BRAZIL 1 V CHILE 1 (AET)
BRAZIL WIN 3-2 ON PENS
I said earlier these games would be tight and this one was.
A really good first half with both goals coming in a 15 min spell.
The second half and extra time didnt really live up to the first 45 mins and even though the BBC commentator was trying to make it sound like the greatest game we had seen ...it wasnt.
Brazil are there for the taking and non of the europeans should fear playing them.
Their front man FRED is a lucky guy.....Because if Brazil didnt also have JO then FRED would be the worst striker they have ever had....
Oscar was so anonymous that Scolari only remembered he was on the pitch at half time of extra time when bringing him off.
This Brazil team are very over rated and any team that attacks them down the flanks will get rewarded.
Tonight they were lucky against a Chile team who i thought might just have edged it and could have won it with the last kick of the game if the bar hadnt saved them.
So Brazil go on to the last eight but even though they should best either Columbia or Uraguay i can see then not making the final as in the semis either the Germans or the French will wipe the floor with them.
Also how they allowed Luis to keep the first goal when it clearly didnt touch him before going in amazes me and of course our first scorer on Sanchez is a looser...
Tonights Bets.....All lost.....
New balance.....
