In the aftermath of the game against Spain a lot has been said and written on Queiroz and his choices. His choices when selecting the team for South Africa but most of all his choices before and during the eight-final game against Spain. Some believe he should be replaced. The name Scolari often pops up in comments. Either to compare or ask for his return. Names for the job are already heating discussion.
I understand the frustration with Carlos Queiroz. I think he could have done better. Today everybody is a coach. Everybody is saying they wouldn’t have replaced Almeida. Everybody is saying they wouldn’t have played Costa as right-back. Nobody has any praise for him now. He could have taken the team to the final playing the way they played and lose and still be the sole one to blame for us not leaving South Africa crowned world-champions. Nothing satisfies the crowd. Nothing.
What bugs me now the most is he seems unwilling to accept any responsibility for the game’s outcome. He refuses to admit perhaps he did fuck-up his initial 23-men draw. He took 2 right-backs to South Africa and ended up improvising a 3rd? At least he’d have to admit his choices were screwed up to start with.
Now that it's over I had so much fun watching the games with my best friends and partying it up like we do luso-americano style :) here are some pics re-living 2010 World Cup from NEWARK, NJ <3
