Hello!!

My name is José Otávio, I'm a brasilian collector.
I'm very happy with another option to make changes. Thanks to Gary Stephens who introduce me.
Like I saw in other messages, sorry for my english. I do my best, but certainly some mistakes will hapen.
About me:
I collect stickers and cards around the world. I like specially leagues sets, stickers and cards. I have a lot of material to change specially from Brasil, Italy and Spain, but also from other countries.
With time I'll try to describe all I have and all I want, but every message is welcome. TO make friends is the most important.
Finishing, I'm 35 years old, sports journalist, single but have girlfriend, no kids. I already know some people here, like Gary Stephens, who introduce me, Greg from Germain, Pregra from Norway, Josemini from Spain and probably more people, because the collection's world is not so big.
SO, enough talking, let's swap. I'll be glad to receive your messages.
Regards from Brasil!
José

Hello!
Rock ann Roll is not my preference, I allways prefer to hear SAMBA.
But there is some bands I enjoy once in a while, like Capital Inicial, Legiăo Urbana, Detonautas/Raimundos.
Sepultura is too heavy for me.

Welcome to the forum :653 . What team do you support?
Hi, Andy!
Thanks, buddy.
Well, I'm a sports jounalist. So, I don't support any team.
But I live in Porto Alegre, city where live 2 world champions teams: Gręmio (1983, against SV Hamburger) and Internacional (2006, against FC Barcelona). Let's say I like both...and also Săo José, a fourth division team.
Cheers! :worship

Jose,
brilliant job!! I guess you have to stay impartial though being a journalist.
I run a couple of newsagents at the moment so am lucky enough to get first choice of the starter packs when Panini issue them which is the only advantage although I get to read all the papers and the articles written by you journalists for free!!!
Many thanks to Gremio as we lost to Hamburger SV in the European cup final of 1983 1-0. Glad to see Gremio beat them in the World final
Although we have won the world final twice beating Independiente and River Plate 1985 and 1996 although they were both Argentinian.
I live in Norwich and also follow them to a lesser extent although they are only a small championship team. They are doing quite well at the moment though :653 Most of my family originate from Torino though and Juve is my first love although we are going through some very rough times at the moment :(
Selling Diego could prove to be a massive mistake, what do you guys in Brazil make of him?

Hello, Andy!
Yes, Juventus had great teams during his history. I remember the 80ths, Platini, Boniek, Rossi...the first WC, in 1985, I think it was against Argentinos Juniors, wasn't? Anyway, brillian team. But after the problems they had (bribery, played second division), never again be as before. I hope they back like in the 80ths, "LA Vecchia Signora"!
Diego is a good player, but I don't think he played so well in Juventus. He was better on Germany. Let's see what happen now.
About me, I work more on radio and television, don't write too much.

you are right it was Juniors, my memories going!!! :doh I remember it was high scoring game though!! :653
Yes that was my first memories of the team with Rossi, Boniek, Platini, Scirea, Cabrini and Zoff. Now that was a magnificient side. I remember them beating Liverpool in the european Super Cup in 1984 when liverpool were European champions and they barely got an attack against us!! Probably the best player ive seen live though is Zidane.
How things have changed now though!!
We were very hard done by on the allegations recently though being relegated while AC Milan who were caught of the same thing (arranging referees to ref games) won the champions league!! Admittedly Moggi was guilty of enforcing top referees to ref our games but you can hardly imagine the games in question - Bologna at home being one needed to be fixed in anyway when we had about 8 players in the World Cup final of 2006!!!
Unfortunately Serie A is very corrupt and they did not like that we were dominating the league. At least the authorities have now admitted their mistakes and handed the titles back although it is believed we lost around 60million by being unjustly persecuted. I think we are trying for compensation in the courts, especially after Inter have now been caught and no actions have been taken against them!!

Hello!
Yes, that was really weird. Only Juventus was hardly punished.
I hope the corrupts going to jail and stays there. But innocent people no. Italian calcio is allways confuse about that. I remember in 1982 Rossi was suspended and wouldn't play WC on Spain. But they "suspended suspension", he did play and the histpry we already know...

That is a very good point as Paolo Rossi was guilty but I think he served his ban just before the World Cup although Im unsure on that fact. If I remember rightly it was a shock he was included in the squad at the time.
Luckily he was playing though, I think that was probably the greatest match of all time I remember running home from school to watch it!!
What a Brazil side that was as well Eder,Junior, Socrates, Zico, Falcao amazing team. Please dont begrudge us that win thats probably the only time Italia have beaten Brazil in the finals. I guess you would say the 1970 WC final when Brazil won 4-1 against a tired Italia was the best though??!!
We are 6 world cups to 4 behind the mighty Brazil though!! :1356
We dont have many good young players coming through either, I know all about Pato but how good is this Neymar?
That brazil 1982 team has to be the greatest team not to win the world cup?

I bet you dont like Felipe Melo either!!! It seems like we are stuck with him!! :doh

I'll get back to you on the trade shortly, need to have a look what I already have in my collection but Im sure we'll be able to do a very good trade. :worship

Yes, I think you are right: That brazil 1982 team has to be the greatest team not to win the world cup. They talk about the 1950 team, but that was a long time ago, the game was different.
I believe we have the same age, because I was at school either in 1982!! I'm 36 years old, borned in 1974.
I think Neymar is a great player. He looks like Robinho. But not that Robinho, the Robinho who played for Santos between 2002-2005 (when he was good). But I like more GANSO, he also played in Santos with Neymar. Unfortunally Ganso got hurt and only will play again next year.
You're right: I don't like Felipe Mello. He played here, in Gremio, in 2004. Terrible...I never understood what Dunga saw in Felipe Mello to justify his presence in the national team. But...sometimes we just don't understans a coach's head...
I wait your message for the trade!!!

Jose,
that is amazing, we are the same age!! :cheers :653
I think we have similar views also as I also like Robinho as a player even when he was at Man City although not a lot of people in the UK like him. I dont think his skilfull football was suited to the English game of pushing and shoving with long ball unfortunately. (dont like him now as he has joined AC milan!!) I fear he will do well at Milan :014
Must admit I had heard nothing of Ganso, he sounds even better than Neymar. just had a little search on internet and found this:
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/389015-paulo-henrique-ganso-simply-the-best-midfileder-in-the-world

How much do you think Santos would sell him for? I expect he will be another to go for a huge transfer fee? Brazil by the sounds of it look really good for 2014.

Hello!
Yes, We have the same vision about foot-ball in many angles. You hit, that's Ganso. Hes style is like Zidane. I hope he recovers fully and return the same as he was before getting hurt.
I don't know how much Santos will ask for him. Chelsea has offered 30 millions for Neymar and Santos didn't accept. But for Ganso I didn't heard any offer by now.
I hope they stay here more time, but thats not likely...
And about WC 2014, it depends on the coach. I think Mano Menezes is good, much better than Dunga. But untill 2014 we have Copa America, Federation cup...let's see if He stays in his job untill 2014...

I didn't understand Dunga. It is true that against the best teams these days you might need a defensive midfielder but Dunga was TOO defensive. We didn't see any of the attacking flair that we are so used to seeing from Brazil, it was like they played with shackles. I think in 2014 with the World Cup being in Brazil that either Brazil or Argentina will win.

Of course I can't complain about defending midfielders too much, England play a holding midfielder against Algeria and Slovenia. You could probably play without a goalkeeper against them but we have half the team defending! I HATE holding midfielders, they ruin football.

I like Neymar. He looks a good player. I also like that he didn't go to Chelsea because he didn't want to be a substitute. I think Ramires will do awful at Chelsea because he will never play.

Yes, the problem with Dunga is the same with all the brasilian coaches: they think they know everything and only they know, nobody else does. So, if the coach is good...great. If is not...terrible. Well, Dunga is not good. He could have selected Neymar, Ganso, Hernanes, André Santos, Victor...but prefered Grafite, Julio Baptista, Josué, Felipe Mello, Gilberto Silva, Michel Bastos, Doni...that was not very clever. Now we have an excelent coach, Mano Menezes. In my opinion, is the best since Scolari. So, I think we have good chances in 2014, because I think He'll choose the right players.
But to say now who is going to win is hard. Let's get Germany as an example: if for some reazon Muller and Ozil couldn't play, thats another Germany. The same is Spain without Iniesta or Villa. So we have to see how all the teams arrive to Brasil and then we canmake our bets!

I cant see Germany doing anything in South America I think their chance will be better in 2012 european championships probably, I think the only nation able to challenge Brazil on their home turf would probably be Argentina, but Brazil should still be disappointed if they dont win it being at home. Although it is 4 years away and we are all just speculating :shrug

Spains Iniesta and Villa etc will all be over 30 by then I would guess, although Busquets and torres etc may have taken over by then, who knows...!!

Don't forget Holand. They have a good team too.
About Argentina, that's funny. I expected more from argentinian last WC. Of course they didn't have a coach, but even like that I thought they could play better. Messi can't repeat in his national team what he makes in Barcelona, I don't understand why. But that's real.

It happens with too many players. They get played out of position or their international players aren't as good as their club players. It has been happening with England for a long time. Everybody plays the best players and not the best team. When Rooney is used to getting the delivery from Giggs, Scholes and Valencia at Man Utd he has to receive rubbish from Walcott for England.

It is why Spain does so well. Most of their players all play for Barcelona so everybody knows eachother and it just works brilliantly for them.

Jose, why on earth does anybody play Julio Baptista? Every time I see him he plays average. Same with Lucas. They are like Heskey and Glen Johnson for England. They just seem to stick around even though they are not good enough.

I agree with you with Heskey and Glen Johnson, they stick around like a bad smell, but I was wondering if Brazil have found the answers to their recent Goal keeper problems?

Heskey an international player was ridiculus totally agree with you Gary along with the whole nation apart from Capello!!!
Bit harsh on Walcott though playing for england as his potential is there for all to see. Hes about one of the few players along with Rodwell who could be the real deal in the future. I would more worry about donkeys like Gareth Barry, Jagielka etc who are not up to the task of playing for the country.

Spain have done well recently as they have a good crop of players who all play for Barca as you say although as you mention Giggs (wales), scholes (international retired) and Valencia (columbia) are all not english/not available unfortunately for England. English clubs cannot rely on english players at the moment as there is not enough good enough to play champions league level which is why Man utd buy foreigners with all there vast wealth. That being said Rooney's goalscoring record at international level is still superb so I cant really understand your point on that one?
I think England are just missing a truly world class player ever since Gazza retired. We have no problem beating the patsies in qualifiers but when it comes to the main tournament thats a totally different story...

Glen Johnson isnt that bad either is her? who would you play right back instead of him?

Julio Cesar is apparently the 2nd best keeper in the world on official rankings so I dont think Brazil have any problems there?!! He is a European Champion last season so his record speaks for itself!!
