Ruthless efficiency from Brazil. Shameful kicking from Ivory Coast though, Elano's injury looks like he broke something and he'll be badly missed

Not really, they already qualified, and even if they lose to Portugal, which will not happen, even without Kaka, this may actually benefit them as they will avoid Spain in the Round of 16, although my opinion is that they match up very well with Spain and they should have no problem beating them as Spain is a very good but very one-dimensional team, which plays exactly the style that suits Brazil.

Kaka will not get more than one game for that

Yeah I knew their are already placed, it was more kind of a joke.

The first one was deserved. The second was complete bullshit. The ref completely lost control of the game, Ivory Coast lost it and started to kick the shit out of Brazil players, and Brazil are actually fortunate to escape with only one injured player. There should have been red cards for them, not for Brazil, but anyway, it's over now

kaka already had a yellow card and an ivory coastian player ran up behind him so kaka threw what seemed to be a not too hard "back up off me" elbow to the chest. the ic player of course clutched his face and threw himself back as if he just got a vicious elbow to the face. ref didnt see it but came up to player holding his face and rolling on the ground asked him what happened then ran to kaka and gave him his second yellow and red card. wont jeopardize brazil in the tourney though. and spain does not have a chance against brazil....they're a one dimensional pussy team

Kaka won't be missed, I hope Dunga moves Bastos out of LB, starts Alves in his place, and puts Bastos in the attacking midfield. Thats where he belongs and thats where he plays for Lyon.

Kaka, Rooney, Ribery, etc etc all players who didn't show up to the World Cup.

they havnt showed up so far TBH.

and what an upset draw for New Zealand :D

I hope they make it through
PRops to NZ they almost won the game at the end too, Wood went real close on like the 85th minute.

Italy as a whole didn't show up but who really expected them too... Thats the easiest group and they aren't even getting out of it without a struggle
