Quite harsh but very true comment, liking it.

Perhaps we should rename Ronaldo to Rotundo - it might be a better fit!

"But when your centre-forward has more chins that attempts"

Hilarious.

This "RONALDO IS A FATTY" bandwagon that everybody seems to be jumping on in the hope of getting a cheap laugh has grown incredibly tiresome.

Ronaldo was a disgrace yesturday,he hardly moved at all jogging arond.Shame really because he was a truly great player.

Your final paragraph is right. Brazil does treat the group stage as a warm-up.

useless how right motson has had his day does anyone remember how rubbish he was commentating on the 5-1 in germany please no more.......alan green.make a move son!!!!

If I wasn't watching the pictures when I had the TV on I could have sworn Brazil were winning 12-0 or something, does Motson have a Grandma from there or something?

When they weren't fawning over the team in yellow, I couldn't hear anything else except chuckling from the two commentators. I'm not sure what they found funny, because it certainly wasn't any of the jokes they told

Completely agree with joe jackson on the 大象传媒's fawning over Brazil. Lawro in particular was beginning to turn my stomach. Of course they're talented, but that doesn't mean they can't be a bit shite sometimes, or that commentators and pundits should be unwilling to say so.

Croatia ran them close, but both teams were unimpressive and Brazil, heaped with praise and hype, remain clearly beatable. Whether England can raise their game enough is questionable, but others, particularly Argentina, must really fancy their chances against them.

using their pre-match 'training session' for a kickabout so they can show off playing keepy-uppy for the thousands of worshippers smacks of over-confidence. I hope their come-uppance beckons, but unless Australia can play out of their skins, we'll have to wait a while.

Thankfully, John Helm is doing a fine job from Germany. And speaking of Ronaldo, his name has never been synonymous with fitness - imagine if it did.

Those trying to deny that Ronaldo is fat are kidding themselves, it was obvious he is well overweight.

Downright lethargic is the best way I can describe Ronaldo's performance. What of Adriano? he looks like a mere shell of the dynamo we have seen in the last two years. Robinho should be starting.

It was with great disappointment that I watched Brazil forwards moving like old men and I just can't understand why Parreira did not put Robinho to start the second half as he certainly deployed a lot of fluidity in the attack, though too late. After the episode of Ronaldo's blisters, I won't be surprised if one finds out that Ronaldo was replaced that late because of commercial pressure from Nike which have a lot of explanation to give about their boots...

Ronaldo, overweight or not he just wasn't bothered. Adriano was 'trying' but was equally awful.

Brazil need reminding that Joga Bonito is for posers and wins nothing.

I was once a fan of the 大象传媒's football coverage but now i just find it embarrassing. It's like watching The Office.

IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND! IN-GER-LAND!

What a load of tripe.
Brazil are not as good at the back apart from Carlos.
All you have to do is long ball em and you've got a chance.
Croatia just needed the striker to play deep, like the goal hanging 5+ Ronaldo & Co, counter atack and I think you really have a chance against them.
Brazil ARE NOT UNBEATABLE!

Dei Dei Drogba is making is performing good. He will be the hero in the next match and proof himself. I Love watchig him while playing.

I CAN NOW BELIEVE THAT, WOLRD CUP IS MORE THAN WHAT AFRICAN COUNTRIES CAN DREAM OF WINNING THE GOLD. LETS CPOUNT, HOW MANY GOALS BEEN PRODUCE BY AFRICAN CLUBS?

The Brazilians need to concentrate on the next match and on their opponent. If they do that they can beat anybody without Ronaldo. But I kind of get the impression that their minds reached the final already.

Brazil may not be unbeatable, but at least it looks like they can play with a 9-man squad and still win all the games in their group. Croatia was supposed to be the hardest one, go figure. People tend to write off Ronaldo and then he just appears to net the ball, overweight as he is. I wish any of the other teams would beat Brazil but it will take more than wishful thinking.

It was actually good to see how Brazil defended in numbers when they needed to.

This was a great game!

Ur... I don't think Brazil are very good. Honestly the Czechs look better. Stop the fawning 大象传媒.

Couldn't agree more but only if it is an XL

over rated, over paid and over weight

Absolutely agree with the comments on Brazil above. Their training sessions have turned into circus shows, and they played their friendlies against amateur teams and... New Zealand. They look under-prepared.

Australia will beat Brazil 3-2. I look forward to you all congratulating me on my accurate prediction.

Cheers
