**Official Thread Brazil-V-North Korea**

thought that was a great goal. Who smashes a cross low like that unless you want it to deflect of someone at best? Maybe he looked like he was going to cross to get the keeper to move out and create some space?

 

[Wilko]

Thank you Chris Coleman, he said exactly what I did, he looked up to cross it.

"half the viewers are thinking, no, no, no, he meant it, it was brilliant, brilliant, he's Brazilian!"

"half the viewers are thinking, no, no, no, he meant it, it was brilliant, brilliant, he's Brazilian!"

"And the other half are agreeing, saying yes it was!"

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Either way, 9 times out of ten that is a wasted effort that has all the strikers in the box cursing you because it's straight at the keeper. He got lucky because the keeper had already moved out in anticipation of a cross.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Anyone who thinks that was a shot and not a COMPLETE SLICE literally has NO clue.

 

[Commander]

That was a good goal.

 

[sam86]

Robinho was going for goal then.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

That was a good goal however. Samba cliché time...

 

[Muzzman]

[mistahclarke]

Elano meant to cross that.

 

[Wilko]

Hate to admit it but good second goal.

Don't agree with 'You won't see a better pass all tournament' though. South Africa goal anyone?

Why all the hate for Brazil? It's not like they're Palace, and they are playing against probably the most vile dictatorship on Earth.

It is more the idolising of them by the pundits than the team itself, any pass or goal is 'magical', 'perfection' or 'sublime'.

I just wish that England were praised a bit more, we have brilliant players too but they are never praised to the same degree. Take Lampard, he is exceptional, he scores 25 goals a season including hat-tricks andshots from 25/30 yards. If he was Brazilian called Lampadio he would be considered the best midfielder in the world.

Elano meant to cross that.

Of course, and from a 'horribly sliced' inch perfect ball onto his toe

Maybe when England play well they'll get some praise. Although I agree the wankfest over Brazil is a bit tedious, especially as they're not all that either.

 

[El Presidente]

I'm shocked at so many empty seats for a Brazil match.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Gooooooool dictatorship!!!!

 

[Commander]

YES!

 

[sam86]

Haha! Brilliant!
