Ok, so we're just about to start Brazil's first match in this here world cup.


As usual, their side is bursting with international superstars like Ronaldinho and Ronaldo, although there seems to be a fitness issue with the latter. Maybe he's been feasting on those trans-fats. Then there are Robinho, Roberto Carlos, Kaka... I can hardly wait!

Croatia have apparently played 1-1 against brazil recently, so maybe this wont be as easy as some might think.

Based partly on my extensive soccer experience and partly on what I read in my horoscope today, I predict the match to end 2-2! what do you think?

we'll see after the game, enjoy!

Yeah I'm not a bookie or astrologist. 

I was expecting more from the Brazilian side than what they gave me today.  The absolute lowpoint was without a doubt Ronaldo, who it seems, is too sexy for the world cup. He just stands there and says with every ounce (and there are a few) of his being that he's bored shitless, and would rather be back at the hotel with his playstation or munching on a big mac at the local Mcd.
 
The second disappointment was that old geezer Kafu. I dont know why national teams insist on starting these age old relics. Let someone who hasn't played 150 national games have a crack at it - someone that doesn't need a kane.

All in all it was decent match I suppose. Lots of tempo and missed oppurtunities.  Maybe Brazil is just finding its feet you know, easing into top gear? lets hope so.
