How the hell did Coutinho not get in when the likes of that Jo who played for Everton and Paulinho did? Oscar has been shyte this season too and apparently that Bernard has done nothing either and he's playing in an average league.
Coutinho's face obviously doesn't fit for some reason.
There are some players who tend to do well for their country despite not being too spectacular for their clubs. Such players are Jo and Bernard. Also, Jo and Fred are Brazil's only strikers so it's understandable why they were picked. Paulinho has been an integral part of Brazil's midfield for years and he wasn't so bad at Spurs either, he was just a bit unlucky that he was injured for a good part of the season. Also, I think that we're overrating Coutinho here a bit. He's had some great games for us but he's been way too inconsistent. I agree that Oscar hasn't been a lot better than him but he's got more experience and more caps so he gets the nod.
Over rating Coutinho a bit? I think your the one over rating the likes of Jo, Bernard and Oscar.
At least Coutinho produces flashes of genuine brilliance, the others haven't got that in them.
I'm not impressed with Brazils squad at all, the likes of Cesar, Fernandinho, Ramirez, Paulinho, Luiz, Hulk, Willian etc are decent players but certainly nothing special, good job they've got home advantage, they'll need it.
