Not much evidence of the beautiful game so far - this is more like a fight!

Why bust a gut when you don't need to? You don't see a sprinter flogging his bollocks off on a mountain stage just to entertain the crowd.
On the contrary. Brazillian teams have traditionally had very secure defences, just look back at their tounament record and see how few goals they concede.yello said:That's Brazil for you. Defence always seems a bit of an after thought for them. You've got to smile at how they ride their luck sometimes. I reckon they're just used to beach football and outscoring their opponents!
Surprised nobody has mentioned the sending off that wasn't. The one that the Portuguese fella was booked for complaining about/trying to get the sending off. I reckon Ronanldo was through on goal but for the hand ball - surely a sending off.
Poor match. I thought more of a stalemate than lack of effort. Though I don't like the diving antics, etc of the Portuguese team. They are better than that imo and don't need to sully their performances with it.
