Samba Boys slay brave Wales

BRAZIL won as everybody expected with skill and joyful football but the memory for Wales was that they were never overawed or overpowered by the supreme South Americans.

Marcelo and Vagner Love scored second-half goals to give Brazil their second victory in London in three days, following their eclipsing of Argentina on Sunday.

But Wales showed defiance, resilience in defence where Danny Gabbidon was outstanding, and sheer graft and hard work.
