WC Matchday 5: [NZL vs SVK] + [CIV vs POR] + [BRA vs PRK]

[melportela]

Brasil has the obligation of winning, but I don't think it's enough when we play poorly as we did today.

It was the worst game, for me. We should have done the same Germany did over Australia or even better.

 

[Gene Reginato]

For anyone who watched the last 4 years, it was predictable. Brazil doesn't shine against weak opponents because Dunga worries about defense, only.

Against better teams Brazil plays better. For our lucky we hope this trend continues.

lol at the one crying with the antheim.

Was that Jong Tae-Se? Born and raised in Japan.

He sure did look good (when he wasn't launching stupid 30 yard shots); would love to see him in Europe.

 

[Gunnersgoal22]

I really didn't see that coming from the North Koreans, they were actually good. If they play like that again I really think they could give Portugal tough time and maybe get out of the group... which would be pretty funny

 

[daftshadow]

Or may be the Brazilians weren't playing at their potential. Sloppy passes and miscommunication early in the game.

 

[KingPaulV]

Brazil under Dunga has performed just like this against lower level teams against the big boys they show all their guns and talent, it has happened EVERYTIME they play a big name rival, I expect a commited performance against Portugal IVC and any other big team they face

Born to South Korean parents in Japan and can speak portuguese, absolute legend.

He was crying because he probably doesn't know the words - hence the execution. xD

That's pretty awesome that he speaks even um pouco no portuges.

 

[cmc211]

I guess he cried because the feeling of playing WC for his country in 44 years or feeling sad about some social discriminations which Zainichi Koreans like him are getting in Japan.

 

[Krypton X]

He was brought to tears by the torturous, bloodcurdling, pure evil shrieks of the vuvuzelas, nothing in North Korea had prepared him for this kind of horror.

 

[MaSsiVe]

That's pretty awesome that he speaks even um pouco de português.

fixed, you're welcome

we were SH'T and I can't see us getting any better soon enough to avoid a major failure

I hear ya man, what a crap performance that was. It was sad to see what Portugal has become compared to what they were even 4 years ago. Where was the dynamic, attacking football? All I saw was a team that couldn't complete two passes and was scared to take any risks. I'm sick of the Ronaldo hype too, I actually believe the NT would be better off without him.

I really miss Figo & Rui Costa..

I'm not too impressed with Queiroz as manager. He's an excellent assistant manager but a very average manager.

Part of the problem is that he takes jobs that are way over his head. Portugal and Madrid are the only ones since 2002. That's ridiculous. I think he'd be okay at a smaller club where the pressure wasn't too high.
