Brazil / Ronaldo
poor poor poor. Croatia may be a better side than Paraguay, but what's for sure is that they came much closer to scoring than Paraguay did against us - three chances which they hit straight at the keeper, plus that two-on-one when he bizarrely failed to cross, plus at least 3 set-pieces where Brazil didn't pick up the runner at all. A better side than Croatia would have filled their boots.
May show that we're both sh*t but Brazil are even worse than us - more likely is that you should be careful judging teams on a singe performance.
As for Ronaldo - thing is he's been just like that for two seasons now. Strolls around looking bored, winds the Madrid fans up something rotten - then scores.
Will be interesting to see whether Parreira has as much patience as recent Madrid coaches have....
