Brazil v Croatia Matchthread

[THFCSPURS19]

i will when paulinho shows some talent and some desire for my club. as long as he keeps looking bang average, ducking out of the way of free kicks and pulling out of tackles then i will continue to point it out. at least after this people won't have the "but he plays for brazil" card to play as scolari will drop him if he has any sense.

I didn't see any players showing desire for our club last season.

Using your logic, they are all shit.

A lot richer tonight.

Introducing . . . REFERINHO!

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

I don't trust him, but to suggest he has the power to fix the World Cup is wrong imo.

Very early days but that's done my Argentina win/Neymar top scorer double at 66-1 no harm at all.

Very dodgy ref but that's what often happens with the host nation. We had it in 1966 after all.

I think Lambert is going to surprise some folk next season.

Lets be honest you dont actually wont Paulinho to succeed because it might prove you wrong. Really your just interested in proving a point that you know more football than the rest of us.

I said good luck to him not those whinging bastards.

Who is Fred. I saw someone in a yellow shirt who did nothing all game

Agree re Pauli. Love him but others are much better

A complete fruitloop with whom we were tenuously linked three-four years ago,

 

[Tom Pops]

I hope so. Good Luck to the guy.

To be honest I'd prefer the teams around us to do as badly as possible

Croatia boss Niko Kovac: "If that's how we start the World Cup, we'd better give it up now and go home.

"We talk about respect, that wasn't respect, Croatia didn't get any.

"If that's a penalty, we don't need to play football anymore. Let's play basketball instead, it's a shame."

The pressure must have got to the ref.

I once read something in the newspaper about when they used a heart rate monitor on the refs in big games. The results showed how high the heart rate of a ref went up when they turned down a penalty at Old Trafford under Ferguson.

Personally I don't see the media love-in for Neymar. For me he wasn't thaaaaat good tonight and personally think he is so selfish, so many times could've passed earlier than did or pass when he didn't but decided to see if can dribble his way past a player

well first and foremost i want spurs to succeed but we're not going to do that with average uncommitted players like paulinho. you may think you're a better fan than i am by supporting players like this but really you're just promoting averageness, he could get away with the cowardly side of his game if he were as talented as a bale/modric/vdv but he's not even jermaine jenas, let alone those three. if i'm proven right in the process then that's just a bonus but at the end of the day i want the best for tottenham and paulinho is not it, no matter how much you don't want to see it.
