One sure bet tonight............ we will see more crowd footage than for any match so far.
Everyone's second favourite team are on show and that means any number of scantily dressed brazilian females, dancing to a samba beat, whether there is music or not. The television producers love that ! If one station showed the match and another the fans, the viewing figures would be close, when the Samba Stars are in town.
Brazil have more attacking options than any other team in the world, on a "going" day, you cannot stop them. But they do concede and have only 3 clean sheets in 11 starts, both full backs have had tremendous careers, but are ageing and you can get behind them.
Rumours are that Ronaldo is fat (sans change) and has blisters, players have been out "clubbing" and the "b" team beat the first eleven in a full scale training game. I have heard it all before.
Think Brazil will win, but it may take some time, it took 43 minutes for them to breakdown the might of New Zealand in the final warm up fixture. Croatia are very well organised, only conceding five in qualification, where they remained unbeaten, the two defensive midfielders can keep Brazil at bay,for a while . Babic and Srna break very quickly and the pace of the croats can trouble Brazil, particularly if Carlos and Cafu go walkabout too often.
Think Croatia will score, I like the 2-1 scoreline to the champions, will also take a small bet on a ht/ft draw/Brazil split, but my main bet is on the half time draw. Anyway a match to savour and yes, I do mean the football, the beautiful game.
1 point Brazil 2-1 10.5 betfair
1 point draw-brazil 5.2 betfair
3 points ht draw 2.88 betfair .....good price
Good Luck.
