What a sublime finish by Ronaldo! The old man may be out of shape, but he’s still as dangerous as any footballer with the ball at his feet.
What’s with the lack of offsides calls on Brazil thus far?? They’ve been off on a number of times with no call! It appeared that Adriano was just off on his recent finish…let the FIFA conspiracy theories fly!
Brazil’s defense was exposed to the core and hats off to Ghana’s play in front of Brazil’s D.
Don’t cry for Ghana, tomorrow it will be a different story the 2010 World cup would be played “on African soil.”
