Is a little samba too much to ask? Brazil-North Korea live blog

As Shimer just said to me, "this is what the tournament needs, a great game from Brazil, too many 0-0 ties."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Hopefully Brazil can look like Germany in their opening match.

We're eight scoreless minutes in but Robinho has already had a sweet sequence of stepovers and also a couple chances on goal that sailed wide.
