Brazil V Ireland

[King Kev]

How come Brazil play so many games at The Emirates?

How shit is Shay's kit?

Will you get a bit annoyed if Robinho plays well?

Just turned it on mate. Can't see it being a full blooded game but I think there will be many tricks and flicks for the crowd.

Because there's around 250000 Brazillians live in London who can afford the tickets, and there's the travelling aspect for the players who mainly play in Europe

its the screams from the crowd that is annoying more than anything at the moment whenever Brazil get anywhere near the 18 yard box.

Andy Townsend saying Shay should have shouted for the ball to say it was his rather than let the defender deal with the ball.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

what a miss lol

[ruralblue]

There you have it, suprise suprise, Robinho looks half arsed as if he can't really be bothered grafting. Yes he got a lucky goal a deflection but apart from the odd glimer of brilliance, NOTHING much else.

Robinho not really impressing - offside pointlessly and then misses an easy chance.

I have said in recent weeks that I think Given should be more commanding of his area.

However in light of your post, at the risk of looking like I might share a similar point of view to Andy Townsend, I'd like to go on record as saying the exact opposite.

Thanks

Robinho motm

[Green & Blue]

Not a bad 1st half showing from Ireland but they were left ball watching the entire second half.
Have to say Roninhos goal was very nice,lovely one two and a quality finish to match.

[Ted Hughes]

Superb finish from Robbie, mostly same as a City away game otherwise. Can't understand how he can keep Ronaldinho out of the team. Just the fact that he can take free kicks should be enough to sway the balance but he's playing much better too.

Did Ireland do the half time team talk in the pub? Looked terribly unfit & disorganised after an hour. No excuse for it as they had more of the ball 1st half so they've no reason to be any more tired than Brazil 15 mins into the 2nd.
