Go Fabiano.

 

come on germany!

 

Alves mishitting a cross, now that's something I've never seen before.

 

Go Brazil!!

To hell with great stories, I want to see the best teams go at it!

 

Sarcasm?

 

Uhu.


OT: This Chili side is so good on the counter, and they're playing with so much heart. I am curious to see how they'll fare vs. Brazil.

 

How predictable a set piece was necessary to give this boring Brazilian side an edge and now they are likely to take the win

 

My feed started buffering on both goals!!

 

I'd like to see Chile beat Brazil, it would be really interesting to see Chile vs. Netherlands.

 

After the first goal Chile's tactics were suicidal. No composure from their players what so ever.

 

Chile's coach was crazy to think he could just take the game to Brasil with their poorly executed all out attacking style (which so far has only resulted in 3 goals in the competition).

 

awesome to watch obviously translates into a brazilian side that has no clue for 30 minutes how to break the defense and on top of that they had plenty of mistakes (bad passes etc). Just rewatch the first 30 minutes and start counting the stupid long balls brazil played in order to open their game

 

they weren't all out attacking but they had to change their game plan after being down 1:0 with this set piece

 

see my edit about all the stuppid long balls from the brazilians they had a very nice collection of these in the german ht analysis. And besides result oriented football is not awesome to watch that is what my post is about. I won't be surprised to see Brazil going out of the tournament if there is team that manages to score on them first

 

I agree with this. Brasil looks clueless when trying to break down an opponent's defense. If they are up against a top side and concede first, it will be all over for them. I think the Netherlands will defeat them in the next round.

 

LOL at how bad Chile is. So so bad.

 

Dunga was one of my favorite Brazilian players growing up, he and Leonardo.

This Brazil side is certainly not flashy but they sure are effective, very good defense and Holland will have a lot of trouble with them.

 

The entire left side of Brasil's defense is a big weakness. I expect Robben to run riot against them.

Did you see the attrocious play by Chile's entire team on that stroll down the middle by Ramires? I especially liked the CB who dove head first at his feet to make a tackle.

 

game was over after the 1:0 because Chile's tactical concept was beaten much like yesterday with Mexico

 

agreed, it was suicide doing what they did... sad, but yet entertaining
