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.

Game, set and match for Phil - The Sun - 29/07/08

Tennis may be a good alternative for this flambloyant
charlatan called Scolari. He may not be a very good football
coach (you'll soon find out), but he knows his priorities.
When he became Portugal coach the first thing he did was to
promote his "friendship" with the most devious and
chamelion-like human being in portuguese football: the
President of the Portuguese Federation. At the same time he
loved to be seen as a loveable "daddy and pal"... but ONLY
towards the most famous players. He did for example take
full advantage of Ronaldo's sad loss of his father to get
even closer to the most famous player of them all, which I
suppose would later "entitle" him to advise Ronaldo to go to
R. Madrid! Now we know why! But this masquerade was all
for his own benefit, with more and more lucrative
advertising endorsements, while the national squad
stagnated and showed no improvements and was only kept
competitive thanks to the above-average qualities of some
of its players. Whatever... we will soon be able to separate
the reality from the fantasy and the real Scolari will stand
out... like a sore thumb!. - Joe Tooga

Premier League - Scolari: We'll win quadruple (YAHOO - 28/07/08)

If recent history is anything to go by, this man is a buffoon!
He has won nothing for Portugal in 5 years. Despite having
good players at his disposal and playing at "home", he
managed to lose to Greece twice in the €uro2004 in
Portugal, and lose the Championship in the process. Another
example of his "qualities" was Portugal's disastrous
qualifying campaign for €uro 2008! Portugal only just
managed to qualify by the scruff of the neck against very,
very mediocre opposition. His football tactics are laughable
and his substitutions ridiculous. His interviews are
masterpieces of buffoonery and ignorance. When he does not
know how to explain his pathetic errors... he simply plays
the "phylosophical" clown. Of course... with the players he
has, a place in the top three is guaranteed!!! JOE TOOGA

Chelsea Launch Mega Kaka Bid - Goal.com 20/07/08

This guy Scolari is a real uncultured buffoon! The only
reason he accepted the Chelsea job is that he knew that he
would have "any" money to surround himself with the top
players in the world... except Ronaldo... a "green" young boy
whom he persuaded to move away from the Premier League
with a move to R. Madrid! As always, the British press are
lapping up any gesture, wink or hand movement from this
guy as a major statement or prediction. Listen to me! This
guy is a phoney. He made a mess of portuguese football in
the last 5 years. Portugal struggled to qualify from a pool of
mediocre european nations! He lost the Euro 2004, playing
at home! Even with all the talent in the world this guy will
flop like a circus WALRUS!!! Mark my words. All be revealed
around Christmas time!!! - Joe Tooga
