AROUSAL V PERFORMANCE

Methinks the cold spoon has worked too well, as the unnecessary fire and aggression has left the game, but with it the creative spark required for a goal. Very few opportunities as the combination of fear and fatigue strangles any excitement out of the game.

Mistimed passes in the final third, pedestrian build ups have Dunga waving his arms about like a badly dressed octopus. Maybe RObinho on soon for Nilmar or Baptista..something has to happen as this game has become scrappier than a game of pool at the Clyde after midnight when the nachos have worn off.

And 0-0 it ends....disappointing. As Fozz said, 96 minutes of your life you'll never get back.
