Brazil vs. Japan 4:1

So that's the inevitable outcome: Brazil vs. Japan 4:1.
Japan played quite good in the first half and after Tamada scored the 1:0 for Japan (!) in the 34th minute, incurable optimists might already have believed in a victory for Japan but then followed the equaliser from Ronaldo in the 46th and from then on everything went downhill for the 'samurais in blue'. It was a real football feast for the Brazilians with three more goals in the second half ending in the - for Japan - disastrous result. Too bad for I'd have loved to see some more from the team that almost beat Brazil in the Confederations Cup 2005 but for that Japan'd have had to beat Croatia in the last game...


They should have put him in the goal instead of Kawaguchi, I'm sure none of the samba-boys would have dared then to even come close to the Japanese box...
