    brazil trash. good draw for south africa

    I wouldn't say that Brazil is trash, they created a whole lot of chances. South Africa's discipline, defensive and midfield formation was very impressive. That back 4 made some huge defensive plays.

    I can see Bafana Bafana moving on the next round, for as long as they keep today's style of play. This draw was a confidence and moral booster for that squad.

    teams that usually perform the way brazil just did always falls short. at the end of the day, pressure is on them to win.

    The pressure is always on Brazil when it comes to football; Brazil has never won (Gold Medal) in the history of the Olympics - I do not see them winning one this time around.

    Too much talent, too much individual play.

    Mad that Brazil never won gold, especially considerin' football is the only sport they compete in at the top level. Argentina and Uruguay have both won gold twice. Neymar got mad pressure on his shoulders

    Ajax actually ended up beating Paok in Greece, onwards to the final CL qualification round lol

    Would be awesome to have 2 Dutch teams representin in the CL again. I remember when we had 3 lol smh

    looks like mario ballotelli coming thru ajax. if true, hopefully he doesn't become a cancer

    All the talent one could want in the world and yet we pray that his attitude isn't ? . It's sad seeing the evolution of his career and forced to have that mentality about him. I hope he does well.

    Smh here we go again with the balotelli has a bad attitude myth

    I was always under the impression he did, for example gripping up Mancini or no club wanting to keep him for long. You'll have to explain if I'm missing something.

    Can anyone name what ever attitude issues he's had in the last 2 years???

    A good amount of the criticism he receives is due to his race and his "nonchalant" playing style. hes 25 now and has largely left his "attitude" problems in the past

    Dude needs a team to back him. It should have been Milan but we like to sell out highest scores every year
