Brazilian woe

Brazil v Paraguay has just finished, and what a finish!

Had a few sherbets while watching it, so here are the highlights:

First half - Brazil dominated. Paraguay looked like they were on a sightseeing tour of the Estadio Ciudad de la Plata. 0-0

Second half - Brazil dominated. Paraguay looked like they were on a sightseeing tour of the Estadio Ciudad de la Plata. 0-0

Extra time - Brazil dominated. Paraguay looked like they were on a sightseeing tour of the Estadio Ciudad de la Plata. Handbags just before the end of the first 15 - 'Anfield' Lucas sent off for Brazil; Alcaraz sent off for Paraguay.

Penalties - first 3 are missed - 2 x Bra; 1 x Par - does anyone want to score a fucking goal? Brazil miss their next two (seriously, the 4 worst consecutive penalty attempts you're likely to see, with only one on target) while Paraguay bag both of theirs.

Interesting stat

All the quarter finals so far have gone to at least extra time and the nation with the smaller population has won in each case - Peru, Uruguay and Paraguay. The last quarter has just kicked off - Chile 17m; Venezuela 30m... you know where to put your money.
