Top tip for the Croatians,
Aim for the goal not the goalkeeper.
I didn't think much of Brazil tbh....but they always seem to wake up in the 1/4 finals

Are there any decent teams in this WC? I've yet to be dazzled by anyone.
The Croatians need to stop running into defenders!

agree with you there Jules, a lot of teams come to life in the knockout stages. Games are much much better

More to play for.
Difference between us and Brazil is that we run our arses off for 90 mins (ok debateable) and finish shagged out with blisters on blisters
Whilst the Brazilians hardly broke sweat.....the comment about the two donkey toothed strikers chatting on the half way line was priceless

Good game, but I have to say Croatia did themselves proud, I thought they played so well, especially that Prso fella, they made a few really good chances, but just didn't finish them, one major chance was were one man was free in the box, and Prso took another touch and didn't cross it, bit of a weird one that. Obviously it was vintage Brazil, but 1-0 job done. Nice goal from Kaka is well.

3 points against a good team without coming out 2nd gear, job done. At the end of the match Lucio played a ball into midfield and ran the length of the park yet still didn't look as if he had broke sweat.

Brazil did what they had to do without going into second gear IMO. The 3 points are what mattered to them, not the performance.
People are forgetting that they were playing a fairly good side and was never going to be a simple walk in the park.

I expected a lot more from Brazil last night, and I think Ronaldo should cut out the pies!! How fat is is! Plain to see why Ronaldihno is considered the best footballer in the world though, he really is amazing to watch. I thought Croatia played really well too, they held themselves well against a team like Brazil.

Robinho changed the game for the better for me when he came on.
Ronaldo isnt FAT, just a bit larger than he was. I think Adriano didnt do much more TBH but we dont talk about that because he hasnt been getting attacked in the papers etc...
