Did you see the frantic nature in which the Brazil team started the game last night? In the deluge and capitulation that followed, you could be pardoned not to have read the stark need to win, calligraphed in the eyes of the Seleccao, more so in their stand-in captain, David Luiz. An undoubted MVP in the dispatching of an exciting Colombia side, his mane of hair will not escape the staturisation of the worst day in Brazils favourite sport and pastime. But no one can fault Luizs passion, only the bigger Luiz calling shots from the by-line, should have known better entrusting an expensive potion of hope to a jar of clay when he gave the captains band to an error-prone maverick like Luiz. Thats not the whole story though. When the Brazilian aficionadoes all over the world recover from the reverie, it will not be hard to convince them that, bar the miniature of the Confederations Cup, the current squad over achieved at this tournament. Their best player, Neymar, would only do with a bench position, perhaps start a third game in a team already qualified if he was contemporary to the 2002 squad...(My phone rings, my lunch date is here...so I have to ellipsize the rest and jump to the conclusion) The Daily Mail UK, reports there have been fights in Brazilian streets. The 7-1 battery, will only add incense to the demonstrations that almost became epithetic of the Brazil World Cup until matters on the pitch intervened. Reporting for ESPN.Com Malawi, this is Nyama Lee. hehehe
