J César - 7, good when needed.

Maicon - 7
Lúcio - 8
Juan - 8
Bastos - 4 (his best game so far)

Gilberto Silva - 7
Ramirez - 8
Daniel Alves - 4
Kaká - 7, still out of form, but decisive. player with more assists in this WC alongside Müller.

Robinho - 7
Luis Fabiano - 7

Ramirez didn't get a 9 because of that silly yellow that took him out of the game against Holland. I thought during the game that he would get Melo's place as a starter against Holland. At least Elano may be back.

I am pretty glad no one rates us. Brasil is only talking about the semies. While we are capable to beat them.

We are the only country who can do that.

???

no one in Brazil think we are already in the semis. the portuguese here seem to think so though.

Portuguese, brazilian..t'is all the same.

Anyway. Robben v Maicon aint a good idea but Dunga wont let Bastos play against Robben, that would be suicide. Holland has to put the Dirkster on Maicon. He will nullify Maicon for sure. So no fatty on the left side.

take care of their full backs, put an extra man on kaka , let Silva and Melo have the ball, they wont be able to do shit with it. And Robinho and Fabiano are isolated.

This is a very weak Brazil, yet so freckin strong.

This is a 50-50 game. Losing to Holland would not be a disgrace. It can happen.

This will be our hardest game, in fact this reminds me 94, where the quarterfinals were more difficult than the semis. IF WE BEAT you than we will be with no doubt one of the hot favorites.

Nah not 50/50. Bookeis give Brazil win evens and Holland win 3/1. That's a bit over the top too. Braz are fav but not that much.

62-38 IMO

Whoever wins this match is a huge favorite to win the semi final against Uruguay/Ghana too

it's very good to live in a footballing nation. I've just received an e-mail from one of the managers of the company I work for sayin we'll have no work on friday due to the importance of the quarter-final game.

First team...its feckin Brazil. Only Spain/Argies/Germans left as good teams. Dont really rate Holland but dont see why they are much worse then those..certainly Germany should be beatable.

You must forgive that, it's because we're so used to kick'em out of the tournaments

No, but seriously we're just messing with them Dutch, the game will be very hard and it might even get rough. It's really a 50/50.

Not meant in a derogatory way. I meant that while I work 11 hours/day in HK I dream about working few hours/day in other places in the world, e.g. brazil, while spending the rest of the time hanging out at the beach with beautiful women. Don't shatter the dream .

I'd say it's 55/45 for brazil.

I work between 8 and 12 hours a day. and no, I don't live near the beach (and I don't want to). but yeah, there are many beautiful women around to hang out with.

hehe.
the one time I've been in Brazil, I only stayed in Bahia state.
Once I met a Sao Paulo couple on holiday.
They worked for a broadcast network and told me that at times they dreamed of living in Salvador as "they hardly worked up there".

That's a fact.

I've a nice story about cultural differences. Brazilian woman gets a job in Holland and starts living here. Can't settle, gets indentity problems/lack of confidence, even needs a shrink. Problem can not cope with the men around her flirting too litlle. Returns to Brazil. Happy again

that's very true. Brazilian women I know who've been to northern european countries are shocked the men do not flirt.

Brazilian men are flirting all the time, no matter if they are single or married. they all flirt.

and my brother said when he was in germany he whistled in good humour to a cute German girl in the street. she stopped, turned to him and gave him the finger.

they seem to be offended if you express your desire. why?

a girl friend of mine also said when she was in Poland her Polish friend thought she spent too much time trying different clothes, making up, waxing, etc. apparently, the Polish girl thought she was being sexist, doing all those things, having all that work because of men.

but she wasn't. Brazilian girls do those things because it's cultural here. they gotta feel they are attractive to feel alright with themselves. and I have to admit I love it. it's so feminine and sexy.
