Brazil vs North Korea (Group G - Tuesday - 7:30pm - RTE/ITV)

Dean820

Never seen North Korea's sponsors before. Is it a government symbol or something?

_Bella_

The long shots have been embarassing so far

Ferris_Bueller

Don't think Brazil are going to break sweat tonight, look to be very relaxed.

No they have a proper shirt supplier.

youcrazyjesus!

Is it just me or did Robinho look like he's been having a lot of craic recently.

Oat23

Drives a silver hummer and idolises 2 pac?

MagicMarker

Possible stupid question, but do any of the N.Korean lads play outside N. Korea?

Peyton Manning

Loving the 2pac reference on ITV. Last thing I expected to hear tonight!

Mars Bar

Brazil will have to hit the back of the net soon. Korea won't be able to keep soaking up the pressure.

2 of them do - one in Russia, the other in Japan.

Just for anyone who is watching on ITV and was curious after Clyde Tyldsley's comments regarding Jong Tae Se's two "breathtaking goals" against Greece, here they are:

Well taken.

Must be 3 of them as George said at the start that 8 of the team are playing in North Korean league.

Peyton Manning

The lads on ITV said it was only 2 - Jong Tae Se and An Yong Hak.

Disappointed so far!

Got money on Fabiano for Golden Boot so kind of need this to be a comfortable win.

Those 2 play in the J-League is what they meant. The captain, Hong Yong-Jo, plays in Russia.

Two of the squad play in Japan and one lad in Russia.

The captain plays with Rostov in Russia too

WTF is Dunga wearing!?

Kiwi_knock

Never trust the info of ITV, sure Robbie Earle was only giving his tickets to a few friends of his

Great attitude there by Elano...

Thats the way to react when your teammate makes a mistake.

Dean820

North Korea are playing better than I thought they would and Brazil much worse.

An Aran jumper I reckon...

Kaka having a shocker.

Zombienosh

this looks like another boring match

Mars Bar

The Brazilians are playing it too narrow or something. Koreans are doing brilliantly, they have so much pace...

Cypher_sounds

That Korean no.9 looks a decent striker showing good pace, would like to see what hes like in front of goal

Oat23

This is dreadful, absolutely dreadful.

I turned off the Italy match at half time last night and I think I'll be doing the same tonight.

Hopeless.

Cypher_sounds

On ya go, im enjoying this game:)

Nalz

Hong and Jong eh! Doin their stuff

Mars Bar

I'm liking the pace of the game. More upbeat, particularly when the Koreans get on the attack. That no. 9 is a livewire!

Is it that Kaka misplaced one or two passes or just that your not happy that brazil aren't winning

Zombienosh

brazil are pure tits, korea however are a nice surprise. i hope they win.

Kev_ps3

Fair play to N Korea. Doing themselves proud

Dean820

Great pressure from North Korea.

Dont be at yourself

This has been a fascinating game so far, and is what the world cup is all about. Naysayers, quit your moaning.

KELTICKNIGHTT

the brazilaians are playing poor,lacking,the the koreans are able too play more because of it,hope this world cup gets better

Dean820

That striker looks brilliant for North Korea.

Stevecw

North Korea are doing good. Brazil are muck so far. With players like Gilberto Silva and Elano on their team it shouldn't be much of a surprise tho. Can see now how Lucas got a few caps in the last year or 2.

I for one salute our new Asian overlords.

The Koreansa and Japanese really know how to close down.

I think it's the fact that there's 38 minutes gone and Brazil are limited to shots from outside the box.

Well done to Korea, but I want to see some goals. 4 days into the world cup and bar 3-4 games the tournament has been horrendous.

Hank_Jones

This has 0-0 written all over it at this stage.

x in the city

LOI division 1 is better that this shoite we have to put up with

Mars Bar

Jaysus, Koreans aren't afraid to close down the ball quickly!

Reminds me more of Barca - Inter champions league semi-final, but each to their own!

TouchingVirus

Is it just me or does there seem to be considerably less vuvuzela noise. On several occasions I can hear the crowd Oooooing and ahhhing when North Korea or Brazil have a chance. It's great!

Mars Bar

Brazil are like schoolboys around the box, all just following the ball.

Mr.Nice Guy

This World Cup stinks so far. Thank goodness for the Germans and Argentina and roll on the Spain game.

Dean820

What odds would you have got for 0-0 at half time?

RasTa

Bye bye money.
