This is because there more money in in those countries, and Brazil have an abundance of players to choose from, I could grab a 2nd rated players from Brazil and stick them in the A-league that would embarrass these teams.

I could say take out all the non Brit's in Chelsea and what are you left with? You cant buy your way into the World Cup.

If you are all going to base Brazilian standards on one game, then how come then Argentina held them to 1-0 in the final. One would have expected easy win by Germany. Once in a while teams capitulated....does that ring a bell! That will never happen again in our lifetime, and if it did, it wont be Brazil.

Watching that game, the Brazilians were there own worst enemy, with out Nemar. I don't want to steer you away from my comments which I standby, because that's my opinion, as you have yours.

If the Brazilian League standard is so low, then why is it that so many players are playing in Europe, is that because they come from a poor league, and if they did, why are they selected? You have to learn your craft somewhere. Brazil is a poor country, in money terms, however its the richest country in football talent.

Even though Germany are the World Cup champions, Brazil are still King of the World Game.

You were rating competitions, not individual players ability. The Brazilian league is not even close to the standard of leagues you had it ranked above and part of the reason is, as you state, all the good Brazilian players, dont play in it. I don't think anyone is arguing that Brazil porduces incredible talent. So in stead you should be ranking 'football talent' by country. Not leagues.

The Joker might have played a few mind games with Murray but for the big Scot to use Novak's limping around as a not-an-excuse excuse denies reality. Andy dumped forehand after forehand into the net throughout the latter part of the third set and virtually all of the fourth set. His unforced error rate went through the roof for a top player.

He was probably distracted by how much of a mouthful he was going to get later that night from Kim.

Or vice versa...

Djokovic's apparent physical battle was a brilliant mind game, but it was obviously that. He was "struggling" between points but was just as on song as ever during them. Murray seemed to lose it when he couldn't take advantage of an apparently struggling opponent, but I have no idea how he couldn't see through it. Amazing really.

Its the fakest injury ive seen in sport, worse than any soccer injury. He was clipping his own ankles deliberately then falling over. Ludicrous.

Great result, but what were the Seahawks thinking calling a pass on 2nd and goal from the one inch line!

The awfulness of that playcall made up for the ridiculous fluke catch. What a disaster

I hardly even watch tennis but even I know he does this stuff all the time, but it seems commentators call him 'gone' every time and experienced opponents get 'fooled' WTF

I guess the commentators have a certain professional responsibility to play dumb about that sort of thing. But yeah, hard to see why it works on opponents.

I know you're exaggerating your disinterest ever so slightly here but in essence I agree with you.

I recently went to the Mambo: 30 years of shelf-indulgence exhibition at the NGV.

With their Australian Jesus and Mambo Theology designs I can't believe that their offices haven't been fire bombed and Reg and Dare machine gunned by some peace loving Christians.
