WC Group F: Brazil vs. Croatia [P + R]

[Titanic]

Croats lighting flares, interesting. What's the crazy fan doing, they won't show it on ESPN?

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

He ran on the pitch.

Gotta love Croatia's support right now.

 

[mika]

gay... it should of been a draw

 

[andy]

Again, none of the favorite teams to take the "cup" show anything special...

Croatia deserved the tie...

 

[King]

2nd Half was much more exciting as Croatia gave a good fight for an equalizer!!!!!

 

[panxoman]

croatia deserved more...

 

[Virgo]

prso is a useless bastard, if only Croatia had a decent finisher

 

[Callum]

Brazils defense is not good at all, and ronaldo is a discrace.

 

[ngyc]

bah, croatia is way better than brazil. i don't even see ronaldo until he get subsituted

 

[Lennon]

Robinho did more in his first minute on the pitch than Ronaldo did throughout the whole match

 

[MaSsiVe]

Croatia deserved so much more

Srna is a great player, I'm really impressed.
Babic had a very good match too, and when it comes to Brasil I can only speak about Kaká as his wonder goal decided the match.

Brasil were absolute sh't, considering the players they have and what they are capable of doing on the pitch for me this has to be the major disappointment of the tournament so far.
Ronaldo and Adriano can both go f'ck themselves, those cocky lazy sons of b'tches didn't even try....


kudos to Croatia, they may go far in this WC if they keep today's form

 

[pede54]

Well that won't frighten anyone thats for sure. Too many old farts in the Brazil team and too many overated nothings. 2 decent players and 9 passengers. Dross. They were bloody terrible. Good ref though. Well done Croatia you deserved more, shame you cant finish.

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

Croatia deserved more for their efforts...
But Brazil clearly playing to maintain the result... they didn't strive to score goals... only Robinho came to spark up the attack... Brazil did enough really... not a good performance by any means for a defending champion, but i guess Parreira gave them instructions not to risk in attack... anyway, they got the 3 points...

 

[Titanic]

Brazil wasn't that impressive. Just wish the Croats could have gotten a draw, anyone else think the Croatian keeper was a little far out in the box on Kaka's goal? Maybe he's supposed to be out there, but I don't see why he should be.

 

[Virgo]

Brazils defense is not good at all, and ronaldo is a discrace.

and Luisao is sitting on the bench

 

[Elber2k3]

What did Ronaldo do on the pitch? Was he worried about his weight?

 

[MaSsiVe]

yeah, he did his best not to drop a single pound.

 

[$teauA]

not to forget the Czechs.
tactically they were awesome

You're right but I'm trying to forget about that

------

Brazil were bad today. Other than a few individual chances there was no team play and they just didn't look like the Brazil we all know and love. On the contrary I really liked how Croatia played and they were unlucky to lose this game. I'm very confident that they will win the next two games and finish second in the group behind Brazil.

The Brazilians will have to play better to win it though.

Kaka was MotM for me.

 

[Yossarian]

Robinho looks like he's been putting on some pounds, in the form of muscles. DIDA WITH THE SAVE! Croatian strikers are shooting right at him.

He's put on ten pounds of muscle since coming to Madrid.


I can't believe Ze Roberto is not only on the team but also starting......he's being out-paced by a bunch of palefaces, what gives? You mean to tell me that Mancini was less deserving of this waste of space?


Good on Prso. He tried and tried out there, man. With his limited skill, he was attacking from the upper left wing trying to provide for his teammates, attacking from the centre, he was just very active and putting in an honest effort for the Croats.

 

[spiro d dragon]

All I can say is you can write off Brazil at your own peril. Did you see how much defense Croatia had to play to ward off Brazil's offense. Croatia's defense played really well.
