Hey guys, some of you seem to think this thing is still going. It's not, we lost.
I'm now rooting for sPAIN.
Brasil + Spain Parlay =
BRAZIL MIDFIELD IN CRISISBrazil's midfield depth will be tested in its quarterfinal match against the Netherlands, as Elano has been ruled out and the statuses of Felipe Melo and Julio Baptista are very much in question as all three are nursing injuries.Elano, who absorbed a hard tackle against the Ivory Coast and has a bone bruise in his ankle, was forced to leave training Tuesday and has been ruled out for the upcoming match by Brazil's team doctor.Felipe Melo, who hurt his ankle against Portugal, is doubtful for the game against the Dutch, and Julio Baptista is also battling an injury ahead of Friday's contest. All three players missed the Selecao's last game against Chile.Making matters worse for Dunga, Ramires is suspended for the match against the Dutch after picking up his second yellow card of the tournament against Chile. The healthy/non-suspended midfielders remaining on Brazil's roster are Gilberto Silva, Kaka, Josue and Kleberson, though defender Dani Alves has been used as a right-side midfielder in the last two matches.
they're gonna win by like 6 anyway

Robben can strike at almost anytime and if they can somehow get an early lead I can see them holding on due to their technical ability, consistency and focus they've shown throughout. they just don't give the ball away. also don't be surprised if Brazil comes out of this game w/ more injuries. the Dutch defensive mid, De Jong, is a harsh tackler and broke American Stu Holden's leg in a friendly back in early March.http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/blog.php?b=7740

Maradona was declaring that "if we win the World Cup, I'll get naked and run around the obelisk" in the center of Buenos Aires.
