After two big wins in South American qualifiers, Uruguay and Paraguay on the Brazilian fans expected a new rout over Egypt in the opening of two teams in the Confederations Cup.

After the first time, scoring with the score 3-1 and Brazil playing well, it seemed that victory was already consummated. But not so. As soon as we started the second half, Egypt seized the sleepy Brazilian team. With the score already feeling accomplished, players sunbirds showed carelessness and inattention.

This caused the Egyptians to pass the attack and let the fear of Brazil. The Africans have discovered that the monster was not as scary as they believed. Bravely, Egypt began to play an equal and got the tie.

Equality showed the flaws of escrete Brazil. Juan and Lucio no longer understood each other on defense. Kléber, the side-left, always shy and fail to support the markings, vanished from the game. At right, Daniel Alves was wrong moves easy. Robinho was a ghost in the field. Kaka, had he not scored the first goal gone unnoticed so far. With that the ball did not arrive to Luis Fabiano, isolated in attack. Dunga put the new Benfica Ramires in place of Elano, Robinho and Alexandre Pato replaced. Nothing has changed. Moreover, Egypt has increasingly departed to attack and played better.

Then, in stoppage occurred bid capital of the game. The penalty literally fell from the sky. The offense was really, because the Egyptian player taken with an arm ball that came into his goal. But the question is whether the referee actually saw such a violation. Apparently he scored a corner kick, as well as his helper. Both have been advised by the existing communication system with the referee booking. This would have seen the launch of a TV monitor. Even if the decision to score the penalty was correct, at least it was preposterous. Since FIFA does not allow arbitrators to consult electronic resources to clarify questionable bids.

Like all Brazilian players had nothing to do with it, Kaka got the ball and made the charge with extreme perfection. Game over, Brazil 4-3. But the tie would be a fairer result.

Brasileirão

Open space to talk about the sixth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Emphasis on the amazing leadership of Atletico Mineiro. The team, which was once considered a candidate for the descent, shows good form under the command of coach Celso Roth. Striker Diego Tardelli with goalscoring is discharged, and the mass atleticanos just have to celebrate after the excellent 3-0 win over Náutico.

Already those who were identified as major title contenders before the league start, Flamengo and Sao Paulo disappoint. The red-black was slain by Coritiba, Parana. The score 5-0 was small as the superiority of Paraná and the incompetence of Flamengo. Added to that the antics of the defense and the glaring failures of the archer Bruno. A real disaster.

The St. Paul continues to show a football bureaucracy. Just before that worked, and now the results did not come. The tricolor paulista only drew with St Andrew Small, in 1-1, in Morumbi. The Brazilian triple champion shows a predictable game. If you want to do good in the national campaign and move forward in the Libertadores Cup, Muricy Ramalho must change the way this team perform. Remaining lateral passes and moves air, and lack creativity and beauty of the game. Until now it worked, but even when this game is bureaucratic-Pauline will result?
