Subject: RE: BS: Football World Cup 2006
I think the Brazilians toughest test will come against an African team. from the way I look at it African appreciation of football is very much like the South American style of play. remember how Nigeria beat Brazil and Argentina to win the gold medal at the 1996 Atlanta olympic games. African teams fumbles a lot with European teams but not South America.
the US is highly unpredictable,when you expect them to perform they don't,when you don't expect them they do.and that is a dangerous side you can never tell when they are going to be tough.
I hope this time round the English commentators don't make too much noise about one player.last world cup it was Beckham,this time it might be Rooney.
