I'm proud. To play like that against a team that won the World Cup 5 times, and had Ronaldinho, Alves, Neymar, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, is just remarkable.
Proud of the Performance I honestly thought they would slaughter us so was shocked how well we played compared to the portugal match.
Brazil is Brazil doe such a quality side with so much depth, we were poor in finishing our chances 'cause brazil left so much space for us on counter attacks. Shame the goal was in last min and an own goal but what can you do.
I read today brazil has nearly the same amount of registered footballers as Bosnia does people in there country so not bad lol
Agreed with cali. And that's why I'm really proud of our team. Even though many chances were wasted by inacurate passes and shots on goal (or not thereof), all in all it was a good performence.
Totaly agree with adnan, brazil is brazil. Great fun to watch them play, and both teams were lucky not to concede goals, so a tie would've been right, but hell, it's football and we once again lose it in the end.
As for individual performance, dzeko was good, but bad finishing. Spahic and pandza are beasts. And rahimic surprised me, just with how much energy and passion he went for the ball, as he's past his 30s. Chapeau. For papac, not the end of the world, still a great defender.
Would have helped if lulic never got injured for lazio but still a good performance. Dzeko needs to get his finishing back on check 'cause everything else he did was quality. They need to start bringing some youth doe to the team too.
Btw I think we got some of the best fans in football whenever Bosnias playing or wherever they are always there
Right, lulic is in top form. Too bad he didn't play. I hope susic brings some young talents, as we have three friendlies to go before WMqualifiers.
Regarding fans. Yeah, in fact I was there last night. Great atmosphere. Only thing that bugged me, was the whistling at other teams national anthem. Kind of disrespectful, especially in a friendly, but hell I explain it to myself due to the fact that football in generall attracts a large mass of idiots. I mean throwing a lighter at a player, just has nothing to do with sports, but then again i've seen way worse things coming from other fans. And fans are mostly the same
Tafarel was decent I don't think the best of him was seen 'cause brazil was soo good when he was playing the likes of cafu, rivaldo, romario, ronaldo took all the headlines lol
I honestly don't think that David Luiz is consistent enough to play CB. I think he would probably fit better as a DCM. Otherwise, this Brazil squad is young and full of talent. If they develop some solid chemistry before WC 2014, I'm probably gonna' pick them to win. Marcelo is bar far the best Left-back in the world (and is one of my favorite players ). He's fast, strong, and accurate. Overall, this team looks good, and Mano should definitely recall Robinho for the rest of their games and for WC 2014, same with Macion so Alves and he can rotate to add some depth to the RB position
Brazil has a very good paper team but none of their performances as of late can tell anyone that they are legitimate contenders for 2014.
They have a nice back line but their midfielders and forwards lack chemistry. The midfielders today came from leagues in Ukraine, Italy, England and Brazil; leagues known for vastly different styles of play. Damiao and Neymar were wingers for one minute, then strikers for the next minute. Aside from the back four, this team looks like an absolute mess.
I really think that a coaching change is needed for the team. At least when Dunga was around, Brazil was winning games convincingly against teams that they should beat convincingly. Bosnia has a good team but this is a game that Brazil should have won easily even without the 90th minute own goal.
Also, I would like to raise the fact that Hulk has never scored a goal for the national team and until he does so, I am not convinced that he is good enough for the Brazil squad. Also, Neymar would never survive a game against big a big European team like Germany because he flops like a fish and acts like he'll never walk again after every soft challenge.
I said the exact same thing to a friend about them looking great on paper, but when it comes to watching them, it is always a disappointment. Hopefully 2 years is enough to fix this
Good game can't wait till Bosnia vs Mexico on May 31, may be going to chicago to see this game snice I live in Iowa and its closee, me and my Bosnian friends can't wait
