[Toppa]

You mean to tell me Ronaldinho eh better than some of the men on the bench who not gonna see any sweat in the whole tournament?

Big STEUPS

I kept hoping that NKorea woulda poison them in the last minute

On one hand yuh want Ronaldinho, on the other yuh hoping that the anti-football wins... Yuh eh see allyuh confused.

A combination play beyween Ramires, Kaka and Maicon. Confederations Cup versus the US. Versus Chile in qualifying he had an attempt on goal that was from an even more acute angle. Kpr couldn't hold it, and Nilmar converted it.

me eh no what does wrong with dem nah, football romanticism is one ah d reason we football where it is, if it eh look good in yuh eye it eh good regardless of d result


u have a cohesive unit dat doing d simple tings an doin it well , ronny mighta get shut down dead same way, football is ah team sport, dunga thought dat ronny added very little to his TEAM,the result is what matters 1982 gone, story done.......get over it already

[PantherX]

North Korea played without fear today, defensive yes but they weren't afraid to take on the Brazilian defenders when presented with the opportunity.  If Cote D'Ivoire and Portugal hoping to boost their goal difference against this side they have another thing coming.

Speaking of defensive play after watching Portugal today I expect they will do much the same against Brazil.

To me Brazil played a good game that was not short on entertainment value.   They have a tendency to look like labourers when facing a parked bus (as in today), because they don't have alot of creative players to unlock the door. That said they were patient, kept the ball moving well, and they worked some good combinations.  My biggest disappointment was the lack of speed on attack in the first half...there were a few times when they had room ahead of them and they didn't exploit it with the speed that I would have hoped for.  If it's one thing that Brazil usually does well is attack with speed when given room-today that was missing in the first half.   

Kaka wasn't very good today, but he's been struggling for a while to me, and Luis Fabiano couldn't find a rhythm.  Other than that I'd say Brazil looked good...and there were some really good passages of play from them.  The defensive lapse on the goal is something they will kick themselves for, but other than that, I'd say very good for an opening match.

Anything less than 5 is unacceptable.

Ah see Jah Gol offline...he hiding???

Like I  said , Unacceptable.

Nah man give credit where credit is due. N.Korea was ok,deh fight

DPKR only have 3 men playing outside of their country. They're not the strongest , quickest or most technically skilled and they still score on Brazil. Nah unacceptable.

The Cup like it really start today, real passion flow on the field.

[elan]

What a shyte team. That team eh going no where except back to Rio.

Come on Ze Germans!!!!

[Toppa]

Kicker you'se a real Kaka hater boy.

To be fair, a technically competent player scored v Brasil.

[Jah Gol]

Maicon could possibly distinguish himself as the most influential fullback ever by the end of this tournament. He is THE man dred.

Just callin' it as I see it...

On one hand yuh want Ronaldinho, on the other yuh hoping that the anti-football wins... Yuh eh see allyuh confused. 

No confusion at all. I wanna see this sh*t brand punished. Like i've said in numerous posts before, there's nothing that distinguishes this Brazil team from any other solid team. Daz not what I expect or want from Brazil.

The real tragedy is that they are actually capable of playing champagne football. I like Ronaldinho because no matter what, he eh adjusting his game and he bringin d "ginga".

Observations:
-Robinho showed some flashes and played with a lot of heart, but he is still just a fart in my opinion.
-Kaka needs to go back to Madrid and rehab.
-I dunno where this side would be without Lucio and Maicon.

I agree wid you on dis one dread.

[Spursy]

Well well well.. I am impressed on both scales. Been Brazil has it's disadvantages, if there is such a thing as a football god some of these big teams might be in trouble over-burdened with high pressure for success on the world biggest stage. Brazil this time was no different and showed that there is no easy teams at this world cup as we saw before.

Maicon is playing better than the forwards still carrying over some of the magic that won inter the famous treble and show exactly why Jose, Madrid and company is eager to carry his signature. The star scored probably the best goal of the tournament getting behind DPR fast backline with even time and power to trick one of the best Asian keepers around.

Elano underlined Dunga inclusion of the central holding midfielder by yet another strong performance including his precision from set pieces mainly corners and a man who can also score goals. Many critics blasted Dunga for Elano but now they are silent in awe.

In Dunga Brazil has confirmed it's best chance of lifting a 6th world cup, both teams didnt play thier best today however the samba boys showed they can handle the pressure thus far.  After watching N.kORea play, they might qualify from this group.

Btw guys.. Bastos is jus waiting to be exploited wait till Brazil meet a big team.

[willi]

Elano not very good.

[JDB]

F Dunga and F dis Brazil side.

Big STEUPS

yuh really think taking Dinho as a sub is a good idea. Is one month yuh have to handle all these players and only 7 games. It make no sense to take a plyer who have discipline issues if yuh don't plan to play him

[soccerman]

Superb ball dey. 2-0.



Dis Dear Leader does give some interesting suggestions. Look at de training methods.

Maybe that's why the #9 was crying, perhaps they did that drill for warm-ups.

[Deeks]

The only difference between Brazil and France is the yellows scored. Contrary to what people say, Brazil was playing at full speed. The were spreading the ball wide, especially to Maicon, not so much Bastos. Brazil tried going thru the center but the Koreans set they curtain real tight. They played just like Uraguay, just like TTvs Sweden and England in 06. The Koreans are technically proficient. They knew their limitations and were CERTAILY NOT AFRAID of the Brazilians.Their main striker was very emotinal and was crying while the anthem was playing. And he did play well. I can identitfy with him. This may be his one and only. They score a goal on Brazil. They one better that TT and Oz. We don't know which teams will show up for Portugal and IC. But 2 of the 4 will be going home. Pull up all yuh chair and enjoy the football.

Maicon!!!!!!! MOM!!!!!!!!

Cyar remember when last I saw anyone do that.

[Observer]

NK played with a backline of 5 then 4 in midfield then 1 all behind the center circle.
 all 11 players behind the ball, with the backline sitting top of the box. I eh know
what people expect from Brazil in a situation like that. First half NK basically had 7 players
who seldom cross the half, when they were on the attack.
As a matter of fact I felt Brazil forced the play down the right way too often and did not vary their attack. Anyway eventually they broke down the block of 11 and only through a mental lapse allowed
NK to score when Danny alves just let the midfielder run past him ad he watch like
he buy a ticket for the match.
Brazil created some good chances but, failed on several occassions to hit the target.
Robinho, Fabiano and Kaka all guilty.
If NK play the same way versus Portugal and or Ivory Coast we will see how they approach it.
Very difficult game and a team can easily get frustrated, give up a bad goal and then yuh ass dark.

[richpy]

A real get-out-of-jail card for Brazil and Inter

[Dumplingdinho]

North Korea played within their means and was extremely organized in defence which is the only approach for a team of their stature.  Brazil definitely did not look dominating like Germany but Australia is an old team that tried to attack plus they played with 10 men in the second half.  This still does not take away from the fact that Germany looked the best so far.

Back to Brazil.  They demonstrated patience which is something they will have to do on a regular basis to win games.  Kaka is still struggling and this affects their creativity because Elano is not the creative type but he gets the job done using the Dunga style.  I still belive Ronaldinho should be in the squad but Dunga has proved that he can win with workhorses such as Elano and Ramires.

The goal scored by North Korea was soft and was Lucio's fault....he wanted to play forward in the last 10 minutes and could not get back in defence in time.....good wake up call for him....as a realistic Brazil fan, I expected a 2-0 scoreline that was almost achieved.....not a great performance by them but a decent one with room for improvement.

...especially Robinho, who, I felt, was really forcing to do a tad bit too much at times......he made some bad passes and tried to take on men in wrong places.....but still had a very good game.   

 

    If NK play the same way versus Portugal and or Ivory Coast we will see how they approach it.
Very difficult game and a team can easily get frustrated, give up a bad goal and then yuh ass dark.

  This group still is so very difficult to call because ANYTHING can happen in the other games.  Brazil could very well draw it's remaining games.......If cronaldo get another generous, blind, biased, incompetent referee (just when you thought the officiating was going so good in this WC, here comes an idiot to ruin everything) like he did today, anything could jump off against N. Korea and/or Brazil.  Ivory coast looked very good today, I find, and they just might be able to do something against N. Korea and who knows what their inspiration may do for them against Brazil.

yes, but that goal in the confed cup took a deflection off a us defender sliding in for a last ditch tackle and it wasn't anywhere close to the byline
