Olympic Games in London

Brazil should be preparing now they should make sure that may be before 2012 ends they finish top or in the top 3 of the world ranking. Mano should pick up a strong squad train them to represent the selecao we have very good players who are capable of winning trophies i would say even a "world cup" we have the likes of neymar, ganso, lucas m, l. Damiao, oscar. With the likes of d alves, thiago silver who just won the samba gold trophy, marcelo, and many more fantastic players. I dream brazil winning this competition

i really believe brazil needs a new coach cause mano hasn't impress me not with his style necessarily but with the players he has selected cause it doesn't matter what style a coach players if he do not have the right set of players he won't be successful.for example mano said he wants to play attractive football but yet still he selects remires as an attacking midfielder and expect the team to play beautiful foot i know this is off topic but i just have to get this in another thing he doesn't seem to realize is that to win football matches especially against bought opposition like germany,spain and a full strength argentina brazil have to win the midfield and playing players like lucas leiva and remires brazil ain't going to win no 50/50 battles especially with lucas leiva he just isn't strong enough to win the battles in the middle of the field compared to a felipe melo who helped brazil tremendously through world cup qualifying replacing the same lucas leiva. other players who i think should be employed in this position is fernando who plays for porto and even fernandinho.another problem is at left back and i am sorry but none of the left backs mano has selected can't defend.they are brilliant attacking but they lack commitment and speed when defending, to me they never seem to be hurrying back with speed to defend.as for the olympics i just hope mano gives the young players a chance to prove themselves especially those caused brazil to reached their and not bring old players like kaka and ronaldinho who has failed before.

Probably mano is not making any impress in the selecao he is having good player young and talented. But lets judge him after the olympics, lets give a chance in the olympics games. If he did not make any impact then, he gonna get sacked and look for another coach capable of holding the job.

[real]

I don't have to wait for the olympics to know is coach is a waste of time and he has no idea what he is doing,it only took me the copa America for me to see that he has no idea of what he is doing,by the players he selected and then he runs away from playing friendlies against top teams after being embarrassed by Germany and after that match he said Germany is more advanced than brazil.not only that if you listen to him speak about the olympics he said brazil can pick up a medal a the olympics not gold but a medal,i mean give me a break a country like brazil which produces the most talented footballers in the world isn't talking about gold and talking nonsense like Germany is more advanced.I bashed dunga but Mano is even worst.

I'm going to a few of the games at Old Trafford in Manchester, i'm hoping Brazil will be one of the teams i see as it's the main reason i bought tickets.

[christopheratkins]

I have tickets for Wembley and Cardiff, hoping for Team GB and Brazil to come up...

Hey campeao. Felope Merda is not a campeao! except for the Dutch perhaps.

Holy cow did you forget?


Yes give Mano six months.

Ive watched every friendly and I am not impressed. However, i have yet to see the true Brasilian side. Every friendly is a composition of different players. It is good to give every one a try, but soon it will be time to get down to bussiness. Remember the world rankings really mean nothing ( go look how it is calculated). Mano is experimenting.

Also remember that the Olympic team can only have one player over 23, so it will not represent the WC team. Correct me if I am wrong about that.

I Mano doesnt prove himsel soon, send him to pasture in the sertao.

The Olympics start next thursday for Brazil against Egypt.
Tonight, Brazil vs Great-Britain in a friendly match.

What is your pronostic for this game??

[jim]

Thought Brazil would have won by more, but it was only a warm up game i suppose.

Some tough competition in the tournament, but you'd probably expect Brazil or Spain to win.

Is it possible they could meet in the final?

Rafael Cabral out is a bit of a blow.
