Scolari: Chelsea wuz Robbed - The Sun 01/12/08

SCOLARI HIZ A PRAT! Yes, OK, your eminence of a coach, Van Persie was offside and everybody knows that! While no true football fan should wish the sight of an error like Mike Dean's on any team, the real problem here, for a Chelsea fan in particular is... Is this guy Scolari up to the job? Of course not! Soon after taking over the Portuguese national team it became clear to any discerning observer that the man did not have a clue about improving or managing a football team. Only the gentle and simple, but highly ignorant folk in Portugal (not every one, thankfully!) kept applauding the man and his failures. First he loses the €uro2004 on home soil - losing twice to the same "average" team and eventual winners - Greece. The qualification for €uro2008 was another disaster with Scolari hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons (notoriously hitting, too, the serbian Dragutinovic at the end of a qualifying match...). Whenever asked by the english press about the recent "hiccups" of his Chelsea team, the man always tries to hide behind some pathetic gestures or not-so-funny quips pretending to hide some unfathomed confidence or guile that he simply does not possess. This guy Scolari never deceived me. He is basically an uncultured buffoon not able to understand that his "mystic" and "charisma" will soon be revealed and his cover blown out of these shores... all the way to the pampas in Rio Grande do Sul, where no doubt he will become a "genius" football manager again.
