KICK OFF!

 

[District Line]

Ronaldo misses a good scoring opportunity, him of all people.

Is this a pre-cursor of things to come, is Ronaldo going to have a 'mare of a game today ?

Have p_p_man and solid_ made the correct forecast ?

 

[District Line]

Another missed opportunity by Ronaldo !

Bad bounce, the Brazilians not getting the rub of the green.

 

[District Line]

Ronaldinio, a star of previous matches (and scorer of that amazing freak goal against England) has been completely neutralized by the Germans in this match. He's not getting a look in.

The Germans seem to have the tactics spot on.

 

[p_p_man]

Coming up to the end of the first half...

and Germany are playing much more as a team than the Brazilians.

But as you said Germany have got their tactics spot on. Those three at the back close down any Brazilian advance and it looks as though they unnerve any attack coming their way.

Maybe that's what threw Ronaldo...

Hey up! Brazil hit the bar...

I'll shut up...

 

[District Line]

Oh my word, Brazil miss again !

Hleversson (sp?) hits the bar !

 

[p_p_man]

Khan earning his money...

Half time 0 - 0

 

[p_p_man]

At last...

I can go to the toilet...

I'm burrrstiiing!

Khane makes a good shot stopping save from Ronaldo just before half-time.

Doesn't look like Brazil's day.

I am. Now if German would try harder to score instead of playing only defense something might start happening...

Seeing a slo-mo replay of Khan's save.

Doesn't look pretty or spectacular but a great reaction save with (it looks like) his right shin.

He's had a good tournament this guy.

Yes their finishing has been weak. Some of the stronger shots at goal have been quite wild and have just bounced off another player and back the way they came!

But all in all they're getting into the Brazilian area more than Brazil is getting into theirs...

Anyway second half just started...

 

[District Line]

Sleep? What's that?

Just for wimps huh ?

I hope your well fortified with vegemite and toast though.

 

[District Line]

Wooo they've picked up the pace. They're going at each other more concertedly this half.

Two good chances at the Brazilian end, one at the German end.

Another good save by Khan.

 

[District Line]

Goooaaaaaal !

Brazil scores.

Khan, after all the great saves he's made drops a clanger.

Ronaldo pounces to put Brazil ahead.

 

[bluespoke]

OOPS!

Seems Khan couldn't!

 

[bluespoke]

Gute Nacht!
