| I'm just sad the match against Cameroon was just a couple of kilometres away from my place, and I watched it at home :( |

I didn't know where I'd be in June, so I couldn't buy tickets when they were for sale :( |

I know Cameroon were pretty poor and I know his goal was offside, but I thought Fred played pretty well tonight. His first touch was excellent and his awareness and passing looked good. And he did score. My favourite goal was Fernandinho's - it stemmed from a Cameroon mistake in their own third but the rapid Brazil passing to exploit it was joyous. |
It amazes me how many Fred haters there are out there. I really don't understand where it stems from because the guy almost always delivers. Two games where he doesn't score and people were going nuts asking why he was even on the team.
Very glad he scored tonight. |

most games I see a fair number of upper deck seats empty. I'm sure someone on the street would sell you tickets. ;) |

Actually, that's illegal, and police arrested 16 people for that today (link in Portuguese). |

By the way, his goal wasn't offsides. The ball was past the last defender before the pass was made to Fred and Fred was also in front of the ball line. |

| So after what happened today it is safe to say that if Mexico beats Netherlands this Sunday California will have a few riots. :stongue::stongue: |

Unless the rule has changed in the last week, that's offside. If he'd been level or behind the ball he would have been onside. |

Offside it is I would say:

But like commented at the second video:"The rule is subject to interpretation as to whether a player is interfering with play." |

Sorry, when I said in front, I meant behind. If you draw a "ball line" down the pitch before it was passed to him, he was behind it. |
