nice to see the roids getting eduardo's career back on track

ikr

there is the obvious comparison with marcos senna but he was such a spanish sort of a player, a clever, precise metronomic player from a country that just wants to field reprobate plebs like felipe melo or drones like lucas in defensive midfield

brazil's forward line is so terrible too and doesn't look like improving, there's no way he wouldn't get picked there eventually

brazil are still trying to call him up again

the 'friendly internationals don't count' rule is so stupid, any of brazil's players who have begun playing for them in the four years prior to the world cup can change affiliations so long as they didn't play during the copa america

Atletico Madrid's Brazil-born forward Diego Costa has signed a letter underlining his wish to play for adopted country Spain, ending a tug-of-war between the two powerhouses over the in-form 25-year-old.

Clouds of Sils Maria
By Diego Costa
September 1, 2014

Olivier Assayas opens Clouds of Sils Maria with nothing short of a master class on how to shoot a scene inside a moving train. The camera and cutting follow an organic and prophetic rhythm, at once condensing and announcing the film's themes and metaphorical fixations. There's something treacherous about this train, a sense that the sturdy tracks on which it travels conceal its true aim: chaos.
