Anyone watching the game, featuring our (for now) Brazilian international goalkeeper? Right said Fred...........1-0 Brazil, early goal.
Great minds and all that Kilburn, we posted within seconds of each other. There's a great atmosphere in the Maracana, an early goal was just what this game needed.
Arbeloa lucky to get yellow. Neymar making a meal of it, again. Shame they have to act like they've been shot when they go down...
Great game! It is living up to the hype. Very impressed by Brazil so far, their high pressure is not suiting Spain.
Starved of football I also watched the Uruguay v Italy game earlier. Yes indeed, a cracking game. Would be great if Spain can level the score. Real lucky bounce of the ball in the buildup to that goal. Cesar just made his first save.
I don't think the Spanish are enjoying the hostility either. Still a tough one to call though. I think it will go to pens.
I wouldn't mind pens Nines, the greatest of entertainman for a neutral. But unless Brazil tire dramatically they will tear Spain to shreads long before we reach the 90th minute.
Brazil playing the classic fast counter attack game and Spain uncharacteristically giving up possession too cheaply. It's making for a great game mate.
What will be interesting to see is how long Brazil can keep this tempo and intensity up, and how will they react to a setback if Spain equalise? How much of the energy are they getting from the crowd? If this is anything to go by then they will be close to unstopable in the World Cup.
He's a horrible little scrote, chose to dive instead of going clean through, got a good shot on him though. Would not cut it in the PL though.
