    Jesus Brazil can't defend for ****e, but Argentina aint much better, Brazil have some close twice.

    p.s. I'm watching this on NBC, and I ****e you not, they have ad breaks in the middle of the half!!! They were on a 3 minute ad break for the second goal. What the **** like.

    They are effectively playing him as a holding defensive midfielder. It would be like playing Scholes in that position, its just stupid. Typical Brazil though. 4 attacking midfielders on the pitch.

    Did Brazil just have a goal disallowed?

    Welcome to US television. They went to two ad breaks during the women's 800m freestyle and three during the men's 1500m freestyle last week in the swimming. Fooking joke.

    It's all about the $$$. Their coverage has been an absolute disgrace - they didn't show either 100m sprint finals live, and they don't put them online until after they've shown them in east-coast US primetime 8pm - 12am. Most of the athletics finals are on in the morning here, and NBC don't show them until that night, by which time everyone knows the result but you can't see it. :mad: Thank God for CBC (Canada).

    I just hope people don't misquote me, I'm NOT saying Anderson is shi*e, but he has been terrible this tournament.

    Speaking of Anderson, he's trying to get booked now to get out of the 3rd place playoff :) I can see a red card for him before the end of this match.

    Just caught the highlights there.

    Lucas can;t complain about his sending-off really- twas a definite yellow card.

    The Neves sending off tho looked a bit shaky.

    RTE showed the wimmins final live yesterday, so I assume they'll show the mens too.

    Half time can't come fast enough for Brazil. They have done nothing since the goal. Ronaldinho doesn't look fit.
