The irony of the game was that, Ronaldo's goal came off an unlikely error from Kahn, after the latter had thwarted some brilliant moves of the Brazillian offense.
The Europeans continue to dissappoint me. With unimaginative midfielders, they deserve to be relegated as they were in this World Cup. Portugal was a team that I expected a lot from, but if you lose to the US, you deserve what you get. Overall, I was glad to see that teams that were content to defend were punished by the opposition. I have long held the belief you cannot hold off any team for 90 minutes, yet coaches seem to have the attitude that allows the opposition to control the tempo and play in your own half. El Hadji Diouff and Hasan Sas were players that really impressed me the most. Diouff's moves were just a beauty to watch. Marlon, if your Germany has any hope in 2006, they need to import players life Diouff, Sas, Ortega and Basturk. With the World Cup now over, let us now return to the lament called India. Will we ever get to the level of the World Cup? I guess we could hire Milutinovic and try. He is free now and has worked wonders with other teams in the past. -Tariq On Mon, 1 Jul 2002, Nagesh Bhatcar wrote: > Tariq, > > I think that the goalkeeping of Brazil's Marcos was better on Sunday, > than the much touted Kahn.
