Last night was the opening match for two top teams of the tournament. France and Brazil.
Lets talk about the first match.
It started off very slowly, with the Swiss playing extremely defensive. France tried to pierce through the oppositions defense but someone or the other kept losing the ball. Henry and Zidane were mediocre. They did get a few good balls in but no one converted. Even the Swiss for that matter had a number of opportunities but lost the advantage.
The 2nd match was a complete sell-out, yea yea.. Brazil was playing.. so what? One could clearly see Ronaldo having trouble with his ball control ( and boy is he nice and podgy now) and the Brazilian defense caught off guard so many times. Croatia had their chances but screwed it up. Gotta give them credit for the time they held back the saamba boys, it was impressive. The Kaka shot was nice, not all that great as the commentator had put it.
Kinda boring in the end, the whole thing - barring Croatia's few unsuccesful runs.
What a disgraceful turnout.

what do you expect if you watch sports instead of playing it?
so as the onwer of the revered blog says no utter nonsense, so be it...
Ok France did not play well et all .... it looked liked the team was full of ronaldos (considering his yesterdays play, France team must attempt a mass sucide)
And now for BRAZIL....
Did u notice one thing, all the shots the strikers took, were way outside the penalty area box..
why why ......
the croatia had atleast 5 of there players inside the box , marking the brazilian players, striking with that kind of defense was not possible, second just analyze the previous statements issued by the brazilian team, like OTHER teams wud be well prepared against them...
NOW HOW TO change that, simple, change the tatics, now brazilian players took all shots from outside the box, and being successfull, though only once, but enogh to give other teams in the tournament to think something about,.......
defense of Brazil, did u see cafu, he was no longer a defender but a striker......and same for lucio.....jaun did some gud defending....
RONALDO was really off colour yesterday and even ze roberto....
But if i think the wAY IT is score against Australia wud be something like ....
BRAZIL 3 - o AUSTRALIA
AND yes KAKA's shot not being that great....
I wud just say , as SCRITCH has put it, go play some football
