Confederations cup opening Brazil vs Japan:




The opening game that promised some action and exciting football talents on display from both nations. This is dual between two completely different style of playing.

The Japanese have quit a number of prominent plays like Kagawa of Manchester united, Honda ect. Like the Brazlie team that has very popular players like Neymar,Danny Alves, Paulinho ,Oscar. We can go on and on.

The match started with brazil fight attacking and getting a goal after three minutes of play with Fred collecting a looping pass from the middle and the young gifted Neymar making the best possible start that the manager Scolari can and would ever pray for.

After the goal the game settled down a little with the Brazilian attack asking all the questions from the defence of the Japanese whom really would have done better if they had tried to instil their way of playing on the field of play.

Only the Brazilians seem to have a proper handling of the game because they were always on the attack and making the Japanese defence work their heels off.

The first half saw the Japanese have quit a few chances and certainly the weaker team which are as at today the Asia champions and could have done better but are just not so good on the attack or in the mid field. I would have preferred if the Japanese had made a lot of counter attack and make the Brazilians work for the passion and just stay in the game.

Just a few minutes into the second half Paulinho made the game two goals to  and just at the end of the game Jo made it three  goal to zero and  Neymar showed more presence in the game in the second half.

The game was exciting enough in my opinion but the Brazilian team show a little flash of brilliance and hope they put a lot of work into their team play because they have the talent and the players to put a lot of  very interesting  plays to show the world .

In all I was not very sure of how the game was going to end, but with the performance of the Brazilian team. I think they did well against a team that seem to need some work in the technical department and confidence. The world cup is a year from now so there is a lot of time for teams and managers to put a lot of work into their team.

Please I would like to know what you all think about the game and what would you like to see concerning, teams and manager alike.

I would like to ask a very simple question: is team Brazil good enough to win this confederation cup? Kindly comment, Thank you
