Bravo Norge. Brasil deserved to lose. A satisfying, manly display by the Norwegians: skillful and artful and direct. Such a contrast to the tawdry images at the end of a bawling, tattooed, overweight Neymar, who seconds earlier had behaved like a petulant little thug with the Norwegian keeper. I feel bad for Vini, who played his heart out and who should really have taken that "penalchi." (He would surely have scored.) And much as it pains me to say this, since I revere the man: it's time for Mr Ancelotti to retire.
