Dear England,

Thank you for Luke Rogers.

Ummmm... Who? Guess not all the MLS' foreign contingent are washed-up has-beens looking for more money!
This only applies to one player in MLS today. And maybe one other (Djorkaeff) in MLS' history.

Yeah, Argentina is stacked up front but they lack in midfield. Chile is good. I like Paraguay and Uruguay and Brazil is always fun to watch.

Awful is a very nice word. If people thought that Dunga's Brazil was bad.... Manolo has lost the plot completely. Paulo Henrique (Ganso) isn't read and neither is Neymar. If anything, Lucas right now would be a much better fit, but if anything, Manolo should have taken the best players rather than his favourites (Nilmar and Marcelo are two worst snubs).

I'm afraid Neymar is just an overrated piece of shit.

Just seen that UCD (crap irish team) beat Villareal 4-3. Admittedly took a Spanish own goal right at the end but that's like a pub team beating a championship side :D

quoted for truth, it means he agrees with you.

while friendlys arent a big deal its stil surprising that amateurs who have jobs as plummers,electricians etc can beat a la liga team whos players make more in a week than these guys do in a year.

I don't know about this whole "not trying" thing either. While I can get, say, Wayne Rooney not trying in a friendly because he has nothing to gain from it, but those reserves certainly want to leave an impression on the manager in a way that will get them the starting job (or at least a substitution role of some sort).

I think they are nit warmed up. the big team definitely take money for playing a friendly game.

Personally i think its like the FA Cup, if a team of amateurs play proffesional's, who don't take them seriously, and who have their minds elsewhere, every so often an upset is bound to happen.

And added to that, the lower ranked team will always be more up for the game, and will play without fear having nothing to lose.

The friendly games doesn't explain Brazil & Argentina not advancing
in the Copa Americas. It might just be the full moon.

I thought QFT meant quit fucking talking?

I can find many excuses for Brazil like bad luck. but sadly Argentina have been just rubbish for about 10 years.

Nah, that'd've made no sense at all in at least 80% of context.
Can we at least agree that Venezuela deserved a cup victory however unlikely! :D
