my 2 cents
the game was never in doubt, the scoreline was not what i predicted but the goal diff was, a 8-4 score in brasils favor would not of suprised me if i believed in WHAT IF,WOULD OF,SHOULD OF,but i dont. great players are able to controll their adrenalin in the moment of truth,under enormous pressure.
neutrals might be disapointed with perreira killing the game after the first goal and not leaving everything on the pitch like ghana did. but im not, you never know what kind of energy is needed for the next game,the ultimate goal is to be champions again and not like 82, perreira has the right strategy for that and im with him 100% i got faith in him he knows what it takes.
erick Wynalda(spell)is a d!ck and an @sshole about ronaldo, such disrespect during halftime of thegame he should just salute him.
the ref had as great a game as human error allows, ALL the yellows were good calls, adrianos goal was offsides but it was a tough angle at real speed and not the refs fault but the linesman.
adriano made life for brasil harder than needed by being greedy(perreira will talk to him),ze roberto dispite the goal was subpar in defence surprising, bench r.carlos and put gilberto in,ronaldinho was handcuffed by perreira and ghanas midfield, emerson was injured for all but 10 minutes of the game, dida was amazing, ronaldo is the
best pure striker of all time and deserves the WC goal record, but still out of form yet improving every game and so selfless. kaka amazing again out cunning and running every one. lucio and juan played great again dispite what balboa says, it was not their fault it was the midfields fault.
about ghana,great world cup they controlled the midfield wonderfully for most of the game mainly for what they did to brasil but also emerson was hurt and ze roberto played subpar to his standards dispite missing essien,again mainly a tribute to ghana,kingson played amazing as well,ghana played to win and not alot of
teams are willing to do that vs brasil(australia),they played the high offside trap during all the games and it worked,but this time they faced an offense that are bigger and just as fast as their defenders to the coachs fault they looked surprised by that.now that ghana is gone no team other than france can match brasil athletically.to me i truly think this was the hardest match up left for brasil in the WC regardless of braket mainly for ghanas team speed im now more confident than before on brasils chances of a back to back.i honestly dont care who brasil has to play from this point on, though i rather avoid the home team germany.
rewriting history, ronaldo with more mile stones with 15, a true legend
