haha yeah that was definitely part of his charm.


so what is this, the brazil b or C team.

The Brazilian team is really inexperienced and young. Players like Neymar are handled with gloves in the Brazilian league. I think the US just needs to get physical (assuming the ref allows it) to win.

I mean, I hope the US can find a way to win, and that looks like it would be a good way.

But the ref just hasn't shown so far that he'd let that happen

I don't know why the olympics keep getting brought up. No one in Brazil really gives a poo poo about soccer in the olympics. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of the world feels that way as well :wtc:

I don't think I'm talking out of my rear end here but the majority (no source) of Brazilians don't think the team is very good and that Mano sucks the big one.*

It looked to me as though he just lost control of the ball. Not sure that it was intentional to send it out for a corner.
