Quarter finals, here we go
As usual against my predictions, France has defeated Spain by 3 to 1, and they’re playing Brazil next. This World Cup is now getting into its quarter finals, and there is no more fooling around anymore.
Brazil 3 - 0 Ghana
There it goes. Ghana runs a lot and reigns with ball possession, but doesn’t have enough ability to put a ball in the net. Brazil scores an early goal with Ronaldo - which is now the new World Cup scoring record holder, gets an offside wrongly marked with the same Ronaldo, gets a goal with [...]

One More Big Moment
It’s great to see how many people are reading this blog. An event such as the World Cup surely deserves a world wide gathering of opinions like we have here. We get many positive messages about our efforts to represent our country and at the same time we must endure some fanatics calling us names [...]
Robinho gets a rest
Just when it looked like Robinho had finally made it into the main squad, he gets injured after a goal kick training.
According to CBF, the injury is nothing serious, and he’s not feeling any pain - however, he won’t be able to play against Ghana next tuesday. He will continue physiotherapy for a few days, [...]
Japan is no Ghana
Brazil played very well against Japan. If you read the live blog master Bob did you may think the match was boring. I totally disagree. The team was twice as fast as the previous one. Cicinho did a great job even having failed to cover the Japanese attack in the first goal. To give you [...]
What are you Ghana do…
…when they come for you?
Brazil advances to the round of 16 and faces Ghana next tuesday. Parreira says he hasn’t decided the team formation yet. Maybe he just wants it to remain secret so Ghana won’t be able to plan in advance, or maybe he was awestruck with the performance by most of the second [...]
Brazil 4 - 1 Japan
Brazil was playing with only 5 players from the main squad and was pretty much dominating the game but Japan opened the score on their first goal kick. Brazil came back to score 4 goals though - 2 by Ronaldo, which now surpasses Pelé and is the Brazilian players with most goals on World Cup [...]
“Brazil is not a monster”
Is it time for the ULTRAZICO? This image is the front page of ‘O Globo’ newspaper sport section. I thought it was worth sharing with you all. Today’s match against Japan will be important for our side because Parreira will be able to do some experiments.
Some TV shows informed that Parreira will spare Emerson, Cafu [...]
Japan countdown
Brazil plays Japan in about 7 hours, see the preview here. Parreira didn’t give any hints on the squad formation yet, said he’d only announce it immediately before the game - this probably means he’ll try some changes, because he usually says he’ll just use the main squad with no mistery. On the other side, [...]
