Same here; Brazil does not have my voice since 2002 ;) + they've been World Champion often enough. North Koreas game is good imo - not as good as the South Korean's, but very fair and even sort of ambitious every now and then.

Bad keepers mistake, that first goal. Good job for North Korea to prevent any goals in the first half. But an average performance of great Brazil.

Hehe, 2:1!!!

It is not a mistake, more the quality of the player and his great shot instead. Most goalkeepers waited for a pass in the center of the area, so it is not his fault; it was a great goal.

Best game so far IMO. I am satisfied.

Agreed, that was the most entertaining game thus far -- amplified by the fact that everyone expected N. Korea to be complete pushovers

Number 9 from North Korea cried while they were playing his national anthem.

It shows they love and suffer for their country, something to consider when my yank friends invade their country. Hope North Korea advances to the next round.

But the keeper was standing "almost right", he saw the brazil player run with the ball way down in the right corner and all he needed was to place himself one step closer to his goal and he would have had a chance. Plus it would not really have meant a worse position if the brazil player passed the ball to another one one in the centre, would have been the same alsmost. Hard to explain in english.... Good goal though, of course but not what I expected from Brazil. Wait for Spains performance now.

I don't agree, the ball takes the curve and it was a powerful shot. The goalkeeper cant do everything, it was supposed a north korea defender was in that place to close the angle.

Brazil's performance was, despite the fact that the first goal was a great one, below average. The koreans should habe played a bit more foward (and should have done so earlier); nevertheless their goal was a great one too, and I also hope they'll reach ne next round!

Well still the first goal is kind of the goalie's fault, he should kinda know by then that Brazil will do more shots on goal then passes since 90% of Brazil's passes in the attack didn't work out. Loved the North Korean fighting spirit, shame they didn't win. Brazil was pretty poor, they seriously need to up their game. Also is anybody else here also getting annoyed by the offside rule? it really drags the game.
