I forgot to check my team after the official list of players and now I have like more than the half of my team not called on the final list. With only one transfer per round my flop is clear. Also I don't think the free transfers for quarter-finals, semi-finals e final are enough to fix my team.
Venezuela is being very surprising. Until now winning from México. But probably México will try to be more offensive on this second half eventually nobody wants to face Argentina (probable adversary of second place of this group).
Italy did really very well. And it was good surprise considering this was being called the "worst Italy of history" since the last WC. But it's a pity Belgium has such a great squad but can't play equivalent. Though Courtois saved Belgium from a worse defeat.
That final chance Brazil missed with Elias was really ridiculous. It doesn't justify the situation as the results without the ref mistake was our. But ok, Brazil probably wouldn't take long to be eliminated anyway.
Curious to see how Alisson will do at Roma. He will have to effort to bench Szczensny but expect he at least get enough chances to it. It would be very nice to see him evoluting at Europe and finally have again a praiseworthy brazilian goalkeeper to admire.
The match was head to head. Brazil tried hard to get the goal until the end but Peru blocked us very well despite not attacking. We didn't play that better than Peru to say they didn't deserve the classification but it being with a hand goal (the ref was so bad) feels so unfair 'cause the tie...
7th round
Internacional 3x1 América-MG
Five initial minutes of game and Inter was already with two goals of advantage. As much as it seemed to be easy and full of goals for them after that moment América grow a lot and brought many difficulties. But Inter kept this important win that puts them...
Brazil is really a mess with Dunga but it will be a good fight since with the partial results of Ecuador and Haiti until now the classification bomb is coming fully to this match. I think things are more favorable to Brazil on the moment but Brazil also has a big talent to disappoint so...
By now no surprises with Ecuador and Haiti. That makes Brazil and Peru game even more decisive since a win is crucial to one classify along Ecuador but a tie, depending of amount of goals to Peru since Brazil is very comfortable in terms of GD in case of a tie, can totally change and put both...
Germany team is fruit of a lot of planning and very well structured and this could be seen today: big accuracy on the plays and passes, good individual standings (even Schweinsteiger with few time did it), great organization and team mesh came from an equally great basis. Ukraine did not bad but...
Paraguay certainly isn't in a good phase. And USA did well even with one man less. Also surprisingly with Costa Rica victory USA finished first on the group. If Costa Rica have played like this since the beginning of Copa América...
Messi is brilliant. The maestro of this beautiful Argentina win.
Surely a win like this isn't to boast same as Brazil against Haiti. But Argentina otherwise has armory enough to play like this against the stronger ones. Tata Martino just have to put all their potential in practice.
What a man is Payet. Beautiful goal such as a good performance.
I like this French team and think they match well and can do even better. Also having the support of the home stans is always a great incentive. For the other side Romania exceeded my expectatives.
Someone went/going to see The Conjuring 2?
Confess, unpopularly, I'm not a big fan of the first one but would like to catch this one on the movies as people are saying it's scarier than its previous. And how I enjoy horror with nuns.
Despite everything liked to see how Haiti didn't give up until the last minute. For Brazil this score is an incentive but still there a lot of stuff to be improved and I hope a victory against Haiti doesn't blind them to the difficulties that still exist. But it was nice to see another talents...
