

[ranjix]

Yeah....that looks like Cristi

 

[beef-supreme]

What a run/dribble and strike that was against Germany though, when he hit the crossbar. He is such an intense player. He is like a scrawny version of Hulk, more skill, less bulk, but both of them are powerful players.

I heard on an interview several months ago that Dunga is retiring after the WC this year regardless of who wins. Has anyone else heard this?

 

[Andres Iniesta]

Another big game of Di Maria...
