Match Report
by Norman Giller |
|
Brazil,
a goal up in ten minutes through Gil, abandoned their silky smooth samba
football for uncompromising tactics that led to five of their players
being booked. England missed a hatful of chances to equalise before Kevin
Keegan earned a merited draw with a Brazilian-style free-kick that he bent
round the defensive wall. Football purist Ron Greenwood said privately
after the match: 'I would much rather to
have
been beaten by a Brazil team playing the sort of skilled football that is
their tradition than holding to a draw a side that, let's be honest, was
thuggish in their approach. It was very sad to see them resorting to such
tactics. That is not the Brazil way.'
