July 24, 2006

SouthAmerica: Today they announced in Brazil who is going to be the new coach of the Brazilian national soccer team - the new coach is Dunga.

Dunga was the captain of the Brazilian team that won the 1994 world cup in the United States.

He has no experience as a coach - this is his first job as a coach.


**********

Parreira the Brazilian coach during the 2006 world cup has resigned and he will be the coach of the South African team in the 2010 world cup.

Woohoo!?

I wonder who will take over the USA job, haven't heard anything about it yet, but hope to get the coach from Germany, as I believe he can bring new ideas to our team and bring some of that European excellence to our game.


BTW, isn't it now time for World Cup 2010 thread? hehe

 

Kalifornia Klinesman kommt ins 2010

Rennick Aus!!

 

Carlos Dunga, great Brazilian midfielder:

Klinsmann, yes. It's not impossible, since he's living in California, but as far as I know he doesn't like the pressure. Most of it, though, came because he was training the team while living in California.
Yes, he did a great job with the german team. I was very impressed

Good idea. I would first start one for Euro 2008. And when is the Copa America? 2009?

 

100 greatest ever footballers , lol , what a joke

I even don't know where to start...missing from the list :
Yashin , Garrincha , Rivelino , Vava , Zairzinio , Socrates , Uve Zeeler , Bobby Moore , Koeman , Cantona , Milla, Kempes , G. Best and few others..maybe Blochin , Cubillas , Banks , Conti and Lato

 

.
Yes, I forgot to put Vava, and Jairzinho on my revised list - and today the best soccer player in the world probably it is Kaka.

.

 

.

I just remember of 2 more Brazilian players who should be in that list - Gerson, and Falcao.
