Some Thoughts On Switzerland-Brazil

After watching Brazil cash a check today, this is what I came away with:

• At least FSC had an English announcer (John Champion?) today. The broadcast of Brazil's game last month against Ecuador had a Brit commentating as well. I guess that bodes well for the rest of the Brazilian games the channel is planning to run in the coming years. Anything but Christian Miles please, or anoy other in-house talent. Miles seems to know his soccer, but he's not cut out to be a game announcer.
• The Swiss like to grill their meats by using the George Foreman Grill
• Other then the own goal that he played a part in, Porto's Helton had a pretty good match. The keeper didn't look to big out there, but he was moving quickly and almost got to every ball he should have. Great distribution as well.
• Wow, Arsenal centerbacks having trouble defending on set pieces. Who would have thought that?
• In Switzerland, Rice Krispies are called Sucrilhos.
• I never thought I'd see a Brazilian wearing a turtle neck wool sweater. Dunga did look sharp though.
  
• Diego, one of the most in form Brazilians at the moment, only gets a couple of minutes at the end of the game?
• For Switzerland's sake, thank god that the Euros don't start tomorrow.
