Brasil vs Ireland - Intl Friendly

[Luka]

We would be proud if they play 45 minutes.

Pretty terrible refereeing decision there, Robinho wasn't even close to being onside...Then again, the Irish are probably used to this level of refereeing

Cream rises to the top as they say, Brasil just a better side...Dunga sure has a wealth of options at his disposal...I'd argue they looked better with some of the subs he made...And the kids sure can play

I have a hard time saying Daniel without the accompanying line from Elton John's song of 'my brother'...Plus, we hermanos, por supuesto :thumbsup:

I think they gotta play on the pitch at the same time...Assuming Maicon plays at RB, I think Dani has to rotate with Elano or something in the midfield...Dani is better going forward, IMHO, and is simply too technically gifted to be sitting as a sub for Selecao

Dunga has toyed with it at times, did today too, Dani nearly scored seconds after he came on too.

There's definitely some inconsistency in the midfield for Dunga's side...Too much reliance on Kaka and it appears Ronaldinho is outta the mix...Dani brings a lot to the table and watching the match, the 2nd half with him in it was the Joga Bonito sorta Brasil we've grown accustomed to seeing in year's past
