Brazil defeated Croatia on June 13, but the fireworks that most people expected from the worlds most talented team did not materialize. Featuring Ronaldinho, who many consider the best player in the world, the Brazilians were only able to muster a 1-0 victory. Ronaldo, who with 12 career World Cup goals is eyeing Gerd Muellers record of 14, has been accused of being, well, fat. Hopefully that was blunt enough for you. In the match, Ronaldo was slow and ineffective. He was replaced by Robinho in the 68th minute. And is it just me, or is Ronaldo one ugly man? Kak scored the games lone goal in the 44th minute. There were chances by both teams to add to the scoring column, but none of the opportunities were capitalized upon. The highlight of the second half came when a crazed Croatian fan ran onto the field in the 85th minute. Boy, was German security terrible. It took a good two to three minutes before the fan was taken off the field. And when he was taken off, he wasnt carried off or carted off in handcuffs. He was gently escorted off the field like a lost child at an amusement park. Unbelievable. Back in the states, the players would have already decked the fan, and security would have had to keep the players from further injuring the lunatic. Brazil will look to put more goals on the board when they play Australia on June 18. The Croatian team, whose fans were thrilled with their strong showing against Brazil match, will also play their next game on June 18 versus Japan. |
