Brazil drew with Iraq and returned to disappoint
After the disappointing debut in which he did not pass the goalless draw against South Africa, Brazil again played a poor game and just hit him to match 0-0 against Iraq . The team led by Neymar again repeated mistakes he had made in the opening game and, full of nervousness and recklessness, suffered too a duel that thought he could solve easily.
The main sin of the home side was fast losing patience to get into a very well planted Iraq that was devoted mainly to cut the game with fouls and lose the maximum possible amount of minutes on each ball.
Thus, after a first half in which he had only a couple of close -ups of little risk to the arch rival, Brazil played almost full complement in the field in Iraq. However, he could not find the goal and ended up disappointing their people again.
Against this background, the Canarinhos, which so far garnered only 2 points like Iraq, the qualification for the next stage will be played in the last group match on Wednesday against the leader, Denmark (4 points).
