Two quite pertinent questions, having watched some of their game against Croatia. Where were they then? Where were the perennial world beaters tonight? Secondly, and possibly more worrying, is it actually true that all BBC presenters and pundits have been advised to wear condoms when talking about, never mind watching Brazil - lest their expensive strides become soiled as they circle-jerk to the Golden ones? (Your one exception to this rule is the level headed, ever objective Scot Gordon Strachan ) I mean. Gushing in total adoration over the chances of England is one thing. Bigging up a pedestrian Brazilian performance seems a bit sad? Discuss. It's the silly season, after all. ;D

Brazil were poor, Croatia can consider themselves VERY unlucky not to get a point, they played atleast as well but lacked the cutting edge infront of goal (which is suspiciously like what we keep saying about Telford.)

I missed about twenty minutes elaborately throwing a sicky for work tomorrow, you'd think i needed the bloody pope's permission, anyway, what i saw was a bunch a very good players lazily wandering round the pitch and winning three points. Had Croatia got a shot in that worried Dida than it might've changed.
Ronaldo though, must've used up all his pace and effort chasing pies.

To be fair, the Beeb pundits did coment upon his not entirely svelte physique - and apparent lack of interest. The goal was a good one, but was training ground stuff - the amount of time and space Kaka was given! Laws! I could have curled that one in while reading a book!

Ronaldo was comical. I was rooting for Croatia because I'm sick of all the fawning that goes on whenever pundits talk about Brazil. Apparently they're "Everyones second favourite team" (says who?)

btw, while we're talking about the world cup. The bbc streaming games online is brilliant, my tragically uncultured flatmates can watch big brother and desperate housewives repeats on my telly downstairs while i sit in my room enjoying the footy (or falling asleep in front of France v Switzerland) on the PC. Utter genius. Also i imagine rather good for those without telly licences over on campus

My second favourite team is, er, England. Unless you count Sutton reserves i agree with you Sal. Last night i to was cheering for Croatia, i am sick to death of hearing and reading about how great Brazil are, and how lucky everyone else is to watch them/inhabit the same universe. Like England they were slow and pedestrian, and won by a single goal (unlike England, however they were seriously troubled by a resourceful and unlucky Croatian side). What annoyed me the most was at half time, when Hanson said about Kaka's 1st touch before his goal, that it was a 'magnificent touch', well i thought it looked pretty ordinary, and excuse me if i'm wrong, but most teams are scoring goals like that at the moment. What annoys me the most about Brazil, is the fact that they are making glory-hunting acceptable on every stage of Football.

I was supporting Croatia, I normally go for the underdog (unless we're involved and not the underdog.) All the hype Brazil keep getting is boring.

I never really bother supporting anyone except my teams, unless I have a strong personal motive to do so!
I tend to have just a little inclination towards one side, and Croatia was mine, too.
