Empty seats , more empty seats , that’s what I wanna see. (Not that I’m watching any of this shite anyway.)

I wonder if Neymar staying “late” like that is why he is so well thought of in Brazil. I think his career has been a massive disappointment compared to the hype he still gets to this day but in Brazil they absolutely love him. I’m guessing the fact he stayed a bit longer makes him feel more lile he is “theirs” then the other national team players.

I think that is a huge part of it, cemented by coming back to finish his career at Santos. He also avoided most of the taint of that 7-1 humiliation, with many Brazil fans insisting it would have been completely different if Neymar was able to play. There is a real national mythology around him, but in a very real way I think he is quite emblematic of the real problems around the Brazilian game now that make them far less likely to go deep in the World Cup than a generation ago.

With Davies out and Larin on the bench, Im pretty sure David is the only Canadian player I know.

I believe Alistair Johnston plays for Celtic.

Right on cue

Well, I don’t really want to derail this thread.

Weird stadium design on the right side as I’m viewing it. Kind of unfinished roof on it.
