It Shouldn't Be Allowed.

In the World Cup Brazil have beaten Chile 3-0.

By Brazilian standards the first goal scored by Juan on in the 34th minute was pretty average. From a corner the big central defender rose above the other players in the penalty area and headed the ball in the back of the net. The second was more what you would expect from Brazil. Robinho picked up the ball on a counter attack and dribbled down the left wing. He passed to Kaka who quickly played the through ball to Luis Fabiano who beat the off side trap and stroked the ball into the goal on 38 minutes. Robinho got a goal of his own in the 59th minute. Rameriz picked up the ball in the centre circle and went on a mazy run beating 6 defenders before laying off the ball to Robinho who curled it past the keeper with his first touch of the move.

Although you always felt that Brazil had a higher gear if they needed it the Chileans, to their credit, never stopped pressing and played some good football of their own even if it went unrewarded.

It wasn't enough though and Brazil go on to play the Netherlands in the quarter final which promises to be one hell of a game.
