You can't blame Brazil

I saw a golden statue of Dunga when I dozed off halfway through the match...

I still feel bad for Dunga, he wasn't that bad a coach...

but then people would keep bitching about how he played too defensively

but Mano makes Dunga look so good....

Dunga's problem what that he was Brazil's coach, that is all. I don't blame the fans (including me) for complaining about his defensive tactics. But he was a great coach, no doubt about it.

But I'll wait until the end of Brazil's campaign at this Copa América to judge Mano.

same here...as i said in another thread,this tournament will prove if good defenses win trophies as they say

The players are saying "bad finishing " was the reason why we didn't win it..

might as well just blame robinho for not finishing an open goal

You can't blame Brazil, blame their coach for not selecting Marcelo

I will blame who i feel like and i blame no one.

( Sorry if my words seem jumbleeed up i have been at a wedding and been drinkingg all dayyy.)

:lol!:

Lol at the amount of excuses in this thread.

Brazil should have won and they didn't.

Tactics or not tactics, The individual performances were poor. Anyways watch them come back in the next game..

Most national teams don't get ideal preparation.

Give them time.. its just the first match lol

Spain WC 2010, reminds u of something.. just saying!!

i blame marcelo, hulk, hernanes, and renato augusto...



oh wait

all poor mens

Neymar is poor man's Cristiano Ronaldo.

no excuses they should have won

Relax guys.. It will still be Brazil vs Argentina in the finals

If Brasil go on to win their next two games, everyone will (probably correctly) say that this game was just a little hitch. However, if Brasil don't win their next two group games, there can be no more excuses but it's time to get worried.

If Brasil go out in the group stages, expect them to announce a new coach lmao

Same can be said for Argentina. Only difference is Argentina have alot more experience and proven players in their team than Brasil does.

Not calling up Hulk or Marcelo is looking more and more laughable

If we don't do well at this competition, I assure you that Mano will be fired, he just has to be. He wasn't even our first choice. The problem is that our first choice is at Santos right now, and will stay there at least until the end of the year because of the CWC. He has won 4 out of the last 5 Brasileirões, and now the Copa Libertadores. Mano hasn't even won one Brasileirão lol.

But, although he is pretty good, he is kind of similar to Dunga. He can be very defensive, but I think he has been training Ganso and Neymar for some time now, and he knows how to play them...

Retarded manager doesn't call up Hulk who has more killer instinct than all of Brazil combined bar Pato.Doesn't call up Marcelo...Calls Fred ahead of Nilmar...Plays Neymar & Robinho at the same time Apparently instructs Dani Alves to cut inside Calls up Elias,Elano,Lucas and Jadson & forgets about Anderson & Hernanes...

Plays Ramires & Lucas as holders So much fail...




This team would have won 5-0 yesterday...

Says an Inter fan. Dani Alves did okay in my opinion, and Maicon is in no form to dispute that position.

Neymar and Robinho played together at Santos last year and destroyed everyone. They've also played together for Brazil before and done well.. I think Hulk needs a move away from Portugal if he wants to impress our coach a little. But I agree with you that he should've been called up. He would sit on the bench if it was up to me, and would've come on during the second half last night.

Anderson, really? Hasn't impressed enough to be called up, let alone be a starter lol. I smell European bias.

Ganso is a starter, get used to it. He is good, but he had a terrible game. It happens.

VibeTribe wrote:Anderson improved so much,had a great run of games when given the chance and his passing was exceptional recently.He became very strong,has great movement & those are basically the things Brazil lacked.

Alves was great in defense yesterday,but considering how one sided the flow of the game was he was invisible in offense.Provided zero width.Maicon would be much more suited for the game...

As for Ganso I said nothing about him,I like him but he went stealth mode tonight.Clearly not fit enough...

Anderson has definitely improved, but now-you're-a-starter-for-Brazil sort of improved? i don't think so..

I'm a big Maicon fan, but I'm not sure he could've done much better. Our biggest problem was the 4 men up front.. I don't know how much he could do to help.

Btw, at the last Copa América we started by losing 0-2 to México.. then we went on to win the whole thing.

He also said that he will make some changes during training, and will change a player or two if necessary for the next game......
