| That's a shame. Ghana really had it in them to be able to put up a fight. The last 15 mins were a joke. They were taking any shot at goal they got without any thought. lol @ "anti-aircraft football" |

| 22 shots without a goal is pathetic. That stat tells you that they weren't even trying to get good shots, just shots, hoping they'd sneak one in. |

They're expectionally good but haven't been exciting at all, that's why I'd prefer Argentina to win it. |
Diz isso não!

Ronaldinho is clearly on crap form and does nothing |
It is not so much his form as much as the position Parreira has him in. He's playing a different role than he's used to at Barca and it is evident he's not comfortable yet. You rarely see him cutting through the opposition coming from the sides towards the center and having a final say in the play. He's playing more centrally and farther back. He's supposed to set the pace of the game and architect the plays. The attacking is being left more for the strikers. This is obviuosly not working. Adriano is sucking and Ronaldo is just beginning to get back into it. Too bad Robinho is injured. The sloppy passes are frustrating for sure. I think there is "too" much talent on that team lol.. I mean , I can't believe Pernambucano barely gets time on the field. |

I don't know. I haven't heard anything but I don't think the injury is that serious. Hopefully he's back for next game. I want to see him start instead of Adriano for sure. Robinho terrorizes denfenses! This monster eats defensemen for breakfast! :p

I do find it funny how everyone is complaining about how ty Brazil is playing, yet they're tied with Germany and Argentina for the most goals through 4 games (10 each), and they've only given up 1, as opposed to the other two countries that have given up 2. Spain could catch up with a few later today, though.
I think Brazil's one of those teams that doesn't play hard until they have to, and so far, they haven't had to. |

If we win like that, I'd rather we not win at all. They played AWFUL football. Just awful. Ghana dominated the entire match, minus the first and last 5 minutes of the game. Everything in between for Brazil was complete rubbish. Their defense, in particular, was beyond crap. I could have furnished a living room in that space between Lucio and Juan. They got shredded. Their central defense is beyond weak, and if it wasn't for a combination of poor finishing on Ghana's part and some great goaltending from Dida, they would have lost the game fair and square.
And don't get me started about their offense. No flow, no rythm to their passing, no good build-ups, no ball domination, and worst of all, displays of selfishness. In particular, that Adriano missed break-away with Ronaldo to his left who was absolutely wide-open was an absolutely disgusting display. Roberto Carlos and Cafu were also guilty on somewhat similar displays, although those were less blatant. All in all, pathetic.
They need to change their line-up to what they had with Japan. Robinho is the most unselfish player on the team, and a perfect link-up between the mid-field and Ronaldo. If he's fit, he needs to start. Juninho also. And for the love of God, they need to shore up that defense, either by using Gilberto Silva in the back and benching Juan or Lucio (or both), or by changing their tactics in the back. But something definitely needs to be done. |
