IAN HERBERT IN HOUSTON:A moment of such sweet‚ sweet iridescence at the end would have had the old
Brazilian samba
legends - the ones who left such a glorious trace on this competition - smiling and nodding with quiet satisfaction. It was a case of
Premier League Brazilians bestowing their gifts. From
Bruno Guimareas‚ the vision to see
Gabriel Martinelli in his peripheral vision. From
Martinelli‚ the faculty to control the ball with one foot and lever it out with the other to score‚ sending
Brazil into the last 16 and leaving
Japan's valiant players‚ almost to a man‚ down on their haunches in a state of quiet devastation.
