Didn't Mexico beat the Brazilians before the tournament anyway? The commentators are talking as if Yeovil are turning over Barca at the Nou Camp.

yeah 2 nil. Brazil look very poor today - as the commentator keeps saying, lots of individuals but no team. Rafael just summed that up perfectly.

They beat them in a friendly, didn't they also beat them last summer in a competition (Gold Cup I think.... I don't think it was played in Cheltenham though!)

Gio scored that wonder goal.

Rafael is a complete cock.

But I can't believe how poor Brazil have been! All individuals with ability but completely rubbish as a team.

Some of Damiao's hold up play has been decent though.

Just looked it up - it was the same Brazil team that are here today, not there full squad.

Shame about Damiao's complete lack of cutting edge though... worrying if he's actually on his way.
