Tha's a funny thing. I heard the same thing about this David Luiz by a portuguese journalist whow as guest on a tv channell here in Brazil. The reaction from the brazilians was priceless: "who the f**k is David Luiz?"

I for one had never heard of him until you mentioned it. Goes to show you that there are tons of good players scattered trhough the globe and the coach sometimes can't watch them all.

And had he selected David Luiz the reaction from the press and fans would be unanimous: "what the f**k is he doing? Fire this SOB and get us a new coach".

He is a very very good defender with some offensive abilitys. He will become more well known when he gets bought by a more popular club. He quickly become a fan favorite over in Portugal. But yea that does go to show the wealth of talent Brasil has.

Thats also why some of them get Portuguese citizenships so they can play on a national squad lmao.

Hey Alex when does Mexico announce their team. Any thoughts on Blanco, man he looked terrible last couple of games...slow too slow. Not hating at all just an opinion. Even all my family die hard Mexico fans hate Blanco being on the squad.

Ya blanco has been shaky, dude gives up on balls sometimes. He can only play tops 45 min. I hope he makes the WC for leadership to our young guns. Mexico has 1 more friendly before they put out their 30 man roster but im not 100% sure.

G H A N AAAAHHHHHH
