Good choice, seems like you picked all the underdawgs...

Eng - Braz. 1:1 half time.

England, Owen, was lucky to get the first goal, helped by Brazilian defense.

Brazil will score one more goal in the 2nd half...

Brazil 1 x 1 England (Half time...)

A gift from Lucio to Owen, who puts in in past Marcos with ease puts England ahead on the 23rd minute

On injury time Rivaldo makes a pass to the net on a great personal play from Ronaldihno, who sets Rivaldo and touches before Englnd's defense can do anything to cover. Seaman attempted to reduce the space to no avail as Rivaldo had already put it past him.

A tight game, Brazil dominating a bit but England covering every available space and most of the time winning the ball in midfield. Brazil relentlessly continues the attack.

It seems to me England will have to go forward more or rely on the errors of the Brazilian defense... Brazil need to continue putting the pressure on England's defense and make "first touch" plays as it seems it is the only possible way... also, open the wings, not try so much through the center... I know they are great players, but so are the English defense

On to the second half...
