[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 233912, member: 545"] I have to eat crow and admit Brazil outplayed England. The English goal and the 2nd Brazilian goal were 'lucky' misplays. The 1st Brazilian goal was also a little bit lucky on sloppy Brit play with 1 minute left in the half but the play in front of the box to set it up was classic Brazil. Any team that is one man up and look so uninspired once they have pushed the ball up to ~35 yards from the goal deserves to lose. Brazil's rather unsteady defense deserves a lot fo credit for pulling that off. The only time England looked consistently dangerous is on Beckman's beautiful curving corner kicks. You can't count on that to win you games. I still think Brazil is beatable, although I favor them now to go to the final and win. That atrocious misplay for the English goal and that left back that was beaten about a dozen times puts a question mark on the Brazilian defense. [/QUOTE]
