WC Qtrs - Brazil vs Netherlands (Fri 10 ET, ESPN)

[BB73]

A much-anticipated game from Port Elizabeth.

 

[Jaxbuck]

Give me the Dutch rudder.

 

[BuckTwenty]

Steady Robben.

Give me the Dutch rudder.

The match should have its ups and downs.

Offsides is such a bitch penalty in soccer sometimes. I could understand if he's more than 5 feet away, but a foot or two? Come on. The defender only needs to take a step forward at the right time and get the penalty.

So, these Brazilians are good at putting that round thing into that square thing.

Brazil takes gets the first score and a nice one too.

With their feet.

Robinho - 10' on a brilliant through ball from midfield.

Well, all three/four defenders need to step up to make it happen. If one of them isn't on the same page, you have a free run on goal. I personally love seeing a good offside trap at work. It's the epitome of teamwork and communication.

Well, they do live south of the [strike]Mason-Dixon Line[/strike] equator.

If they keep playing like this - Dunga has earned the right to tell everyone back home to kiss the fattest part of his ass.
