Italy scored 2 goals in group play in 1982 then went on to win the best WC I've seen.
In that era, that was a personal best, so it was pretty likely they would win it.

Brazil is already qualified to the next round. They probably don't really care if they lose this game. They want to save their strength for their next big game.Originally posted by Flubber

'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

If you think I didn't know that you are NOT paying much attention. They would probably prefer to win though so that there is no chance they finish second in their group and face a 1st round matchup with Italy. I would think they would rather face Ghana although that leads to a likely second round tilt with SpainOriginally posted by The diplomat

How was the holding of Viduka no penalty?
FIFA is so messed up. Their primary worry is players blocking a free kick and shooting after the ref. whistled yet somehow they miss to give out the order to strictly act against holding in the penalty area...

Braaaaazilllll 1-1
I know stats can be deceiving but consider these
Shots 12-4
Shots on Goal 7-1
Corner Kicks 7-1
Possession 62-38%
ALL in favor of Brazil-- It may be a tie game but on these stats I would think that Brazil is dominating.

Go Aussies!
I tried to watch it on the big projection screens at school, but both sites were showing Japan/Brazil. What insanity!

Brazil 3 Japan 1
I take back what I said. Brazil is kicking ass.'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams.

Oh well, we got a gutsy draw against Italy at any rate. It seems we go the 2nd round ever other WC and this was our down year... though far better than 1998.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
