PMLF Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 They are Real Madrid or Real Madrid are Brazil. Shame so many people think Brazil is like Barcelona... Brazil is like RM but with much less concerns about the style. Ok, I'll try to find that game.PS: Is Coutinho going to Inter? Probably, but Vasco want to keep him until December. Ignorant Rafa Benítez said that he never heard of Coutinho.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roseboy64 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Sorry make that vuvuzela. That essentially tells the story of how the game developed, hopefully demonstrating that studying the tactical characteristics of individual sides is a worthwhile exercise. British television broadcasters acted like the scoreline was a shock to the world, when in fact the pattern of the game was logical when considering the philosophy and strategy of Brazil and North Korea.

The funniest thing is all those people abroad thinking there is an actual threatened bird called "Galvão". We can see how people are misguided about this by looking at the comments on the first pages, when some people didn't like when I said 1-0 victory would be fine. Anyway, that's an interesting article, thanks! The game against CIV should be easier for Brazil than today's one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I actually enjoyed that game, I know everyone was like 'OMG, North Korea aren't rubbish' but I did put in the 'Shock Predictions' thread I think they'll get a 0-0 with someone, probably Portugal. Just from a few friendlies leading into this they seemed very well organised. Brazil were awful really, well, not awful but not particularly good. I couldn't help thinking if we switched Brazil for England in this game what would the reaction have been like? The pundits at my end, which were Venables, Mark Hateley and Peter Reid were going on about Brazilian patience and moving the ball quicker 2nd half and being rewarded for this whereas if it was England would they have been saying that? Not many people in this thread have said "Brazil are rubbish lolz" or "they're not winning the World Cup" based on one display. They laboured, didn't get round the sides quick enough, were restricted to shooting from distance and North Korea looked semi dangerous when breaking and fairly composed on the ball. England would be getting dragged over the coals for this, not sure if Brazil are getting it in the neck back home but nowhere they are it seems. Also, Maicon was crossing that, wasn't he Belting down the line and fizzing it in and got some slice on it. Commentators were going on about 'wonder strike'. They so desperately want Brazil to be some free-scoring, entertaining, ball jugglers, which they aren't. The praise Brazil got was ridiculous at the end of the game considering the performance (nice 2nd goal tbf) but they started asking who has been the best team so far Germany or Brazil .. erm, say what now! North Korean keeper and left back are a bit pants too, can definitely get at them there. I expect Ronaldo to be shooting from all over the place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanghaiNugget Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I would've worn a North Korea shirt in public before this game (didn't find anywhere to buy their jersey) as I believed that they could win 2-1 but they still showed that they are a good team and they will most definetly trouble Ivory Coast and Portugal. I saw a shirt on sale a while ago but it's not on their site no more. I imagine they will get more in. I said before the tournament and even before the friendlies that North Korea will not be as bad as people think. I don't expect them to win, but they will give teams a run for their money (though probably not an apt sentence for NK). None of my mates believed me, but we'll see! I also predicted Japan would beat Cameroon and they didn't believe me either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 It's a real shame that Chile and Holland will learn nothing from this game How do you mean? I think Bert will have watched the game, as it is expected that we will meet Brazil in the QF, so he has looked I am sure off, he is not like our previous manager who never made adjustments based upon opponents.

Ollie Kahn was slating the Brazilians for being slow, unmoving and generally just counting on one brilliant individual move. I tend to agree.
