Brazil comes unscathed, Ivory coast plays more "Foot" than ball

It is obvious that there is some Foot in Football, but Ivory coast literally took to the heals and played a mean and physical 90 minute routine against Brazil. The game was full of nudges, hits, kicks and holds.
Brazil could scrape through with Fabiano scoring once with his foot, once with his "hands". Kaka helped Elano score an elegant third and Brazil were safely through.

The last 30 mins of the game was like a gladiator match. It was like watching the last quarter of NBA basketball, as the game went in fits and starts, a stoppage every few mins.

Glad Brazil could pass this grueling test. Wish Ivory coast does not make to the round of 16 with so blatant a game.
