Have stuck by my guns, and have done in almost every World cup i have been alive for, but i do think Brazil will win the WC they will, as was said in another thread, probaly not win games by huge amounts but it would be silly to write them off their still class. Even though so far this game, yet again is quite dull.

Ru i disagree with you, yes they seem defensively sound but they hardly up against top opposition. also if they are failing to break north china down how will they do against better sides such as Ital, Argentina, Spain even us! Although it is hard to say otherwise when they can only play whos in front of them but they just dont seem like a normal brazil side and are far too defensive to win the whole thing, i'd give them semi's at best!
i second that, would be delighted wouldn't care that they have not gone for it. Also at least they are trying to counter attack and now and again get forward, be tough for them to hold it i still think brazil will win 3-0nil. once the first is in will be more open
It's not a classic spectacle, but it's fascinatingly balanced at the moment.
very true, i dont mind watching games like this. obviously would prefer end to end goalfest but it is interesting when teams come to defend and do a good job, just means that brazil have to go out attack,attack, attack and you never know as NK could score through a counter....stranger things have happened in football
The team that finishes a World Cup the strongest rarely starts the strongest. For me it's between Spain and Brazil, although I have to admit, I was quite impressed with Germany, they looked a lot better than I expected and they seem to have a good shape and balance about them. In fact, of all the big guns, the team whoch has looked the most like a bunch of strangers, so far, is England.
True and thats why i will stick to my guns with Brazil til they're out. Spain will be good but may peak early and fizzle out they have a habit of doing that. All the big guns still has a chance but i do agree with you that England look the worse for ware at the moment. Germany were particularly good but Australia were pretty bad too however 4-0 in any match is a great score and a job done well.
Not as good as this though, probably in terms of technique the best goal ever.
You see players drill the ball across the box has hard as they can quite regularly, hoping for a deflection. Plus on slow mo it clearly came off his toe.
Yeah, the replay changed my mind - he's looking at who's running in, not the keeper. Still would have been a rubbish cross though!
Good goal by NK though. Pleased for them, think they deserved it. The People's Rooney played much better than the original Rooney did the other night.
Agree, defend like that and Portugal, in a particular, will struggle to break them down and with that number 9 they have a more than decent striker to build counter attacks around. They might yet cause an upset.
his touch and movement was very decent...but he got well excited around the box, his shooting was terrible!
