Saudi Arabia - Brazil

Eurosport claims they will show the match live today at 18.30 CET. I just hope this is not another bullshit from them.

Saudi Arabia missed a penalty.

Brazil did not impress, but nevertheless, they played a good match. As for the action that led to the penalty kick, it seemed a clear offside to me, but Dida should do better with the clearance, although he had quite good match till that situation. The three central defenders did a good job, IMHO, as did Gilberto Silva as defensive midfielder. Belleti and Paulo Cesar did not impress me, Kleber did much better than both in the few minutes he played. As for the attack, Edilson was good (as was Marques), but I don't understand why Luisao and Washington were picked as center forwards? I mean, you could easily use there Romario, he is way better than both, and if you want a powerful guy there that can score with a header, you can simply choose Jardel. Djalminha showed why he has to be in the team for the World Cup - he is just deadly from the freekicks. Juninho also played a good match, but not the same is true for Kleberson. Any objections to this analysis anyone?

Yes,Djalminha is a creative player.He must be in the WC!Felipao don't like Romario,I don't know why.I think that because he is donkey.I agree with you,Romario is so better than Washington and Luizao.Edilson is a great player.Kleberson is a great player too, but he can't show his game there in Arabia.
