Brazil 2 – 0 Ireland

First was offside, but a lovely second goal though!

Robinho was MoM.

he was in full effect. he started where he left off against Ireland in 08. his runs were effective and so was his positioning. he also showed off some Samba. Kelly was getting worked.

Grafite > Adriano. horrid night for Adriano. one he would want to forget.

Kaka was not fully fit yet but he still move around and exchange passing. That what we need from Ronaldinho instead of always stick on leftside and waiting for supply. Robinho was great. But for me the man of match should be Maicon. Adriano really needs to work harder. I ever didn’t notice that he was on the pitch. The same problem still there. What was made clear is that Brazil have no penetration down the left, no real cutting edge without Luís Fabiano, are largely predictable and don’t perform well unless Kaká is on top of his game. Dunga should have already known this already but he made no real attempt to resolve these issues. I agree on inclusion of Ronaldinho cause there will be plan B with him and Pato if Kaka and Luis Fabiano combination didn’t work out.

Jeez what was adriano doing on the pitch, he was not on the game at all, I think Dunga should stop wasting time on Adriano and look for another forward as a substitute for Fabiano, I would say fat Ronaldo is far far better than this Fat ass Adriano..man what a loser he was..anyway Dunga has made it clear that he is not taking Ronaldinho and pato to SA.

…based on this year.

“Fat ass” Adriano has eclipsed Ronaldo.

Adriano has 5 goals as a pivo while Ronaldo has 1 as a out and out striker…

my chips are still with Adriano. I think he needs more than to do things indivdually like he does at Flamengo and start integrating with the team more. that was his problem today. other then that he had a decent night. with a nice freekick.

What do people think of Michel Bastos’ performance? He was all over the place today, I think he shows promise.

jzlim, I think we wouldve looked different up front if Nilmar, or even Grafite, had started over Adriano.

it is not surprising wining over Ireland for Brazil. . . b/c they are full of talented and world classic footballers. . .moreover they are always present with their wining mentality. . .!!!
