Damn, Kaka needs to score (little high on that). I just want to keep hearing the announcers say Kaka...

hehe.

Another great save on Robinho's shot. Anyone else watching this game get the idea that Brazil is just toying with Japan??

Yes. . all the announcers are saying that as well but they have a huge hard-on for Brazil. It would be nice to see them break out and put this game away early. I hate how the Aussie game is on at the same time, I keep switching channels

I mean, even when they mess up and it looks like they're going to lose possession they get it back and make it look like it was planned....

Free kick time... and... over the net.

Kaka is playing up a lot in the first 16 minutes of the game. They're just looking to get that first goal as quick as possible...

Japanese D is doing a good job but they are working hard...if Brazil keeps up the pressure I think they are going to crack. Brazil needs to make sure they seal off their own D or Japan might sneak one in there

Brazil is pushing their defense up quite a bit and Japan has already had a few opps on long balls. They better be careful.

It's all how you mow. My nieghbor does different patterns every few mows (left to right, diagnal, right to left, etc)...

LOL, he's not Japanese (Brazilian born actually), but he is a Japanese citizen, therefore, he can play on the team

I gather how that part works...but he's not even showing up on the roster anywhere. Kinda weird.

Is there any way for Brasil to finish second in their group?

I hope not.
