Brazil are exempt from criticism in this case - a loss and they finished second.
From about the 70th minute is was obvious IC weren't going to score the 8 goals they needed.
So surely this would encourage Portugal to come out and attack?
Nah - they just stuck every single player except Ronaldo behind the ball - as they do in each and every match in which they play.
They had nothing to lose - win and you finish top - concede and you still finish second.
Apparently the 0-0 was all they wanted. There is no acceptable reason for not pursuing the win. Brazil were passing it around at the back but Portugal had every single player except for Ronaldo behind the ball and Brazil didn't need to win. Kind of hope Spain finish top of their group now. It's all Portugal deserve for that.
Very average team who participate in very average matches.
Last World Cup they threw everyone behind the ball against England for 120 minutes. Even when England went down to 10 they were scared to commit men forward.
This World Cup - threw everybody behind the ball against IC. Conceded possession and were just boring.
The Brazil game.
Many of their qualifiers.
And that 0-0 friendly draw against that former colony of theirs.
They are without a doubt the worst national team to watch in the world. Please. Whoever is drawn against Portugal in the next round please knock the boring wankers out.
