They were saying that basically Brazil just looked shocked. After the first goal they weren't able to recover and it was a poor start for a team that, on paper anyway, looked like second favorite going into this tournament. The man who is definitely feeling the heat now is new head coach Dunga. This is his first major tournament in this capicity and is playing a mostly internationally inexperienced team. The goalkeeper was playing in his first game with Brazil and looked nervous, especially with the second goal where he didn't even move off his line. I think Brazil will recover from this game and come out more in control of the next one. Mexico did play a pretty good game and it was nice to see Castillo taking control the way he did.
Argentina - USA tomorrow. That one should be entertaining, and interesting to see what Veron and Riquelme, who play a very similar style, play the midfield together. The only shock for me is that Tevez is on the bench for this one. With the way he finished his season in the EPL, I thought he would be a certain member of that lineup.
