Fred could play one of the goons who gets massacred in The Princess Bride. Typical generic old-school Latin-American villain's henchman.

Ok.. scoring many crucial game breaking goals at the World Cup which is the biggest football tournament and where the greats are measured is "underwhelming" :houllier:
No, their overall play and performance is what's been underwhelming. A few flashes of decisiveness alone don't compare with what Robben, James Rodríguez, Benzema etc. have shown so far.

Cameroon to score one more, come on. Brazil going out in the group stages would just be too funny.

Is there anyway in which Brazil could get knocked out and the other 2 go through?

Prob wouldn't be able to finish this tournament if Brazil flopped in group stages.

It seems people use the "performance" argument when it suits.

Watch both Messi and Ronaldo for Barca and Madrid, they very rarely dominate games with performances but they are getting universally praised for their goal scoring records and hyped up as 2 of the best players ever.

Surely with all the talent in Brazil they can find someone better than Fred.

Yes, pretty easily, actually. If Brazil lose this one and the other game ends in a draw, Brazil are out (Croatia will have a superior goal difference in that event).

Not watching this game but Neymar was a bit wank the first two games I thought. A daisy cutter that Pletikosa should've easily saved and a penalty (that wasn't). Didn't do much vs Mexico. Tried lots of pointless flicks and tricks in both games. I guess it's not his fault the players around him are gash.

Oscar has put in much better performances IMO.

Apparently the goal tonight was decent though.
