Brazil not good; North Korea not bad.
Still haven't seen a team as good as Germany.

I get a bit niggled by the media romanticisation of Brazil. When were they last really attractive to watch - 1982? We always get the 'samba football' cliches, then a disciplined but rather dullish performance. Most of the players are European-based these days and used to very tight and tactical European styles, but still we get the old clips of Pele and Co before each match as though we're in for a treat. North Korea did well until they ran out of steam.

I still fancy Spain. Torres is glorious, Xavi pulls the strings and the team looks strong all the way through.

Well done North Korea and a fantastic result against Brazil. I'm sure everyone back home will be delighted to know that you are well on your way to win the World Cup!

Shocking performance by Brazil, when you consider their star players earn millions whilst most of the North Korean players are amateurs. They should have won about 10-0 in order to justify their huge status and earnings.
