Pretty damn lucky to play almost an entire half down a man with only a 1 goal advantage.  Wasn't necessarily pretty but they got the job done.  For awhile with all the yellow cards being handed out it reminded me of the old one-liner:  I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out!

We play Ecuador on Thursday @ 9:30 pm ET on FS1.

Its stunning to me that Brazil was eliminated with a handball goal. They have been at the top for so very long.

Ehh Brazil hasn't been a world force in quite some time now.

You can be as wrong as you wabt to be. Just go look at their overall record.

They haven't won a World Cup since 2002. They haven't won the Copa America since 2007. They have never won the Olympics, which doesn't mean a whole lot in soccer anyway. Brazil is not what they once were. Spain was the dominant force 8-10 years ago. Now it is Germany. You can be as wrong as you want to be, though.

#8 in the current FIFA rankings is not too bad.
