    I have to say I really enjoyed the fact that the Koreans put on a good show. They actually looked pretty decent - a lot better at keeping the ball than England for example.

      They were pretty decent, although having 9 behind the ball most of the time pretty much negates Kaka' as a footballer.

        Kaka's stock has really taken a nose dive over the last couple of years, he seems to have been found out a little. Robinho looked better than him yesterday

          Kaka' is quality when there's space between defence and midfield, places for him to surge into. Problem is if its compact, with little room, and a defence dropping deep then he's very limited.

          Robinho was pure Brazilian last night, lots of outrageous touches, yet with the ability to pick out a killer ball too. Looked excellent and easily the best of the attackers.

            I thought Brazil needed to use the wide areas better. Elano, Robinho and Kaka all failed to stretch the defense and the Koreans generally did well pushing the fullbacks backwards I thought. I though both Elano and Robinho could have done more to make room for Kaka to work in. They all recycled the ball well but were rarely incisive.

            Surprised by how tactically aware the Koreans were as in that respect the Brazil team is very fluid, although they do seem to be more set up to counter than go out and destroy teams.

              Imagine the slagging Dunga would have received from our fans if that'd been Liverpool v Hull at Anfield with both Silva and Melo on the pitch!

                Clearly none of these top managers know what they're doing.
                .
                Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
