Might be a tad more in it than just diving..

today's game has not been a 4-0 game, we matched them in the first half and had some decent spells of possession, however trailing by a goal at that stage I guess we needed to create more. It's becoming a bit one sided now but we have competed a lot deal greater than we thought we would. I'm a big United supporter and really rate Anderson, so it's been a pleasant suprise for me that the likes of Peverely and Elliot have not looked out of place in this game at all! I hope Elliot can find a club because he's really shown some maturity in the midfield in the last few games. I've also been impressed by Peverly and Hogg, anyone got any information on them??

mvh18, your kidding right?
 
We have NOT matched them.
 
We have played well considering,but we just simply arent good enough,something we already knew.
 
I was guessing a 4-0 scoreline,but hoped for better. If Brazil scores another however...it starts to get into the territory of being a hiding sadly

Allegedly

It's the lapse of concentration that is really annoying me in this game. It's make us look real dopy.

The brazilians are really showing off, that it is really embarrassing. It's like 1982 again.

The first goal and the first Ronaldiniho goal were pressure goals, or soft whichever you prefer.  I just hope the U-23 side pick up a few contracts from this.

I'm an optimist, cup half full and all that.
 
This second half seems to have fallen apart somewhat, but I thought we looked good in the first half (after we conceded ), without creating too much in attack. We just don't have that X factor that Brazil has, and seems that we're more content pumping long balls up field then taking on the man. Incidently, isn't it great to see Ronaldinhio starting to get back to his old form? It was a shame what happened to him at Barca over the last season because it is an absolute joy to watch him in full flow.
