And Bruno, I don't particularly like Bruno on his left foot.

I don't think he's particularly good on his left foot.

I think maybe the first thought is, can I shoot?

And they won't let him on the right foot to shoot, but a beautiful pass off his left foot.

Beautiful pass.

And Martinelli, it's a difficult finish because he's got to dig it out from under his feet.

So there's the calm and the serenity.

It's almost as if Ancelotti chomping on his chewing gum has absorbed all of the tension and the team can play with a Carlo-esque serenity, even in the 96th minute.

I honestly don't know, but he would have been in an incredibly difficult situation.

Incredibly difficult situation.

I think the reality is,

that of all of the teams that Brazil could have played as group winners in this second phase, Japan were the most dangerous.

and you could see how Japan could hurt Brazil.

They beat them 3-2 in a friendly in October, friendly Schmende and all the rest of it, but it was one of those Japan things where they just flick a switch and they were 2-0 down and they scored three goals in 20 minutes.

Brazil had a second string defence out there at full strength apart from that, reinforcing the point, I think, that Japan are more dangerous when they're swarming forward chasing the game than they are trying to defend a lead.

But it would have been the worst situation

Brazil World Cup since 1934 with the highest paid coach a foreign coach difficult to gloss that one over I honestly don't know what would have happened because the criticism would have been a lot of the old guard were already kind of ganging up on him anyway you know so yes he saved himself from a very awkward situation and is he well got over there I mean is he speaking Portuguese well is he well liked or lukewarm or no

He is a public relations genius.

And there are quite a few Argentine coaches over here who just do it in Spanish.

They just won't learn the language.
