"what roughness" I agree, maybe they were complaining about Nigeria - I only heard a radio 1-liner. The brazilian team is at a disadvantage because they are quite a bit more petite, and this is an important factor.
I've seen plenty of loose balls float across open goals in international matches so despite the "gift" nature (as I said, in women's soccer there are many more gifts like these presented) the Parlow goal arose from good anticipation and the optimism required of a striker.

Hopefully the U.S. team will lose their "lets not play rough" attitude in time to play China. I also worry that their game is not as fresh as at the start, and the many friendlies with China gives a familiarity that has to be overcome.
