| 0:00.0 | These were the scenes in Rio de Janeiro as Brazil registered their first victory in the World Cup. |
| 0:12.0 | It was expected a 3-0 win over Haiti gives them one step into the knockout stages. |
| 0:18.0 | Welcome in to the ESPNFC studios. I'm Dan Thomas. Nadim, Craig and Steve? That's desperate, isn't it? What's that? What's desperate? What? The Brazilian fans acting like that? Well, they're allowed to celebrate. They just beat Haiti for God's sake. It's when the second Cunia goal went in. They're excited. That's how desperate they're getting... I think you're allowed to be happy, aren't you? |
| 0:37.5 | No, no, no. |
| 0:38.2 | What do you want them to do? Very good. Well, well done, everybody. Let's see what happens. When lasted. Right, so shut up. Right, Brazil. Be Haiti by three goals to Neil Cunia with a brace, Venetius Jr. getting in on the act as well. Not quite as dominant as maybe we're |
| 0:55.3 | expecting it to be considering the way Brazil started. The game there were flashes of brilliance, |
| 1:00.2 | but overall still questions about this Brazilian side and about how deep they can go. |
| 1:06.2 | What did you make of it, Nathan? First half looks all right. Second half kind of happened. Wasn't too exciting. I think Brazil allowed Haiti to have a bit more possession, so the game turned into a game where Haiti are the protagonist, which wasn't great. But I think for Brazil, the biggest concern really, I think, is the fact that Rufinia had to go off injured. So you wonder what that's going to be like for the third game, how long is going to be out for if it's going to be for the rest of the tournament. |
| 1:28.7 | And ultimately it was a bit better than the Morocco game. |
| 1:31.6 | But I'm with Craig in some ways. |
| 1:32.8 | I'm glad that they're celebrating, but it's not really a result that will be remembered for a very, very long time. |
| 1:38.0 | It's just an important three points, I think. |
| 1:39.6 | Yeah, that's it, isn't it? |
| 1:40.9 | I suppose you look at positives for Brazil. We saw Igor Tudor start in that game against Morocco. He didn't remain actual impact. Cunia started today. You say Igor Tudor, do you say? Oh, did you say, Tiago? Tudor, it's my Portuguese. Sorry. Well, I thought it was talking about the manager. Everybody, countries, people are just changing names. Hold like hold on the right show I didn't |
| 2:02.9 | well I didn't be fair though it didn't go very well from it taught them oh that was that |
| 2:08.8 | was a couple months ago yeah he looked happy enough for his teammates though |
| 2:14.5 | Tiago Tiago yeah so he's taking it quite well because he started, obviously, and he didn't start today, but Cunya is a quality player. You know, he's got, he wouldn't call him a natural striker, although he took his finishes pretty good. But yeah, I think like every other team, every other major team we're going to get to the US a little bit later on. |
| 2:35.0 | The big question is going to come for them is when we get to the knockout. |
| 2:38.0 | I mean, Brazil are playing Scotland next. |
| 2:40.0 | They're already through. |
| 2:41.0 | It's whether they'll go through as winners of the group or not. |
| 2:44.0 | And again, it's the knockout stages for these teams where we're going to learn |
