Futebol is not a game of luck. Rivaldo missed two shots by few cm, is this Scotland's "luck"? Brasil played with a lot of weight on their shoulders. Its hard to samba with that much pressure, they played cautious nervous futebol. Next time maybe they will loosen up and dance like the old Brasilerios. Scotland is valiant but have no real skills; they stopped attacking after Ronaldo and Rivaldo missed scoring chances, Scotland's midfield camped on their own penalty area. It's always easier to destroy than create that's why the score was just 2x1.

I also will add that Mor. looked very weak in the final 15 minutes - you were right - they looked very tired - sloppy passing and no build up whatsoever. Noticed that the Mor. keeper used the same technique as the Norwegian keeper did in the 1st half - drop ball, push it up and kick it far... But Mor. looks quite good - temperamental bunch though... I rememeber Denmark playing very well a few years ago when they looked impressive doing the passing thing - but no longer certain. Perhaps the N. Europeans use the long ball because they are just a lot taller than most... Mario Zagallo used to coach Kuwait I think + others - he's been around... - he actually coached Brazil sometime ago didn't he?
