Brazil v Côte d'Ivoire

[Observer]

Player Power. It seems it's rampant now. So the players pull their cord and end up in a situation of "be careful you get what you wish for!"

[kicker]

I actually agree with Omar and, to an extent, Elan.

Brazil was just as responsible for the chippiness at the end. Kaka get penalized becuase the ref didn't see the actual contact but it could have happened to any of the CIV players when the Brazilians went down with minimal contact.

Also this Brazil team isn't anti-football but it is about waiting for the other team to lapse more thanreally going at teams. At the time of the 1st goal CIV was making most of the running and the goal was against the run of play. As per this Brazil that open them up more and Brazil take control. CIV was not that defensive they start with three strikers and was probing. To their credit because if they had come with 10 men behind the ball his game woulda been a 0-0 because this Brazil struggles in those situations for obvious reasons, i.e. the desire to play Melo and Gilberto.

Disagree.  CIV had everyone behind the ball for large parts of the 1st half, which is what made the game so static in the beginning, because as you say Brazil doesn't have their usual creative punch going forward.  The goal was barely against the run of play because there was no definite run of play.  Brazil made the first attacking forays in the game, and CIV had just started to come into their own before Brazil scored.  Neither g-keeper was really tested before Brazil scored first.  Brazil had some shots off target, and CIV had a cross and a long range effor that went straight to JC....

Doh study Omar...He just vex Italy needed a bogus penalty to get a point from the New Zealand match...

Under all the ole talk, after all is said and done, Ivory Coast eh do nuttin' tuh win the match- they were timid, unadventurous, and very disappointing.  Brazil was clearly the superior of the two teams in pure footballing terms... All 3 of Brazil's goals were quality- Luis Fabiano get away with some dodgy ball control but neither ball to hand contact was easy to spot (especially not the first)...and if yuh that wicked tuh begrudge a man a double cap and slap volley over marginal hand ball contact which in live play was pretty impossible to spot, then you are just a hater....

If it was Kaka yuh wouldna be saying that though. 

[slates]

Men criticizing Brazil because they not playin de way they want to see them play. Meanwhile, they have 2 wins and comfortably moving on to the next rounds.

How many times in the past, yuh see Brazil come to the world cup to entertain and get their ass sent home early. Dunga objective it to get # 6. And so far, he is on course to do that.

Sure up your defense, hold them out, and put away the chances when they come. I guarantee every team in this tournament has that as their mission. Not go out and entertain men thousande of mile away in their living room. And so far, nobody eh doing that better than this Brazil team.

Eh... even New Zealand on board with that. LOL

Never! When has Brazil ever failed to get out the first rounds? you have to go back to 1990 to find Brazil eliminated in the round of 16 and that was the most un-entertaining Brazil side in History.

And as unentertaining as that side was, they ran rings around Argentina in the round of 16 match, hit the woodwork 3 times, and eventually fell to one moment of brilliance from Maradona.

Kicker yuh missing the point. Check the thread I am addressing. I will agree with you on the fact, that they got knocked out on the best game the played in that tournament

[Jah Gol]

Brazil showed that they are the best team in the tournament and can still entertain.

Thank you JDB, I was being a little to strong with my words. You summed it there. 

[Marcos]

This thread is real tears.

On the real it was a decent game which could have been better had CIV attacked with the purpose and flair that they are capable of.

They were timid but hear d ting, Sven, Beenie and dese coaches know what they doing. Brazil coulda score 5 if CIV attacked with reckless abandon. See wha happen to NK today? These big sides doh make joke on the counter against a stretched defense.

D game start to get extra wild after Brazil try to gallery and do a set a prettiness and fan. Dem Africans wasn't takin dat. Even Harkes (I think it was him) say it was a good tackle when Robinho was tryin to gallery by the line and get jam...HARD. Yuh cyah try to embarass ppl so.

Dis Brazil side lookin good...for about 4 from Portugal and CR7.

Sad ting is Brazil might actually look better without Kaka. Would have been a nice game to experiment with Dinho

[kicker]

LOL.

Every Brazil game I watch, I hoping for Dinho tuh just somehow appear off the bench...

I think they will play to a friendly draw... 

From what I understand, Brazil & Portugal have a kinda friend friend vibe between them...
