alot of United fans complain that LVG will be at the world cup this summer and that`d be not so good should he be appointed as United manager,....actually that could be a very good thing,cos he`d be able to spot new talent first hand especially players from south america,and sign them up after the world cup,i dont think its all about Reus,Kroos,Fabregas etc i think there will be undiscovered talent at the world cup, Ronaldihno would be the perfect example,he wasnt really known until he set the 2002 world cup on fire,then everybody wanted him so dont take this as a bad news

He was good at the World Cup. He also set up Rivaldo'a goal.
Ronaldo was quite obviously the man in that team, but Dinho and Rivaldo were good foils for him.
Either way, I don't think it's that relevant. Scouting is far more advanced than it was back then and had Dinho been playing in Ligue 1 today, for example, he have a far bigger rep than he did then.
I mean we, as fans, can readily watch the Brazilian league and know who the up and coming stars are. So the likelihood that an unknown gem can make it to an international tournament and go unnoticed by all the top clubs and scouts seem pretty slim to me.

I think he will spend more time preparing his team rather than going to other teams games, especially as games are spread out over big distances.
As for Ronaldinho being unknown in 2002

Not sure he can do much "scouting" if hes in the tournament with holland. I'm sure he'll be focusing on his own team!

As Holland coach he comes up against Vidal, Kroos, Reus, Hummels and Jedinak.
Just saying!

Ahhh, a bunch of players who have gone under the radar. He will definitely get a head start on other bosses by being Dutch boss....

That was the point I was making. What's the point of people saying he should be scouting players when these very obvious names play his team?!

Jesus really would have wept, if he knew you were the kind of person he was saving.
