Match 45: Portugal x Brazil, in-game PBP thread

This should be a good game to watch!

 

The songstress Teena Marie has a song called Portuguese Love from back in the funky years. Well, today it's not going to be love. I'm hoping to see a freaking jiu-jitsu bout, both teams going at it, negating each other, and like jiu-jitsu, one slip up gives away a goal.

 

who will be brazil playmaker?

 

2 terrible passes by Alves

 

By the way, what's Elano's injury status?

 

From the other match:

[result]Goalless in the 10th. CIV with 3 shots on target and 70% possession. Quoth the ESPN Match Tracker: "It certainly has been a bright start for Ivory Coast and you feel they could overwhelm North Korea if they are so inclined. They certainly need to."[/result]

 

baptista is invisible

 

I expect Robinho to come in at half if this continues. Vai Brasil!!

 

From the other match:

[result]1-0 CIV, Toure with a goal in the 14th minute. One down, 8 or so to go [/result]

 

Alves always tries to pass airball. No real idea for attack in Brasil

 

From the other match:

[result]2-0 CIV, Romaric with a goal in the 20th minute. Two down, 7 or so to go assuming Portugal loses [/result]

 

Juan's yellow card was obvious. Dissent for Duda?

 

it would be one on one Ronaldo vs Ceasar

 

That's a bit optimistic, but I can't say that I blame them.

 

weird seeing Alves play LB since I am so used to see him play RB for Barca

is he as effective as LB normally ?

 

Didn't he grab the ref's shoulder? I think that's why he got the yellow.

Juan is very lucky that was not red. Ronaldo was going to be alone on goal if he didn't handle the ball.

 

good dive

 

Cleaning up the game. Archundia books Tiago. Good on ya, guey.

 

Not good enough if it winds up in the book.
