Particularly interesting when their medical guys compare what is done in Brazil to what is done in Europe.

That's how to prepare really isn't it, at that level of football it's all down to small percentages so you can imagine the pay off.

Anyway, come on England's opposition.

About to read it now but I'll have a punt before I do..... following the impression that Bellefield had on the Brazilianns in 66, they have been over to Finch Farm and have decided on pre-hab before the world cup in s.a. ? and have also bought bellefield to take over to Rio on the back of a low-loader ?

I think Liverpool will be winning the league title on Neptune by the time I've read through that.

one to watch this summer those yellow and blues.

I'm a bit dubious about all this stuff. All the claims for getting x and y % more out of players with the latest fitness technique. If Algeria won the World Cup using it then it'd be a bit more impressive than the all conquering, supremely coached Brazil winning in 2002 in Japan/South Korea.

Oh the England team don't need such nonsense.

A few strong challenges early on 'let them know we're there' and then we can concentrate on not conceding and launching long balls for the strikers to feed off.

That's been the secret to England's success over the last 40 odd years.

Brazil will have an edge and physicality to them in the World Cup, if they can get the balance right between this and heir god given talent they have a huge chance.
