Really? Brazil has some rough areas. Remember Andres Escobar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil does have some terrible crime, but it's a far more advanced and civilized country as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. I think it's shocking the Dutch came from behind to win in regular time, but I don't think this Brazil team was that good. Offensively, their roster was unimpressive by Brazilian standards. They were just one of the powers to me and not the top team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just one of the powers to me and not the top team. Obviously a lot of that is due to the system Dunga played, 4-2-2-2 with 2 holding midfielders, so it's pretty defensive. And they were meant to be much better defensively and at set pieces and it was their downfall today. Certainly didn't like the way their players were carrying on in the 2nd half also. As for Melo, he plays for Juventus in Serie A, so I don't know if his family already live in Turin instead of Brazil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is really a World Cup of no clear-cut favorites but right now, you've gotta think Spain or Argentina are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Um, he could get killed. Depends on how much money the cartels had on the game. But he's just at likely to get killed by a random bum. He probably won't die unless argentina advances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
