Yup.
Im a Brazil fan but I understand when people say that this is an ugly Brazil team to watch. Fernandinhos job was to kick James all over the park so Brazil can't complain that Neymar got injured.
I looked at the stats and there were 53 fouls. 53! 30 by Brazil. The ref had no clue. Do you guys remember Holland vs Portugal In 2006? Considered the most violent game ever? There were not even 30 fouls total in that game but there were 12 yellow cards and 3 reds. And no one got hurt. The ref clamped down.
