I read many remarks of people dogging Brazil after their victory over Australia. How Australia, missed so many opportunities. And it could've been tied 2-2. If we continue to play this "could've" game then the score "could've" been 4-2 Brazil Victory. Brazil missed many opportunities to score also! (One ball even hit the post!). Everyone seems to forget that! Also, you have to understand that the teams that usually make it to the world cup are descent teams and atleast know how to taticly play the game. And if they face the world champions they play like they are playing a final. Every team wants to do well against Brazil. A tie against Brazil for Australia would be almost like winning the entire World Cup. Australia on the first half would attack then run their entire team back on defence. (That's what Croatia did also). I don't care how good Brazil is, if they dont have space they most likely are not getting through. On the second half that Australian strategy didn't work. The Australians were very tired. Space started opening up and Brazil went for the kill. And yes i'm impressed that you did well on the first half, but guess what, 30 - 100 years from now, all people will see in the records is that you lost 2-0.
