Match 14 - Brazil vs Croatia

[feo]

The first Brazilian match...can't wait. Croatia ain't no pushovers though, 3rd place in the '98 World Cup. My money is still on Brasilia...

Not according to the thread that has the fixtures...but one of the mods will fix it. Predictions for this game, I say 2-1 to Brazil.

Indeed. That is the SABC schedule. They are showing the France game delayed so it only comes up after the brazil one.

There are only a few games that arent live on SABC- this is about the biggest...

 

[feo]

I wonder how SABC go it right to show almost all the matches...I'm not complaining though

 

[hj2k_x]

Yes , it really is great!

I complain a lot about the terrible instudio 'experts' that they get for the halftime talk and postmatch stuff, but it really is great for the country that anyone with a tv can watch almost all the games live!

 

[feo]

At least they have one decent 'expert'..the guy with the french accent. He seems to be the only one there that actually knows what he's talking about.

 

[hj2k_x]

Man, how overrated is Roberto Carlos?! Freekick specialist my arse! He just runs up and hits it as hard as he can. And as for his actual defending...LOL!

 

[headstrong]

Both teams playin well... Hard to concentrate on forums etc wen the soccers on

Actually I think Croatia was playing better throughout the game, they deserved to win.

Looks like Brazil is gonna take it 1-0

 

[hj2k_x]

1-0 FT

For me, Croatia look good enough to go through with Brazil...

 

[headstrong]

Croatia played a supurb game alas Brazil still won

 

[TheCynick]

Rotundo, I mean Ronaldo, completely failed to impress.

He looks like he's been eating too much paella of late...

3 points for Brazil, Croats are not bad but will have to compete with the Aussies for 2nd place.

I thought Croatia's support was fantastic, didn't let the fact they were trailing get in the way of their support for their team. Really good to see. Best atmosphere of all the games I've seen so far.

The team looks good aswell. Should qualify.

As for Brazil, didn't look to get out of second gear but I expect they still have a lot to give. Ronaldo and Adriano were poor but I wouldn't write them off just yet. Ronaldo especially can turn on the brilliance when you least expect it.
