Brazil vs. Peru - Could someone take Ronaldinho off the pitch?
By Ana on Nov 18, 2007 in 2010 World Cup Qualifiers
This will be an angry post: It truly sucks when you buy a game on pay-per-view and your team plays a shitty match. It would suck even more if I had traveled to Peru just to see a horrible Brazilian squad face the brave Peruvians. To see Brazil tie a game (1-1) playing the horrible football they played today, shows how much some players lack commitment. Seriously Dunga, it is time to open your eyes and see who is playing well and who is not.
Peru was fighting the whole time. Brazil was unrecognizable. Bad passes, lack of good touches and poor defense gave Peru a lot of space to attack. Overall, the Brazilian players were at least trying, but it is hard when your midfield is dead. Ronaldinho was 99% of time jogging on the field and Robinho did stupid dribble tricks that took him nowhere. Kaka was an exception. He scored the Brazilian goal in a master play, well done.
And on top of a weak midfield, which could not properly reach the forwards, Brazil’s very reliable defender, Lucio, was having a bad day. He was the one who ended up scoring in his own goal, giving the tie up to the Peruvians. Poor day.
My hopes went up right on the end. On the last second of the second half, Juan almost scored the winning Brazilian goal, but the ball hit the post. Juan, by the way played an amazing match and saved Brazil from taking another one in several times.
Now Brazil falls to the third spot on the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, behind number one Argentina and number two Paraguay. When will Dunga realize there are quality players on the bench, who could do a better job than what some players (Ronaldinho) did today?
