Shared language. Explosive teams. It had the appearances of being the most exciting match of the group play round. Too bad neither team needed to win to advance. So the match ended up being a snoozefest. Elano injured, Kaká out on red card from previous match, Robinho resting – the outcome was not surprising. Hopefully these two giants win their matches, advance and meet again on the other side in what will prove to be a much more exciting contest (all the more if the Seleçáo Brasileiro is victorious). Chances are low for Portugal with Messi & Argentina standing in their way but it’s been a strange tourney.
