I agree, Michel Bastos should play in a defensive midfield role

But Alves is not a natural left so it might cause him a lot of difficulty when he plays in the left back position even though he had played in the left back role before

What's wrong with Bastos? He held off Sanchez who is one heck of a player. I think Bastos is going to become one of the best backs in the world in no time

Nothing, he just plays in the midfield for his club sorta like Beletti, midfielder turned defender. I guess I'm just used to seeing him there

Alves? Defender? Alves?!    Nilmar might be a better defender than Alves

Brazil will step up their game in the match against Netherlands Friday, they have no choice, it's all or nothing! So maybe that match will entertain you more

Friend.... With all due respect, but I think you were watching a a total different match!
Maybe you are expecting Brazil to play fantasy football against a team like Chile, but Chile is and was a good team to play against.
You must learn that Brazil are much more strict with their play in this Wc and do not want to lose this opportunity by playing fantasy football, which is entertaining and joyful to see, but this play does not guarantee the win.
They want to win and are dead serious about that.

That's hella true fahlen! Once Again, Look How quelled They Played This Match!

Netherlands always puts up a fight. I'm Sure this time you'll See Us Brazileiros step up our game

By the way.... Brazil also showed fantasy football!  Meaning they showed some certain skills

No team in this World Cup had shown any domination so far because every team is equally strong. One thing is sure that Brazil had not dominated the ball possession in the game against Chile but they have scored the most beautiful goals. 8 goals scored so far by Brazil in the World Cup were of very quality. At present teams are mainly concerned about winning the games. Brazil may not be playing too much beautiul football, the reason is their coach want them to win the games first and next go for Fantasy game. We'll be able see more of the Samba magic in coming games

Brazil might not playing the fantasy football anymore but Fabiano's goal with the assist of Kaka' was pure art

The dutch havnt either really, its gna be all out when they meet going to be a very exciting match!

Ooooh I'm schvitsing!

Not full potential? If so, the same can be said to the Dutch

Hehe yeah.... If they can both bring out the best of each other, it's gonna' be a great game Friday!

It won't be end to end stuff. Won't be exiting, just 2 teams who are cautious of each other. Brazil will keep most the possession, the dutch will hold back and try to counter attack. Bit like the brazil portugal game. Won't be that exiting to watch

Werd

My fav ref. He look so strong and firm. Good policeman

Absolutely. Leave it to three Eng officials to keep that game on a square and honest footing. Webb was having none of the monkey business
