Trust Brazil and the Samba Boys to bring colour back to the World Cup.
After what has, at best been a Premier League season style World Cup thus far, with most matches resembling dour, bottom of the table scraps, Brazil and the Ivory Coast finally came up with a match to remember.
Three goals from Brazil, Kaka setting them up with sublime passes, showing why he's still much better than any one else around at ball distribution. And then, a fairytale Didier Drogba goal. What a player! Broken hand, almost not making it to the world cup, then starting the second match and getting a goal. And then, the play-acting, reminiscent of Rivaldo's antics 8 years ago, getting Kaka sent off for a second yellow.
Brazil qualified. The match was worthy of a World Cup. I still want the Dutch to win.
But if anyone questioned Brazil's perpetual favourite status at the WC, now you know why!

Indeed, the match was awesome.
yeah the sending off was most uncalled for. the match was decent. I'm no Brazil fan.
must mention the french team kicking up a ruckus at the WC. wonder when that will get sorted.
tahnee
Kaka's the footballing equivalent of a saint. The referee has to be a noob or a blind-deaf-mute idiot to send him off. Gah.
Yeah, lots of drama with the French and the English. Reminds me of Henry the VIII and the 16th century European scenario. France and England fight, as Portugal and Spain conquer the world.
Nice to hear from you, been a while, eh TB?
Harsh it seems from our view, but referee had no view. Stupid play acting is ruining the game. Italy tried it today. Thankfully no cards.
am conflicted..looking as it stands.. dutch play brazil in the quarters....blaah... one has to bow out.. as long as it is explosive with twists n turns...its money well paid.. :P
