Go Go Go
Costa Rica

(and their women actually prettier than Brazil’s- little known fact)

Is anyone else watching?

This game is exciting!

Yeah lots of good play, Navas on fire and plenty of excellent cheating.

And there we go, Coutinho. 1-0.

The big hitters are struggling.

Nigeria vs Iceland next, the other match in Argentina's group. Draw or Nigeria win is best for Argentina.

Brazil look easily the best team. Just need to figure out how to set up against the various opposition. Nobody has a better squad.

Agreed could have done with them drawing today, was a big result for them :(

I must say, I was amazed to turn on the match (after I had sorted Karen for the afternoon it was all but over) to see 0-0 with 84 minutes gone! Seemed like Brazil were playing badly. I mean, Costa Rica? But then they showed the qualities that have won them this competition, how many, 5 times? CR seemed to be big into the delay tactics, though that cost them in the end with the second goal. I mean, eight minutes extra time when it was supposed to be six? Where did that come from? Still, Brazil did look like they deserved their win. Got to love Coutinho! :D

Easily? To my unsophisticated eye Brazil looked a lot like Argentina until the lost time. It was nil nil at 90 minutes and like Argentina they were applying constant pressure just not finishing. Costa Rica’s goalie is a bad ass, btw.

Now that I’m a soccer lad I got opinions yo!

Brazil have been excellent for about 18 months now though.

Brazil’s celebration after the first lost time goal.
