Summer Mercato 2011

[Pato Milan]

I think the problem with Argentina and Brazil is that they have too much talents at hands and the coach just don't know what to do with them. How Hernanes, Jucelei and Melo did not make the team while Lucas of Pool made the cut is beyond me. BTW, where is Macerlo, oh, he did not get the call.

Felipe Melo!!??!?! What has he done for juve? And he was the reason why Brazil didnt go further in the previous world cup, Brazil hates this man. I agree witht the rest though, Brazil lacked midfield, Ganso is still not match fit and Ramires and Lucas arent crative enough. A man like Hernanes should be in the team since he has experience against tight games where the opposing team parks the bus infront of the goal. Instead of Lucas Leiva I would put either Jucilei or Sandro since they are technically better, stronger and they can hold the ball, I havent seen much of Arouca but I think he could be a nice alternative (Brasileiro rates him very, very highly). I really want to see Marcelo in team but he was not called up due off the pitch problems. It would also be nice to see Hulk in the team but he would replace either Robinho or Neymar. What I also find unbelievable is that Fred is in the team, as Pato's sub I would much rather have Nilmar who brings a lot of speed or Leandro Damiao who is tall and can hold the ball.
For me Pato was the man of the match, every time he received a long ball he would control it beautifully and he hit the crossbar. Thiago Silva also gave nice long balls.
Agaisnt Paraguay I expect a much better game even though Paraguay is a much better team than Venezuela, Paraguay will certainly go for the win FTW, this will give more space for the magic quartet.
