enjoying seeing someone losing can't really be called celebrating, but I must admit seeing Real and Inter lose made me smile
Capello's making awful tactical errors. Anyone who knows the first thing about football knows that Cassano-Raul-Beckham isn't going to work. What kind of fucked up team did Capello send out there? And keeping Robinho on the bench? I see Capello still doesn't like genuine creativity.

Robinho - Genuine creativity ? Oh please the guy creates nothing, over rated show pony weakling that produces next too nothing...

A few tricks and people think hes wonderful... Absolutely shite player... Cant cross, his pass completion rate is incredibly poor, poor scoring rate, poor assist rate, loses the ball continuously and pushed off the ball at will... A weedy ibrahimovich at best

That's quite simply not true. Robinho in fact creates lots of chances. Or do you believe it was coincidental that Robinho was dangerous every time he got 10 minutes in the WC?

Well see it how you like, but look at his opta stats for the last few years and you will see that for a player of his position his passing rate is abysmal, his lost balls figures are poor, his assist rate is poor, his scoring rate is poor, his cross completion is poor etc etc... and of course hes an absolute weakling...

As for being dangerous when he got 10mins in the world cup.. well so he should be, any player with pace and a lil bit of skill should be dangerous when entering late on when the opposition is knackered... its the perfect circumstances for him to shine... Jus like lennon who was also dangerous when he came on for 10mins but in reality has no more talent than a burger bun...

Yeah, I don't see anything in Robinho either but people believe he's something special.

But I would take that overrated punk over David Beckham anyday.
Well of course you would as you hate him... personally i wouldnt, whether you like him or not, the fact is becks has been in the top 10 and mostly the top 5 assisters in europe for everyone of the last 10 years... as such whatever we all think of him as a player... The guy produces like few others have...

Oh let me guess... refer to the opta stats again.

Too bad that's all Beckham ever does is send the ball on freekicks and crosses and usually finds a player. Other than that he's completely useless and his international career rightfully hangs in the balance as we speak. If it was me Beckham would have taken a seat a long time ago and I'm sure it could not have hurt your situation in Germany.

Then take all the Beckham performances I have seen over the past year for Madrid and he's been utterly useless barring one match. Add a player such as Joaquin to Madrid's right wing and you automatically introduce more speed and danger to your right flank. That's what Madrid has been missing these years... certainly not well-placed freekicks during a Beckham absence due to injury or suspension.

Watched him tonight... once again utterly useless.

    Gourcuff and Oliviera = half the purchase price of Vieira who gets sent off the first CL and reminds Inter they are the ultimate Perdenti...

    hope this last though I still have my doubts about this squad...
