Igor Thiago (4 Viewers)

[Beelated]

All these warmup games are played with the emphasis on the players not getting injured. Once the tournament starts the teams, including Brazil, will need strikers who will have to command a presence on the pitch and cause problems for the opponent both skilfully and physically and I think it is here where Ancelloti will decide which particular players to use. As already mentioned, the tactics used will require a variety of the players’ different attributes which will invariably get changed as the tournament progresses.

Seeing a Brentford player playing for Brazil at a World Cup is awesome in itself, but to see that player scoring at the tournament will be a delight.

Did Thiago make it in time to be selected for the Panini World Cup sticker collection?!

No

 

[Chomp]

No

Thanking you.

No Thiago, no party for me, Clive.

 

[BuzzBeeSi]

He wasn't in the Topps Premier League album this season either. Poor bloke! Meanwhile there were 3 different Gustavo Nunes cards.

 

[Denway]

Tipped at 50/1 for the Golden Boot in the Racing Post World Cup supplement, today.

 

[Leedsbee]

The man

 

[BuzzBeeSi]

The man

I should have specified Topps cards. Good to see he made it on to the stickers! And probably Chrome and all the other myriad product lines they flog.

 

[Max collins]

He starts!!!

 

[mundee4england]

Starts for Brazil in a World Cup! What a time to be alive!

 

[badgerbee]

Will have to stay up/stay awake and watch it now!!!
At least until he gets substituted!!!

 

[Alex]

Vamos!

 

[Untouchable]

A Brentford player. Leading the attack for Brazil. At the World Cup.

Wow. Just wow.

Thoughts and prayers with Tim Vickery at this difficult time.

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

We already have the alarm set for Scotland, now I have to watch this one as well!

Will never believe another word of Tim Vickery, btw.

 

[twickersbee]

it’s the Brazil fans turns to sing

‘Just like watching Brentford’

Good luck Igor, really breathe and live the experience, what an opportunity.

 

[Guildford Bee]

Just unbelievable. So pleased for him.

 

[cheshirebee]

Good Luck big man.
What a journey you’ve had so far. So proud BFC has been such a part of it.

 

[Catbee]

It's just mad...

 

[Rob-BEE]

Was hoping he might get on as sub, but starting...oh yes please! Even my wife who knows s*d all about football is impressed.

 

[Tudor bee]

I can’t believe it! f***!!! Mental times

 

[LongLostBee]

Dammit…
This old b*stard has been yawning for the past 2 hours of the Qatar game and trying to stay awake.
Said to myself I’ll only struggle on to watch the Brazil game if Thiago starts.
Guess I better go get a coffee…

 

[BaildonBee]

30 minute hat-trick and subbed at half time please so I can go to bed. Vamos.

20 minute power nap, set an alarm and you'll be as right as rain.

DREAMLAND FOR THIAGO AND US

 

[Beelated]

Do the Brazilian crowd know his song? Will be listening out for it.

 

[brentford born & bred]

I am on the way back from a football reunion in London. If those c*nts SWR were on schedule I would be home in time for ko. Currently might just catch start of 2nd half.

 

[ABEEE]

Raphinha - Barcelona
Igor Thiago - Brentford
Vinicius JR - Real Madrid

No thats not my Dream Brentford front 3, that's Brazil's starting front 3 in their world cup opener.

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

I’m actually lost for words…
Fan bloody Tastic!

 

[Boston Bee]

If you told me even 10 years ago…

 

[Irsky]

He starts!!!

'We're just a bus stop in Hounslow'

 

[Jay Bee]

Raphinha - Barcelona
Igor Thiago - Brentford
Vinicius JR - Real Madrid

No thats not my Dream Brentford front 3, that's Brazil's starting front 3 in their world cup opener.

I was just going to say the same thing. What crazy times we live in.
I'm visiting a friend in Ireland this weekend - largely to enjoy the world cup - settling down to watch this one with one of my dodgy website Brazil shirts on, with Thiago on the back. Come on Igor!

 

[Frenchbee]

I have rarely been as proud of our club as I am this evening. Unbelievable.

 

[BaildonBee]

Get on iPlayer now. All about Thiago

 

[Bumbling fool]

There are no words

 

[Sofasteve]

Avoid the score and watch from the beginning on Iplayer?

 

[aslan]

If you told me even 10 years ago…

Still would've struggled 10 months ago, nevermind 10 years!

 

[shaun]

Absolutely amazing.

'We're just a bus stop in Hounslow'

“We’re just a busy stop in Rio de Janeiro”

RTE run through the line up and give Keith Andrews the obligatory mention in the same breath as Igor. Just as you'd expect

 

[shepperton bee]

Stan Webb , Murray Jones , Neil Shipperley just some of the pantheon of superstars that Igor Thiago has to live up to . Can he step into such huge boots ? We’re about to find out , good luck Igor !!!

No thats not my Dream Brentford front 3, that's Brazil's starting front 3 in their world cup opener.

I called it a couple.of months ago!

 

[Bee(h)Iver]

BBC have Tim Vickery on right now. Sure he’ll find an excuse to put down our man…

 

[Fat Bee Slim]

Let's just take a moment to let this sink in. Brazil's striker for a World Cup game - the most important position for the most successful and celebrated country in the world, playing in the biggest competition - is a Brentford player!

 

[IkastBee]

Come on Thiago!

 

[BURFORD BEE]

Let's just take a moment to let this sink in. Brazil's striker for a World Cup game - the most important position for the most successful and celebrated country in the world, playing in the biggest competition - is a Brentford player!

That is it in a nutshell. It's absolutely beyond belief!

 

[Banana]

 

[SCARFER]

I’ve had a few drinks today but this is probably the most surreal New Brentford moment. Everyone at the club should be very proud

 

[Untouchable]

Almost time to do business…

 

[To Bee Someone]

Incredible stuff. And couldn't happen to a nicer fella

 

[marvelous007]

Just unbelievable. So pleased for him.

I wish i had a fiver on him being top scorer now. Wonder what the odds are.
