I think so too, but we shouldn't underestimate the Ricans.

AQ, it looks like you haven't seen China play in the past couple of warmup games, their record is preety impressive.
Turkey might come close but I think China will get the 2nd spot.

Very true I would have wished that it would have stayed the way it was 1-1.
Well Brazil isn't making the best impression. They had to fight hard here.
I guess Brazil will more problems with China.

Brasil kept pulling on Turkish shirts throughout the game.. even after the red card, yet the offical didn't care.
Rivaldo's drama at the end was so fake, it was sad! He kicked the ball towards his arms, and he fell down holding his head.
I don't blame Turkey that much, as it's not fair when you don't get equal opportunity.
Besides, it should have been a free kick, not a penalty. He pulled him down, outside of the box.

I agree! Although I was quite indifferent about the outcome of this match, Turkey would have deserved at least one point.
The performance of the referee was a huge scandal not only because of the wrong penalty, but overall.
Regardless of this result Brazil and Turkey are gonna be the teams to qualify for the next round.
For the Korean referee of this match, Kim Young-Joo however this should have been the last match of the World Cup.
