it was a Beauty. From distance with power and control.

Got a taste of Samba football from Brazil in Houston. But you couldn’t help but think Brazil dodged the bullet yesterday. That JAPAN team was sensational -a candidate for at least a semifinal spot.

Brazil dominated the first 15 minutes, but after they couldn’t penetrate, they became frustrated and slowly Japan gained the momentum. That team is so skillful and disciplined. They are not losing formation, no matter what happens on the field.
