South Africa, which is no Ivory Coast, outplayed Brazil, as did Egypt...This game is about the midfield..Before Kaka and Fabiano can do anything, the Brazilian midfield will have to beat the Ivory Coast midfield. If Pienaar and Benard Parker can outplay the Brazilian midfield like that, tell me how they will stop Kolo Toure, Yaya Toure, Kalou, Emmanuel Eboue etc...Portugal's Ronaldo was stopped in midfield, not in the backline.. If you let that man get loose on the backline, you are gonna pay a price, as Ivory Coast almost did when he cracked the upright. Also, keep in mind that Drogba will play the whole Brazil game. Brazil like to shorten the midfield by bringing up their backline and attacking from it. This has been their suicide against France. France with those Africans it has fielded since 1982, has had the speed to punish Brazil.. and hence the Brazil's record of 0 for... since that day...If Brazil want to make the game a footrace between Juan/ Lucio vs Drogba, let them go ahead; they are about to learn why Drogba makes defenders in the premiership shake...
