It must be an ITV policy to pronounce his name in an English way for an English audience.

Oh these two have been told, they just stubbornly refuse to use the correct pronunciation.

Brazil are trying to win using rough house tactics : 14 fouls already and they should have had two yellows at least.

I still don't think they're that great. They hassle and bother the opposition and use the crowds energy to make sure the opposition aren't playing.

Its effective and it works, but as a football side, they're not much better than a mid table premiership team. Their defence looks crap to.

It's actually quite ugly in fact. They're trying to bully and harass Colombia out of the game rather than playing any football.

Brazil's two goals from Chile and now Colombia were both crap goals off the thigh from a corner that came from a flick on. Its so unbrazilian like!

That free kick should have been retaken.”


No, the ref is Spanish.

Tbh, nearly all teams have looked fairly average. Even Germany don't look as good as they were in 2010.

The only team who has looked great this WC is Colombia. Yet they don't look good enough against Brazil. Funny how football works, eh?

Its not his sort of game though. He needs to be in a side that actually wants to knock it about and play football.

Yes, it's not far off that : Scolari obviously doesn't care if they win ugly and play no football.

Colombia have been knocked off their stride by all the fouls and have responded by fouling back. It's a rather ugly game.

To be fair, that's a sentiment he shares with a lot of national and club managers these days.

Football like a lot of sports requires a lot of strong will and mentality. The teams who want it more and who are stronger mentally will win, not necessarily the style of play.

That's why in tennis when players get to the 'business end of the set' the top 4 always seem to find a way of winning the set, even when they're playing badly (most of the time).

Germany were very much like that against France.

The ref needs to be stronger, he has allowed Brazil to kick he Columbia players off the ball
