Rusty Brazil

I wouldn’t have said that for any other team but only for Brazil because they have set such a high standard of football that the last night display can only be described as rusty. Any one can tell you that one goal advantage is never an advantage( Ask Japanese) and with little bit of luck and more skillful play Croats would have easily drawn. But a win is a win no matter how it comes in the end are the three points and I am sure this is just a beginning of what is to come. Though there were moments of magic, Ronaldinho weaving his way through three defenders and his magical touches, Roberto Carlos with this thunderbolt which must have given a serious sting on the fingers of Croats Goalkeeper and kaka brilliantly taken goal he hit it with the side of his boot and woah it flew fabulous. But the real disappointing ones were the two strikers who failed to leave any impact and were below par (which has resulted in yet again poor performance of my fantasy team :( ).

But all the credit to Croatia who hung on despite losing their captain through injury in first half and never looked like given up. They tried, they battled and they gave no respect to Brazilian’s reputation. If they continue with this kind of determination they should beat South Korea and advance to second round.

And yes the crowd it was just majestic all yellow and with Croats white and they were making heck of a noise must be some experience.

So today first set of matched will end and all teams would have played one game atleast by the end of the day. Its Spain vs. Ukraine in 20 minutes time.
