The transformation of Dunga
From dung to dungerer: the Brazil coach Dunga and all of his technical staff have been dismissed by the Brazilian Football Federation after their 2-1 capitulation to Holland in their World Cup quarter-final. Dunga returned home with the team earlier today and was met with muted applause and cheering by fans in his native Porto Alegre in southern [...]

Holland 2-1 Brazil
Yes, yes, yes. The first Brazilian own-goal in 97 World Cup matches, from the head of Felipe Melo, set up the victory with which Holland finally avenged their defeat at Brazil's hands in the semi-finals 12 years ago. Arjen Robben played a role in setting up both goals, the second of them scored by Wesley Sneijder, while also provoking the [...]
Back when it was fun to watch Brazil
In 1986 people from around the world still really wanted Brazil to win the World Cup. Now no one gives a shit. I've always loved this goal although I didn't see it live as it was on during the middle of the night. Pat Jennings was 41 at the time but was still quality, which makes the goal that much better. I think Josimar was supposed to be [...]

Here's a thought for you: Reflecting on the Chile vs Brazil game yesterday, it occurred to me that the player suspension rules [...]
Portugal 0-0 Brazil
Boring, boring, boring. A thoroughly mean-spirited goalless draw with few scoring chances was highlighted by a blizzard of seven yellow cards in the first half. I hope neither of these teams goes much further.

Brazil 3-1 Ivory Coast
Mega cheat Luís Fabiano 'scored' twice and Kaká was controversially sent off as the Samba Boys qualified and left Ivory Coast in jeopardy. Brazil picked up their 10th red card at the World Cup, a joint-record with fellow South American cheats Argentina. Brazil 3 - Ivory Coast 1 - Watch more Videos at Vodpod.
Brazil 2-1 North Korea
North Korea are the only Asian team to have scored 3 goals in a World Cup match - when they lost 5-3 to Portugal in 1966. That record remains intact. Two breathtaking goals help lowly Brazil squeeze past a spirited North Korea side. Indeed, Brazil have won all 15 of their World Cup matches against sides from outside Europe and South America, [...]
