Unearthly hour

Watched Czech play Italy, slept for two hours, and awoke for the match between Japan and Brazil. What can I say? Brazil played sublimely and Ronaldo is getting back on form. Kawaguchi made a string of fine saves but was finally beaten and the gates swung open. Perhaps Maki shouldn't have been substituted, as pace was sorely lacking from the Japan side in the second half. One exception was Santos, who continued to try and attack. At least things picked up a bit in the last 10 minutes or so.

Best play goes to the little passing game back and forth between Ronaldo and Ronaldhino in front of the Japanese goal. Didn't turn into a goal though.

Question : was that Roberto Carlos who tried to cheer up Nakata post-game, after he had been laying on the pitch for 5 minutes or so?

Eh? I thought that guy was Japanese?
 
That's what I thought too at first... then I heard the commentator say Roberto Carlos (I think). And some sites say it was Adriano...
