Internet Desk: After the first match it was again a draw of Brazil against much weak Iraq. In fact they have only match left to secure their berth to qualify for the next round.

On the home ground having a huge support the host team is yet to get a win. Led by Barcelona forward Neymar, Brazil conceived second goalless draw of the tournament after a blank against South Africa on Thursday.

“We need to apologize to the fans, to the people of Brasilia,” Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. “We didn’t play our best football. We feel like we left our fans frustrated.”

The star attraction of the match Neymar was stuck on and on by the mid-fielders and defenders of Iraq. Along with him another promising young strikers Gabigol and Gabriel Jesus also struggled.

It is better to say that Iraq played better football than Brazil. The hope the host team in mind is not being reflected in any of their first two matches. Rather the small nations came to the world’s biggest show are showing much prospect.

Brazil stood in the second position as Denmark is on the top of the group list. Next Brazil has to play against Denmark on Wednesday. In that match Brazil has to win. Otherwise they have to look for South Africa, Iraq match to qualify for the quarterfinal.
