The Brazilian fans are pishing their frillies every time Brazil get a touch in the final third. It's like watching Soccer Aid when Olly Murs touches the ball.

Hah entertaining it may be... but the refs performances in many of the Brazil matches have been woeful.
Well, its been more entertaining than Argentina vs Netherlands for sure. I don't think this game is going to penalties.

I think the opposite - it's a good thing for the World Cup as it's evidence that not everything connected to the competition set up is a fix.
Anyway, if the finals were in Germany or Argentina and the home team were being hammered by, let's say Brazil, I doubt we'd be
- no it would be cause for much
Could have done without the director deciding to show us someone getting staples in their head. Does he know he's doing a WC game not a gangster movie?

I have sadly come to expect that in world cup matches involving host nations; the standard was set for South Korea, compared to which, the officials have been immaculate.

He does that a lot. I see him in the opposition half and he just jogs back leaving his defence in trouble.
That England squad that played in SoccerAid this year could challenge this Brazil squad.

"Hey you Guys !!!!!!"
Did look like he was tripped, and after showing us the clip several times it was a trip up. The wall are very figgedty, and a pity no goal, as the chance was there!
0-2 at half time would be some sort of redemption for Brazil. Not entirely sure the crowd will see it like that
