Det giver jo ingen mening, når jeg netop siger, at TRODS Scolaris noget specielle selektionsproces, er det ubegribeligt. Ikke overraskende, fordi han jo har overset ham gang på gang siden Confederations Cup.


Men hvis man kender Scolaris selektionsproes er det netop ikke ubegribeligt.....

Og nej, Filipe var ikke dårlig i de tre kampe, og nej, man kan endvidere ikke vurdere en spiller på 142 minutter. Desuden er han kun blevet endnu bedre siden.

Scolari har haft rigeligt tid til at vurdere Filipe Luis under eksempelvis Confed Cup og fundet ham for let. At han (Filipe Luis) er blevet endnu bedre siden for Atletico Madrid er ganske underordnet jvf selektionsprocessen. Havde klubform været et afgørende parameter for Scolari havde Coutinho også været i truppen og Oscar ude af samme.

Yeps lad os slutte den her vi kommer ikke længere - og lige over :-)

Cavenaghi volvió a trabajar diferenciado

BUENOS AIRES -- A River se le acerca un partido fundamental en la lucha por el título y, por segundo día consecutivo, Fernando Cavenaghi no trabajó junto al grupo durante el entrenamiento matutino.

El delantero, autor de dos goles en el partido del pasado domingo ante Racing, padece una inflamación en el pie derecho y realizó trabajos diferenciado trotando alrededor del campo de juego, con el objetivo de ser preservado y que no corra riesgo su presencia desde el inicio ante Argentinos Juniors..

Mientras tanto, la mayor parte de plantel realizó trabajos de fútbol en espacios reducidos y, de los mismos, participaron los colombianos Teófilo Gutiérrez y Éder Álvarez Balanta, ya recuperados de las lesiones que los mantuvieron al margen en los últimos dos partidos.

Si bien Ramón Díaz todavía no dio indicios sobre el equipo, los once probables serían: Leandro Chichizola; Gabriel Mercado, Germán Pezzella, Eder Alvarez Balanta, Leonel Vangioni; Carlos Carbonero, Cristian Ledesma, Matías Kranevitter; Manuel Lanzini; Fernando Cavenaghi y Teófilo Gutiérrez.

Cabe recordar que no podrán jugar ante el "Bicho" Jonatan Maidana y Ariel Rojas, ya que deberán cumplir una fecha de suspensión.

River visitará a Argentinos Juniors desde las 21:30 hs. del domingo y con el arbitraje de Mauro Vigliano. El "Millonario" buscará ganar como visitante por segunda vez en el campeonato ya que sólo pudo vencer a Boca, en la 10ma fecha.

Eder Álvarez Balanta: "Argentinos no va a regalar nada"

BUENOS AIRES -- El defensor colombiano Eder Alvarez Balanta advirtió el miércoles que Argentinos no le "va a regalar nada" a River pese a que ya descendió y remarcó que el partido del domingo "será complicado al igual que todos".

"En el fútbol nunca se sabe qué resultados se pueden dar. Hay que trabajar", respondió Balanta cuando le comentaron que Argentinos difícilmente le hará demasiada fuerza a River al estar ya descendido.

En la misma dirección, avisó: "Sabemos que no será un partido fácil. Argentinos no va a regalar nada, va a ser un partido complicado al igual que todos".

Ramón Díaz tiene pensado poner a Balanta como titular en lugar de Ramiro Funes Mori, al estar recuperado del desgarro que lo dejó afuera de los últimos dos partidos.

Sin embargo, el colombiano dijo a radio La Red que antes se tiene que realizar "unos estudios" para tener la certeza de que el desgarro "se curó bien".

Sobre la campaña que tiene a River como puntero junto a Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata a dos fechas del cierre del torneo Final, comentó que "la figura es el equipo" y dijo que "todos están en un buen momento".

River: ven difícil retener a Carbonero; optimismo por Chichizola

BUENOS AIRES -- La dirigencia de River Plate tiene la intención de retener al mediocampista colombiano Carlos Carbonero y al arquero Leandro Chichizola, cuyos vínculos culminan al final de la temporada, confiaron el miércoles fuentes de la entidad.

Carbonero, uno de los goleadores del equipo dirigido por Ramón Díaz con seis tantos, llegó al club en julio del año pasado a préstamo y, aunque la dirigencia trabaja para retenerlo, el grupo empresario que lo maneja lo ubicaría en el fútbol europeo.

Desde su llegada, el oriundo de Bogotá, ex-Arsenal y Estudiantes de La Plata, disputó 32 partidos del torneo local y convirtió siete goles.

Por otro lado, la cúpula dirigencial es más optimista en cuanto a la continuidad del arquero Leandro Chichizola, quien se convirtió en el héroe del equipo por sus grandes actuaciones desde que le tocó reemplazar por lesión a Marcelo Barovero.

En los próximos días habrá una reunión con el representante del santafesino y allí ya se podría llegar a un acuerdo para extender el vínculo que también finalizará el 30 de junio.

No surprises in Brazil´s World Cup squad
-Posted by Tim Vickery

Scolari´s squad has little in the way of controversy.
There has seldom been a Brazil World Cup call-up surrounded with less controversy.

Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari found his team and its identity during last year´s Confederations Cup. The starting line-up -- at least when the team meet up for training before the tournament -- remains unchanged: Julio Cesar in goal; a back four of Daniel Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz and Marcelo; Luiz Gustavo and Paulinho in the centre of midfield and a line of Hulk, Oscar and Neymar behind centre-forward Fred.

In recent friendlies many of the substitutes and variations have also become clear: Jefferson as reserve goalkeeper, Maicon and Maxwell as reserve full-backs, Dante as a left-footed option at centre-back, the Chelsea pair of Ramires and Willian in midfield along with Hernanes and Fernandinho, Bernard on the wing and Jo as the backup centre-forward.

There was, therefore, little space for surprises. The likes of Kaka and Philippe Coutinho never had much of a chance; for them to get in at the last minute, someone who has served Scolari well would have to be left out.

Where might "Big Phil" have lost some sleep over defining his list? Opting for the third goalkeeper is hardly the most daunting task a World Cup coach has to face, and though there was a Rio lobby for Fluminense´s Diego Cavalieri, Victor of Atletico Mineiro was a predictable choice.

Rafinha certainly had a chance at right-back after his impressive recall two months ago against South Africa -- he also has youth on his side -- but Maicon has been given the nod.

There was some speculation that Scolari might not take a reserve left-back in order to have more attacking options, especially when Alves played a few minutes in the position against South Africa. But it always looked like a risky strategy, especially with the tendency of first choice Marcelo to pick up yellow cards. Logic has prevailed and Maxwell has been named, beating out a late challenge from Atletico Madrid´s Filipe Luis of Atletico Madrid -- whose teammate Miranda may well have come closer to winning a place.

Logic prevailed in the end given Marcelo´s disciplinary issues as PSG left-back Maxwell was called in to deputise.

Scolari admitted that the toughest decision was over the position of fourth centre-back. There were a number of strong candidates. Miranda had not appeared since playing a few minutes as a substitute in Scolari´s first game against England at Wembley in February 2013, but his recent form must surely have made him worthy of consideration -- along with the strapping Dede of Cruzeiro and young Marquinhos of Paris Saint-Germain.

Instead, though, the race went to Henrique of Napoli, a player who has worked with Scolari at the club level and who can also slot in as a defensive midfielder, meaning there was no need to call up Lucas Leiva of Liverpool as a backup for Luiz Gustavo.

The player most disappointed at being left out might be Robinho. The Milan striker was recalled towards the end of last year, and the experiment of using him in the "false nine" role was a success -- he scored a headed winner against Chile. In the past, Scolari has expressed concern at the lack of experience in his squad -- only six of his squad have been to previous World Cups -- and Robinho offers plenty of that as well as attacking versatility.

"It was really good to bring Robinho into the squad," said Scolari afterwards. But he could not bring himself to leave out little winger Bernard, whose ability to operate on both flanks will ensure that he is an important option off the bench.

In the news conference after the squad had been announced, Scolari commented on how the atmosphere was much easier than in 2002, the last time he had to name a Brazil World Cup squad. Twelve years ago there was a huge campaign in favour of veteran striker Romario and the coach had to keep a low profile. This time, the atmosphere is so smooth that Scolari could spend the morning walking unmolested along the seafront. But he is well aware that anything less than triumph on July 13 will make things much more turbulent for him.

So it is a case of one step at a time for Scolari. Asked who will be the most difficult opponents in the World Cup, Brazil´s coach had no doubts: the next one, which is Croatia in the opening game on June 12. But he trusts that his 23 are good enough to overcome that challenge and all the others on the way to win their sixth World Cup.

Jeg er spændt på hvilket hold FF17 vælger i Brasilien.

Jeg var også noget overrasket over den brasilienske klub, men det giver jo meget god mening at han har udtaget de spillere han kender. Så kan man kritisere ham efter slutrunden, hvis den bliver skuffende for Brasilien, men inden er det ret svært at gøre. I forhold til det vi "normale" mennesker kender, så er det alligevel nogle ret store navne han ikke har taget med. Det kan måske også være for at få et homogent hold. Det er ikke altid de største stjerne passer godt sammen.

Palmeiras contrata Bernardo, ex Vasco

O jogador que estava no Vasco, é o mais novo reforço do Palmeiras, Bernardo, é esperado hoje na Academia de Futebol para a assinatura do contrato e a realização de exames médicos, sendo aprovado, o empréstimo irá até o final do ano.
A diretoria do Palmeiras ainda está em busca de novos reforços, o nome da vez é do atacante Argentino Lucas Prato, que está no Vélez Sarsfield, o jogador inclusive disse que aceitaria um possível contrato de produtividade.

Palmeiras låner Vasco´s Bernando til året ud. De har desuden kig på Lucas Prato fra Velez Sarsfield

Hahahahaha.. jeg kan slet ikke forstå, at deportivo kaldte mig latinoens dr. phil :D jeg hiver lige FF17 i den pædagogiske stol i morgen. JEg er rimelig sikker på, at han skal sunde sig efter Diego Alves ikek er i truppen.
