World Cup 2010 - GROUP G (Brazil, North Korea, Ivory Coast, Portugal) **spoilers**

Wow, very impressive performance from North Korea. The Brazil coach should feel embarrassed!

LOL impressive??...come on all they did was defend for like 88 mins till they got extremely lucky with some shoddy defending by Brazil to get a goal. Before that it was all Brazil and FA from NK...yeh they did admirably to defend like crazy for near enough 90mins but hardly impressive;).
 
Same as Rooney then :p

LOL well i wouldnt go that far...Rooney is very good at scoring goals...Fabiano i wasnt that impressed with him...maybe he will score a few in the next game to settle his nerves but really tonight he should have bagged a few.
 
So a lacklustre performance by Portugal and Ivory Coast see them get a point each and an excellent performance by North Korea see them bottom of the group :(

Football is so unfair sometimes. Portugal and Ivory Coast should have points deducting for that game earlier!!
 
North Korea are a much better side than people give them credit for. I'm pretty happy with my bet on them to qualify from the group @ 16/1.

Sure it was almost a fairy-tale for NK tonight, but will they be able to do it again, twice?

I'd say it's more likely that either Ivory Coast or Divergal will win against them.

Some days I think Wenger has a point about rewarding attacking play and goal scoring.

Not sure what someone is on about NK only defending for 88 minute, when they got the ball they went directly forward every time, the only big problem was they seemed to panick and shoot from 30 yards pretty often when its 3 against 4, or not terrible odds, when they did play through Brazils defence they made chances and looked dangerous, but describing them as defending for 88 minutes is utter rubbish.

You'll defend more against Brazil than other teams because they'll attack more, they most certainly didn't stick 11 men behind the ball and kick the ball up the field without chasing it like Inter do, they played pretty decent football.

Likewise, Robinho was the best player on the pitch, with Maicon close behind, Kaka was absolutely terrible throughout, as was Melo.

NK certainly gave a great account of themselves and I was thinking at 1-0, even if they sucumb to a 5-0 drubbing they still played very well in the first half and certainly gave a good account of themselves, at 2-1, they did exceptionally well.
 
Well done to North Korea, their performance definitely merited a goal so I'm glad they got it and gave Brazil a bit of a scare. It looked to be quite an entertaining match overall from what I saw of it.

lol wut. did i watch a different game or something ? they where playing some great counter attacks . in fact i didnt see them hold it up or hoof the ball upfield once. they always seemed to run straight forward as soon as they got possession. the wingers where looking great until it got to the crossing
 
I think great counter attacks is glorifying it a bit...occasionally they got the ball, ran forward and got tackled. They played amazingly as a team though, very well organised. Can see them frustrating the other two if they keep it up.

Spot on...i didnt see much from NK going forward...soon as they got into the Brazil half, they lost the ball and then it was all brazil with the relentless pressure....NK were lucky to lose by one goal....but they did defend well soim sure they will fustrate the likes of Ronaldo and Ivory Coast.
 
I can't get enough of that Maicon goal, it was fantastic!

Also, it was nice to see Robinho wanting to play and trying, some of his footwork was amazing. Better than seeing him looking uninterested all the time!
 
Brazil gave NK no respect at all in the first half, trying to walk it into the box and shooting from range.

NK will progress from the group IMO or at least earn a lot of respect trying.
