Brazil V England

[HH81]

There should be few goals in this, going for 4-2 Brazil.

Just kicked off on ITV :aok:

[The Green Goblin]

I think you're right about the goals. Brazil have been very poor last few months. Home crowd might help them, but fans' patience with the manager is wearing very thin indeed. Must win for him, friendly or not!

[Onceinawhile]

Not a very good crowd, I would have thought that such a game (e.g. opening of an iconic stadium) would have sold out.

[JimBHibees]

anyone know how much the new maracana holds

[darwenhibby]

Sitting out here on my decking in tropical Darwen, enjoying the peace and quiet as all the numpties are around their telly's believing they are the best team in the world and thinking this is a dress rehearsal for the world cup final! Might go in and watch the bbc when it gets a lite chilli after sundown !

[Sir David Gray]

anyone know how much the new maracana holds

Just under 80,000.

[edinburghhibee]

[Andy74]

Why are they playing with a massive beach ball?

[Billy Whizz]

In watching USA v Germany on ESPN. 2-0 for the states so far

[down-the-slope]

Is this game on Scottish TV?

Nah - ITV london around 950 ish on sky

[YehButNoBut]

Germany also playing a friendly tonight against the USA, they were 2-0 down after 17 minutes, missing the Bayern players however.

Klosse playing and he's one goal away from equalling Muller's record for the Germans.

[JimBHibees]

Nah - ITV london around 950 ish on sky

973

No but you can watch it on the ITV Website - http://www.itv.com/sport/football/international-friendly/match/brazil-england-3599998/

Just put in an English postcode.

[down-the-slope]

Just under 80,000.

:agree: a bit smaller than the 200,000 the old one once held :shocked:

10062

[LancashireHibby]

Mate of mine has gone over, dream trip. Spent more of the game trying to spot his flag than watching the football.

Cheers guys

England are v v poor. Brazil look good on the ball and pass it around with great speed

You look at the stadium even now and it looks massive. How did they ever get 200,000 in there!?

[bod]

thread should be renamed brazil v joe hart

Interesting fact is that the hoardings are different in the actual stadium, with the English ones superimposed for TV.

Same way there was 149,000 in Hampden - bugger all safety and a very large upper tier (part of which collapsed in 1992 and led to reduction in capacity) unusual in such a bowl shape.

This rebuild is a real hotch potch and A-Typical of large infrastructure projects there - fraud / politics / poor organisation are par for the course

I'm watching it on 973, what Channel is ITV HD?

[YehButNoBut]

Crazy goal, the keeper obviously realised he could not pick it up but forgot he could kick it until too late.

Very un German like. :greengrin

[HH81]

England game is poor.

[Sir David Gray]

You need to retune your sky box to get ITV HD in Scotland.

[Sir David Gray]

4-1 usa.

:agree: CGI. bonkers.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

This is torture - how many times are they gonna murder the pronounciation of Maracaná?
they've got 12 months. And I imagine they're gonna pronounce Rio with an 'R' - amateurs! ;)

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Sorry if already mentioned - how crap is the England kit?

[Winston Ingram]

How pish is Walcott?

[Sir David Gray]

1-0 Brazil

[nonshinyfinish]

Lest I should make a tit of myself next summer... what's the correct pronunciation of Rio?

[nonshinyfinish]

Hulk has a good bit of junk in the trunk.

[Sir David Gray]

Now 4-3 to USA.

Into injury time.

[stokesmessiah]

Great goal BTW!

[Dunderhall]

Disappointed with the lack of talent on show tonight.
Not impressed with many players either.

[lapsedhibee]

Just put in an English postcode.

Supposing you'd made an honest mistake on a previous occasion and accidentally entered a Scottish postcode which your PC has remembered even though you've moved to Englandland now ... any idea how you would go about correcting your previous unfortunate mistake? :dunno: :wink:

'io apparently?

You're quite right about the fraud, politics and poor organisation. Thank goodness that sort of thing doesn't happen back home with large infrastructure projects such as, say, parliament buildings and trams and what not. :greengrin. A few colleagues of mine are at the game, so I'll see what they say about the stadium. Looks great on tv anyways.

[LancashireHibby]

Bloody hell that's a screamer.

[Sir David Gray]

2-1 England, Rooney.

[nonshinyfinish]

'io apparently?

I'm not taking any chances - anything that happens in 'io de Janeiro, I will refer to as being 'in the shadow of Christ the Redeemer'.

(Commentators jizzing themselves silly over a deflected shot from Rooney.)

[leither17]

fail to see that as a great goal took a huge deflection

[The Green Goblin]

'io apparently?

Hio (hee-o)

They pronounce "r"s and double "r"as "h"s. i find it a bit silly (personally) :greengrin

[nonshinyfinish]

Now that was​ a great strike.

I'm more concerned that my mate's flag appears to have disappeared!

[darwenhibby]

2-1 England, Rooney.

Should see it down here 50 million body's jump up 100 million faces !

While we're here, what's the right way to say Maracanã?

[LancashireHibby]

And that's just at Old Trafford!

[Scouse Hibee]

Good result for Brazil getting a draw against England.

[The Green Goblin]

I'd forgotten just how bad the ITV commentators were. Awful

[nonshinyfinish]

:tee hee:

[The Green Goblin]

While we're here, what's the right way to say Maracanã?

Just as it reads. No funny stuff required. Maybe a tiny, tiny bit longer on the "ã" at the end, but only so it's not pronounced with the wrong emphasis, e.g "MaraKANA".

[Stringer]

Chamberlain changed the game. Quality player.

[darwenhibby]

And that's just at Old Trafford!

Not many England fans down that way! Remember " that boy ronaldo......."

[Haymaker]

Brilliantly taken goals all round!

[LancashireHibby]

Not many England fans down that way! Remember " that boy ronaldo......."
Probably because there aren't many English!

[heretoday]

Good result and one in the eye for the English hacks who all sounded like they wanted their team to lose today. I suppose it's more fun for them if a new manager is appointed every time England get beaten. A better story.

Cheers.

That does leave one wondering, where did Chiles & co get their pronunciation from? You would expect commentators/pundits either to go for the 'obvious' ignorant Brit pronunciation, or to be accurately informed by a native speaker. Did they just make something up that sounded a bit more 'samba'? :confused:

The popular pronunciation by the commentators and media people seems to be "Mara-kinahh" whereas I would personally just say "Mara-cana" with no obvious emphasis on any part of the word. Not being Brazilian, I wouldn't know for certain what the correct way to say it would be.

Just my take on it.

Just the opposite if you have a look at the english papers. Theres a campaign to get rid of Hodgson being going on for months. Matt Dickinson in The Times has a column this morning desperate to give Woy no credit by banging on about Brazil being mediocre these days, which gave the impression of being written before last night and without having watched them play.

I thought Brazil were excellent last night and it will be the usual 'one of the big 5' (Germany Italy Spain Argentina or Brazil) in 2014.

[LancashireHibby]

Really? I thought they were really lacking ideas in the final third.

[JimBHibees]

Really? I thought they were really lacking ideas in the final third.

I agree Neymar is a show pony and Fred is bang average. England if they had used the ball better could have scored a couple more on the break. The present German team would have IMO hammered Brazil on the break last night.

[blackpoolhibs]

I watched last nights game with a couple of English lads, and both thought Brazil should have had the game sown up at Half time, but were upset they had not won it in the end.

Personally i thought it was a decent watch, but while the competition might well be in Brazil next year, i don't see Brazil winning it. Poor up front and a defence with more holes than a colander.

[hibsbollah]

Really? I thought they were really lacking ideas in the final third.

So i kept hearing :greengrin: Personally i think the reports of their decline are exaggerated.

[Haymaker]

Brazil really are missing that player who holds it all together. dont rate Hulk that high but they are struggling for striking talent nowadays Brazil. still I expect them to be Semi finals.
