BRAZIL OVERRATED!!!

I agree here. I think Brazil is way overrated. And against a better Croatian, they looked lucklustre and completely lacking in ideas. Ronaldo was pathetic at best and had it not been a scintillating goal in the brink of half time by Kaka, I think they would been a complete disaster. Croatian on the other hand had their homeworks done. They played particularly welll in defense and were looking dangerous everytime they countered. They should have scored atleast one. I mean what in the world was Ronaldo doing sitting their and not running? Where is the forward run by a centre forward of the quality of Ronaldo. If he was unfit why play him. Brazil is not short of strikers for god sake. And I read some magazines where they were saying Ronaldo plays like that. Stop it for heaven's sake. This is the biggest occassion and the biggest sporting event in the history. See how Rooney played today, chasing balls that was out of reach, giving defenders no easy chances to clear and coming back and helping the midfield out. I think Rooney and the subs were the difference for England today. Yes, Brazil seems to be in easier group playing weaker sides, but its the draw and there is no Brazilian fault involved. But they will have a tougher time advancing this time. And by the way, where are the Oranje Armies here in Sajha? No Holland fans. Common guys, lets root for Holland. Don't rule them out, COZ HERE COMES THE ORANJE.
