Brazil vs. South Africa (Live Report & Link)

[KC McElroy]

Robinho's back heel returns Santos's pass, but his touch lets him down.

[Hosseini]

Well we both can. PFDC users will get two perspectives on the game.
Tshabalala really is a first class name. Apparently he has brothers called Po and Tinky Winky.

[KC McElroy]

Tshabalala's cross is just too strong for Parker. He is not a better player than Benni McCarthy.

[Hosseini]

modise has a run but brazil defence get the ball.

[KC McElroy]

Robinho works some space running away from goal across the right hand side of the aerea, and Mokoena does very well to block.

[KC McElroy]

South Africa have defended very well, but you'd have expected Brazil to find a way through at some point and create a chance.

[KC McElroy]

Booth - who has one of the longest necks I've seen and looks like one of hammerheads from Return to Oz - knocks the ball out of play, but is awarded the throw anyhow, much to Fabiano's consternation.

[KC McElroy]

Brazil get the ball into the box, and are crowded out by excellent pressure from the South African defenders.

[KC McElroy]

Modise shoots from miles out, and the ball flies equally far from the goal.

[Hosseini]

i guarantee this game will go to extra time.

its the min. 83

[KC McElroy]

Melo is robbed by Modise and Lucio is then adjudged to have fouled Pienaar, which elicits a tantrum. It's been bothering me all night, and I'm pleased to say I've at last realised who Lucio reminds me of - it's Ivan Lendl. And another thing I've just noticed. The very front of Dunga's hair hides the baldness that lies behind it. Good effort, but not good enough.

[Hosseini]

OHH. foul on brazil player. about 19 meter freekick.

[KC McElroy]

At last Brazil show something. Kaka drives at the defence, feeds it into Ramires, and he's fouled on the edge of area, to the left hand side.

[Hosseini]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL
