Watching football champs Brazil play, i just get a feeling that this is not their year! Well they have some brilliant players and I may eventually have to eat my words. But for the moment I do feel that Brazil wont make it their sixth, this time! And , to me, their downfall seems close as they play France next!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brazil have been the favorite amongst fans and experts since the beginning, France on the contrary were written off during various stages of the tournament. However the French have upped their game since the first 2 games and seem to be peeking at the right time. Most of us were quick enough to notice the obvious deficiencies in the French armor and pointed out that how miserable they were at scoring goals, but no one took note of the fact that no one scored against them yet. this speaks volume about the french defence.

To beat the Brazilians you need a team with solid defence some average forwards and a superb finisher. I say so because of the shoddy Defense Brazil has. Seeing the Ghana play makers rush thru the brazil borders was like a hot knife slashing thru butter. Only if they had better finishers, Ghana wud have been like 4 up in the first half. So the team most fancied to beat Brazil are Italy & France. Italy , not so much though , considering the poor form of their strikers. But France ,well, have the cleanest finisher in the game in Henry and some brilliant playmakers.

So, If this Brazilian defensive (non) performance stays and Theiry Henry has his day, you'll certainly see a "Cat amongst the Pigeons" show on Saturday!
Everybody is saying its gonna be Brazil, but the French can potentially upset them! For the moment, ill kep my fingers crossed.
I agree. The Ghana Brazil game was an eye opener. I am almost convinced that despite the 3-0 score Ghana outplayed Brazil within the 30 yard. They could almost everytime get the ball to the striker they wanted although the forward let Ghana down.
ReplyDeleteGo france - then Go England.
Go Ukraine - then Go Germany.
Basically, Italy Brazil no GO
I agree with whatever you had written but its gonna be tough to beat brazil. Yes they are a team to beat but at the same time u r correct that they are not gonna win the tournament....As you said, that to beat brazil a team with great defence, average midfield and great attackers will do...so why not the ENGLISH team .....thier defence speaks volume with names like cole, ferdinand and campbell.....midfield in form of terry, beckham, j.cole, lampard, gerrard....and strikers like rooney, crouch (not much...but still....I guess the brazil team will crush the french team and will get beaten by the english team.....and ENG vs GER will be the final.......
