They need to change their formation
Brazil is too predictable

They have no world class wingbacks no more.... O for the days of Cafu and R Carlos.. owning the wings for fun

Japan to create an upset. You guys havent seen Japan play.

As a matter of fact, they the first team in the world to qualify for

next years world cup. That should tell you guys that the Japanese aint playing here.

On current form, they will beat our super eagles.

Hehe. Mourinho will propel CFC to the title next February.

Now back to the discussion, why should the referee be from portugal? Knowing fully well the Brazilian-portuguese link...............

That referee is a decent official. He officiated the 2012 Champions League final between CHELSEA and Bayern Munich. I don't think the Portuguese link will becloud his judgement.
