Ian, there are two SPL players in the tournament. Laryea Kingston of Hearts will be representing Ghana. Does this mean you’ll have divided loyalties between Ghana and Guinea?

Doni’s definitely erratic, Shazback, but I dare say those goals weren’t exactly all down to him.

Doni might not be the best argument in favour of goalkeeping brilliance… Not many goalkeepers concede 7 goals in one game, and even fewer do it in the quarter-finals of the Champions League…

No worries, Ian! Also with Dida, the Brazilian 1 and 2 (Julio Cesar and Doni) both play in Italy, so my perception of the quality of Brazilian keepers is probably really slanted (or maybe accurate, I’m not sure which).

Martha, I’d love to have a discussion about it on the show. I don’t mean to be too negative on them – my main point was that the brilliance of Brazilian players at the outfield positions seems a little less at the keeper position. It may very well come down to my relative ignorance of the domestic Brazilian game, or to the superstardom of some Brazilian outfield players. And yeah, mostly I think we were kidding around a bit about Dida, who I’m not fond of. To me, Brazil is still the ultimate producer of world soccer talent worldwide, bar none, but if anyone wants to specifically stand up for Brazilian keepers, come on the show.

Because Julio Cesar couldn’t make it, I’d like to register his disagreement with your negative view of Brazilian keepers. (:
