Brazil v Uruguay Match of the Day Live

continued live coverage of the Confederations Cup, a tournament

that has been nothing short of spectacular. We have reached the

semi-final stage, four teams have enthralled us with their flyer,

skill and firepower. With 43 goals between them! The first semi final

is an all South American affair between Brazil and Uruguay, with no

less than seven World Cup winds to their names. -- winds.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

Kilburn, who has just returned from Brazil. We have had the joy of

people enjoying great for all and yet a lot of demonstrations, what

were your experiences? It has been excellent, so much

quality for all, but a lot of improvement needs to be made in the

country. -- for all. Parts of the country ring run down condition and

in need of improvement and that is the problem, the amount spent on

hosting the tournament and the Olympics, and not enough is being

put into the infrastructure of the country.

In terms of the football, wonder. ! Wonderful games, outstanding play.

Neymar little tournament after only a couple of minutes in that first

game, but Spain and Italy have been outstanding as well.

I won, there has been some good for all -- Alan.

The play has been excellent, it has gone according to the script and we

have the big four in the semi-final. But we have seen outstanding

individual performances. There has been freedom, fluency to the games.

And all to play for! I would like to see a better Brazilian side. The

World Cup next year needs a strong and vibrant, technically brilliant

Brazilian side, they are not there yet, but are improving.

They have scored plenty of goals. Everybody loves the Brazilians and

they want to be fantastic. It is maybe harsh when you judge this team

against the one in 1970 and 1982. They were great Brazilian sides, the

greatest I have seen. Five or six technically brilliant players, the

insert by and fluency was sensational. This team is more

workmanlike and methodical and functional. They have big players

like Neymar who has been sensational, I do not think they are

as good as previous sites. We have also seen teams more

relaxed. Will they be best relaxed in the World Cup so early into the

tournament? -- this relaxed.

Brazil is 48 times the size of Uruguay and has a population of

almost 200 million, compared to Uruguay 's 3.3 million residents.

Brazil are unbeaten against Uruguay in the last six meetings, including

two Copa America semifinals, that -- but they will be forever haunted by

one defeat over 60 years ago. Simply known as the Americana blow,

the first meeting between Uruguay and Brazil in the final match of the

1950 World Cup produced one of the biggest upsets in football history.

Uruguay won the first-ever World Cup 20 years ago, but on home turf,

Brazil were overwhelming favourites. The forward had scored

four against Sweden in a 7-1 victory. Brazil only needed a draw

against their fellow South Americans to claim their first World Cup

title. An expected cloud of 200,000 crammed into the stadium and was

then still areas as Brazil went ahead. -- and was sent delirious.

But the strolled to victory never materialised and Uruguay equalised

in the second half. Brazilian had strapped as tension gripped the

stadium. With 11 minutes remaining, jumping couple happens, Uruguay took

the lead. -- the unthinkable happened. This tiny nation became

world champions for the second time. 60 years later, the victory is

lauded in Uruguay and loathed in Brazil. They had to wait eight years

to wind their first World Cup. -- to wind. They have claimed another four

sense. But Uruguay have never scaled those heights against. -- since.

But neither nation will forget the original underdog triumph in Rio in

1950. Brazil game some revenge in 1970

when they beat Uruguay by three goals to one in the World Cup

semi-final. It is remembered less for those goals than four two

incidences of outrageous skill from about it. He is going to get a

-- two. Remembered in many ways for three occasions when he did not

wonderfully gifted player. He was an absolute genius. Every time you see

it, it gets better and better. I cannot believe you missed!

Kevin probably was not one! Ashbourne. -- born. We can hear from

a Brazilian who made his mark in the Premier League now, he has been

talking to Steve Wilson. How do you see the semi-final match

against Uruguay? It is always tough when Brazil plays

Uruguay and always everybody wants the final. Brazil has to think,

first, Uruguay, if they continue to play with the same mentality and

very strong, they have a great opportunity to go to the final.

How much of a difference has it made to the team and to Neymar that he

has scored such a great goal after three minutes of the first game?

Neymar was not playing at the level he can play. And people start to

criticise. But once the team are good, Neymar can show his talent.

That is what has happened in the last three games.

You sometimes watch the Brazilian team and some of the talent is so

obvious. But sometimes I look at Fred and Pinky is a good player but

not a great Brazilian centre forward. -- and think he is.

If we compare him with Rinaldo, he is not at that level. But he is a

good goal-scorer. That is why Felipe Scolari is different to anyone, he

knows Fred is a good player. Maybe another manager could change him in

the third game. Felipe Scolari sticks with the guy because he knows

he can produce. And that is why he is doing the same with Fred and

Oscar, because he has helped him a lot, but players like that, they

feel they can trust a manager. That is why the group started to become a

family. You understand the pressure of

playing for Brazil, how much pressure is this squad under now?

Brazil are now rebuilding the national team. Are young. It maybe

takes a little more time for them to adapt to the pressure. To what it

means to wear a Brazilian shirt. But now they are going well, now we know

the group. We know the name of everyone. I think now, the

relationship with the country starts. On the field, the players of

filling that. They feel that the supporters are with them. --

feeling. It still looks -- he still looks the

same. This evening 's encounter takes place in Estadio Mineirao, it

in Belo Horizonte, that has undergone a comprehensive face-lift

at �220 million. Mark Lawrenson and Jason Mohammad Orrin positions.

And incredible noise inside. -- or imposition. Felipe Scolari urged

Brazil to get behind his team yesterday, what have you made the

atmosphere? The supporters have been billions,

they sang the national anthem against Mexico and it was

frightening! The captain of Uruguay, in another

news conference, casually slipped in that Neymar dives!

He needs to look after his own game, he has not played well, he has

been hopeless. Neymar is only about eight stone, he falls over when you

touch. And Luis Suarez does that as well.

And what about the captain going for Suarez?

He did it in the last game, the manager of Uruguay, and he thinks

that is the way he can wind. Uruguay are not good defensively.

Have you been disappointed with no macro?

He has not played well. Uruguay have been ordinarily. -- are you

disappointed with Edinson Cavani. The last time Brazil lost Uruguay in

Brazil was in 1992, in a friendly. I want if the matchwinner is watching

tonight! Who knows? Probably not on this

channel! Mok is adamant Brazil will do it, this is the starting line-up.

-- Mark. Pretty much as expected. Defensively, the two fullbacks going

forward, that is not necessarily a great partnership. Upfront as

explosive. Neymar has been the star of the show.

He has been brilliant. Everybody is talking about Fred and would he get

into the top teams in European for all right now?

He has been accused of diving by Diego Lugano, is that a fair

accusation? He is being theatrical. There is

contact and he makes a meal out of it. This is technical. As soon as

the defender... If the defender is favourite to get the ball, it is a

foul. But on this occasion, I think that Neymar is favourite to get the

ball. Again, he makes a meal out of it going down.

There is contact. He feels the contact and he goes down some Mac he

can look after himself! There were two or three challenges.

He really goes for it and does not hold back.

The technique, that is the right foot, technically brilliant.

this is left, sensational! Unbelievable. And the trickery, that

is tasty. And division awareness, and then the pace. -- division. You

have every attribute you want. And the pace is like, so quick. And a

is what you get with Neymar, he will beat players at will with his

ability. Brazil condemned Lugano's comments, as you might expect,

saying it was trying to get the referee to look for those sort of

things. For Uruguay, they have gone The big three up front are

outstanding players. There are a lot of goals within those three for

Uruguay. It's pretty impressive. The one who doesn't match up to his club

form is Cavani. He's scored some incredible - he's scored a goal

every 120 minutes in Italy. He's scored 38 goals this year. Cavani,

an outstanding player. They are talking him as a �#R50 million

player. This fella, he is brilliant. -- Talk Talking of him as a �50

million player. This fella, he is brilliant. This is against Tahiti.

They struggled, didn't they? To say the least! You have the big three

here. Suarez plays it to Cavani and Forlan does well. He just drags away

to his left-hand side, he gives himself a bit of space and the

finish is unbelievable! A good pass from Cavani. Great finish. Then,

Kevin, Cavani, he does well to read the line here. His movement is

outstanding. Good ball played into him. Does everything right. He seems

to hesitate. He has too many touches! Then he has a free header

here. This is what you get for �54 million. I am sure he is better than

that. Do you think Manchester City will have second thoughts about him?

He is an out-and-out goalscorer. With Suarez, you get so much more to

his game - the work rate, the ability to beat players. Is it fair

to say we have seen some suspect defending in this tournament?

Never(!) LAUGHTERI love watching this. Thiago Silva has to come

across. Never at any stage does he come across. It is a nonsense. I

think Suarez can benefit from this. The back four of the Brazilians are

quite impetuous. Kevin, Lugano? been questioned. You heard Lawro say

he has to concentrate on his own game. He gets square on there and

dangles a leg. If there was any contact, Mikel goes down for a

penalty. He needs to organise his own team. They will give you a

chance. The Brazilian defence will give you a chance. It goes...It

goes without saying. That is taken for granted. It wouldn't be Brazil

if they didn't give you a chance. Uruguay are to compete this evening,

what have they got to do, Kevin? main three. They are going to get a

chance. They have to take it when they get a chance. Cavani and Suarez

have been scoring at club level. Oscar Tabarez doing the right thing?

He recognises - Alan was saying the two full-backs like to get forward.

They give you a chance and with Suarez's pace, Cavani's pace, if

they get the chance, you would expect them to score. You have two

attacking line-ups. It will finish 0-0(!) Uruguay could use those three

on the counter-attack? Absolutely. That should make for a great game.

OK. There are some games that need hyping up. This is one that does

not. Let's not waste the # Here we go

# Here we go! O! # It's Brazil against Uruguay for a

place in the final of the Confederations Cup. Mark Lawrenson

and Steve Wilson are in Belo Horizonte.

Good evening, Gary, good evening, everyone. Outside this stadium, the

demonstrations continue. Tens of thousands on the streets of Belo

Horizonte today, demanding FIFA class schools, FIFA class hospitals

and an end to corruption. Inside a two-kilometre exclusion zone, the

football continues. Don't necessarily separate the two things.

Many of this Brazilian squad, including Neymar, have lent their

support to the people on the streets and the people have clearly lent

their support to the team, even though to buy an official replica

Brazilian shirt would cost what a teacher might hope to earn in a

week. This team are becoming even more than ever an expression of the

people's hope for a better future. After their draw with England

three-and-a-half weeks ago, they were pessimistic, but they have won

four out of four since. A friendly against France and the three matches

in this Confederations Cup, 12 goals scored and two conceded. For Brazil,

Uruguay represent an old and difficult foe. Uruguay, the current

South American champions. The Estadio Mineirao is absolutely

jam-packed and the ovation for Felipe Scolari when he came out of

the tunnel to take his place in the dug-out was fantastic, Mark. What an

ovation, what music to the ears of a coach who has been, at the end of

some strong criticism? He has been under pressure. We heard Juninho say

he is building a new team. I was here for the Mexico game when the

crowd sang the National Anthem and I have never heard anything like it in

my life. That is the kind of pressure, that is a great welcome

for him. They are being carried on a wave of support and maybe a wave

which will bring change to their country as well. Here they come.

There is a tiny Uruguayan contingent. Almost everyone of the

62,500 inside this stadium are supporting Brazil. What a noise! The

first-ever Brazilian international in this stadium in 1965 was against

Uruguay. They won 3-0. The last Brazilian competitive defeat on home

soil was in this stadium in 1975. That's how long it is that Brazil

are unbeaten in competitive matches at home. Well, FIFA have declared

the two semifinals of the Confederations Cup days days of

anti-discrimination and the captain of each side will be invited to make

a declaration to that effect. I would imagine, Mark Lawrenson, is

probably the last thing you want to do before a big game? Just the fact

of maybe even getting your words out, most definitely. No-one would

argue with the sentiment. Perhaps, the timing isn't the best. Thiago

Silva, as captain of Brazil, will speak first. He is saying, "On

behalf of the national team of Brazil, I declare we whole heartedly

reject discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin, sexuality,

using the power of football we can eradicate racism and discrimination

from our sport and the rest of society and we pledge to pursue this

goal and are appealing to you to join us in this fight." Your

translation is really good(!) bad. I struggled with his accent(!)

Yeah! Diego Lugano, the captain of Uruguay says, "On behalf of Uruguay,

I declare we condemn any kind of discrimination and appeal to

everyone who is watching us today. Wherever you are in the world, help

us remove discrimination from our society and integrate everyone in

our game. We join in this together, we can succeed." As Mark was saying,

the singing of the National Anthem, the Brazilian anthem, has become

more of an expression of patriotism in this country and I am sure it

It's a foul. Not sure it needs pike Brazil's worst 45 minutes in this

tournament, but they lead Luis Suarez's Uruguay 1-0, created by

Neymar, finished by Fred. All that after Diego Forlan had seen his

early penalty kick saved by Julio Cesar. 45 minutes up in Belo

Horizonte. Brazil are 45 minutes away from the final. They lead

first half we perhaps anticipated. It's not been the flair and the

skill. It's been a fascinating tactical battle? The gave has been

average. It's been an average performance by the Brazilians. I

can't see how they can win the World Cup. They are well short of class

and flair. One or two players are very overrated. The one that is not

overrated is Neymar, who gave us one piece of magic for the goal. The

control was sensation al. Uruguay have worked really hard. They should

have scored with a Forlan penalty. Not been a great game. There is no

question Uruguay had a game plan for Brazil. It could have been the other

way around. The game plan was to press them, let them come over the

halfway line and press them as soon as it crossed the halfway line. They

did it well. They executed the plan really well for that first half.

They are unfortunate to go, missing the penalty. They have to go to Plan

B now. Absolutely. Can they sustain that pressing anyway? For 90

minutes. It's a poacher's goal. It was a goalscore er's goal? LAUGHTER

is what he brings to Brazil. He has flashes of brilliance. It was great

movement inside. Collected the pass, brilliant first touch. Unlucky with

his shot. Great disguise. Absolutely. Fred, coming in, he

finished it well. Hulk had a chance. That was their inability to

breakdown a team that was well drilled. Uruguay had their penalty,

which Forlan missed. It was a strange piece of action from David

Luiz? The referee is in a great position. It was initially - Godin

was trying to get the block on him. Watch Luiz here. He is disgusted

with the decision. The referee has a great view. He is clear. The

referees have pulled a few offences up like this through the tournament.

It's been highlighted from fee fa. Let's hope it continues. -- It's

been highlighted from FIFA. Let's hope it continues. It was a great

save. Sometimes those decisions are hard to give when they are through a

crowded box. That one was easy to give. They had a couple of chances

in those early stages, Uruguay? Uruguay's, the strength has been how

well organised they have been. I mean, they have had a few chances.

Again, it's been the three up front. A good ball played in here and

Forlan, a great first touch. They don't get tight quick enough. Suarez

- he should do better, a player of his quality. That is poor. Brazil

have struggled from long throws defensively. Prior to kick-off, we

talked about the front three of Uruguay. We didn't necessarily think

about it in a defensive perspective. But they have worked so hard?

to them because of the work rate. What they did initially was

terrific. If you watch this all the way down - it is press, press, press

again, back to the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper gives it to the full-back

and press again. What happens is, it's a bad touch and, in the end,

Uruguay get possession back. I mean, like you made the point, it is very

difficult to do that for 90 minutes. This is the two centre-backs, let

them play - this is Suarez. Over the halfway line, that's been the game

plan. You see this one, it is a good switch of play by Dani Alves, a

really good ball to Marcelo. How quickly they get back the

Uruguayans. Cavani has been very impressive getting back. It's Cavani

that makes the challenge to win the ball back. Again, Cavani is looking

to break. No wonder he doesn't score so many! He is playing right back!

LAUGHTER As we said before, Uruguay have to change their plan and it

will be interesting... Prior to the goal, we didn't see too many

opportunities for Brazil, did we? Hulk, Fred? They talk about what a

great player hulk is, but he doesn't touch it for 20 minutes. This is the

first time they played through them, one-two, that is great opportunity.

He lacked the compose ure. Yeah. Really good chance. Opened up for

him. He lashed at the ball, really. That was good defending. Good

movement from Fred. Again, if you have been honest in the match, how

many times has he linked up with anybody? In general play, I don't

fancy him at all. OK. Tomorrow's semifinal sees a repeat of last

year's yauRp ian Championship final between Spain and Italy. -- European

Championship final between Spain and sufficient amount of skill. It will

take a sufficient amount of skill. COMMENTARY: He's lashed in an

COMMENTARY: He scores! It will take a sufficient amount of

skill. COMMENTARY: Brilliant burst this

from Alba! That should be a cracker. Italy have

been scoring and conceding for fun. Spain have been what they are. You

have seen both teams play out there. Yes. Can Spain be beaten?Against

Nigeria, they conceded lots of chances. Iniesta has been brilliant

in the three games. Italy, without Balotelli, he's gone home. He's been

the focal point of everything. Without Balotelli, I can't see them

beating Spain. Have you seen an Italian side defend in the maner

they have done? Mistakes all over the place. I think the Spanish will

beat the Italians. And on this performance tonight, I think the

Spanish are assured. England 's women were in action

against Japan earlier, as part of their preparations for the European

Championships in Sweden. It was particularly significant for Rachel

appearance, she is now the most capped English layer of all time,

off target. There was no deflection on the second attempt, but the

Japanese keeper was still yet to be tested. After 41 minutes, England

and that perseverance paid off and Rachel had a key role. Her ball was

deserved goal. The second half was much less exciting but this pass set

up her team-mate, who must have thought she could have done better.

England were cruising but were caught short and a swift Japanese

attack ended up with this equaliser. complexion of the game late on and

they added much impetus to the match. This shot hit the woodwork.

With minutes remaining, England thought they had won it. The

second-half replacement converted from a dangerous free kick but it

was ruled out for pushing. A draw is a decent result against a strong

Japanese team and England will now head to Sweden on Monday. When you

start the game, it you forget about the number of caps, it was about

beating Japan and I think we did tremendously well.

We played good football in parts, trying to set up and score goals,

and I think we had a good effort and to come away with a draw against the

You wonder at this stage if the World Cup will be in Brazil.

We have had doubts before about South Africa and it was all right.

These problems are usually solved before next year.

Inside, we have watched a game, not not the game we expected but it can

everything has lifted now. That substitution has lifted the crowd.

Bernard was heavily involved in that with a bit more pace and a bit more

fire. It feels like it was a good substitution at a very good time.

Very good. Oscar thought he might have been coming off. So he's

started to raise his game. Fred has started to do one or two things,

He is in no-man's-land. Caceres at the back post. A good leap, very

good leap from Paulinho. Paulinho scores again. He scored against

England in the friendly at the Maracana. That is his second goal in

this tournament. It is a get out of jail goal! The substitutions that

Scolari has made have been good, they have increased the attacking

power of Brazil in the second half. At the moment, that might be enough.

editions of this Confederations Cup. Yeah, they are all moaning at the

ref, saying Brazil are taking loads of time. What do you expect? Again,

a free-kick goes Brazil's way. Neymar is pulled to his feet by Maxi

Pereira. The longer they argue, they waste their own time. Free-kick to

Brazil. 90 seconds of normal time to already blown up. Neymar is going

over at every opportunity. It is very difficult to tell whether that

is because Uruguay are putting him on his backside at every

opportunity. Yes, see if there is any contact is the first thing.

Tempers are fraying. Uruguay have given it everything they have. In

the end, they haven't had quite as much quality as Brazil even though

Brazil have not reached the heights of their performances in the group

stage. There could be more punishment here. Neymar in the

middle. Bernard didn't score the goal in his home city that he was

hoping for. The other thing is the two substitutions that Brazil have

made, they have really been the difference. He's hardly touched

Neymar there. Seriously. Behave! There is a smell of smoke inside the

think. Yes. Diego Forlan is going to take this free-kick. They have to

Suarez stayed on his feet. The second, Fred timed it to a tee.

Maxi Pereira is there for Uruguay. Still not quite in the final. Brazil

are almost there. The referee has given him a free-kick. There was no

touch at all. That is clever. Uruguay are trying to buy some time

and blown the whistle! Brazil head to Rio, head to the Maracana, head

home for the Confederations Cup final. It's another

third-fourth-place play-off for beaten Uruguay. Brazil have just

about done enough? Yes, they have got themselves over the line. The

performance needs a lot of questions asked about it. It never - Brazil

have never really been at their best. Sunday might be a different

day. It is their third straight final in this Confederations Cup.

have got themselves into the final? They have got themselves into the

final. The reason they are in the final is because Uruguay tired. The

keeper makes a mistake and it is in the back of the net. There will be

question marks about the Brazilian performance. They always seem to

give you a chance. But, you know, they are through to the final.

wonder what it will be like in 12 months' time? They are not due to

play at the Maracana through the group games next year. It was a late

goal from Paulinho, who is supposed to be on his way to Tottenham.

Absolutely. A great header?He's gone - it's a decent corner. He's

dragged away, the keeper has come. He makes a mistake. It's in the back

of the net. A little bit of movement. He's pulled off, yeah.

Good header. Good goal.The keeper has come and great reactions there.

this position, this is sensational. This is timed to perfection. Kevin,

if you look at it from another angle, it is magnificent?

Outstanding challenge. He hasn't scored the goals playing for

Uruguay. You can see why. He doesn't put himself in positions. Quick

feet. He does well there. Not so sure about the hit. The quick feet

there, a bit of a deflection, the goalkeeper has gone another way.

That could have gone in. Do we think Manchester City will up their bid

tomorrow? �50 million is a lot! down to �53 million! For a player

that plays up front and full-back at the same time! Going back to the

start, there was a crazy moment from David Luiz to give away a penalty

and Forlan missed. We don't know what he is thinking about. He pulled

Lugano here. I mean, he's tried to tell the referee it is a bad

decision. The referee has no option whatsoever to give a penalty kick.

It is a good decision. It happens so often and it goes unpunished.

great save by the keeper. Fred put Brazil ahead just before half-time?

As I say, the ball from Paulinho, the first touch here from Neymar is

excellent. He is under a lot of pressure. Fred comes in. He didn't

do much in the game. He's mishit that into the net. As you will say,

there is no such thing as a bad goal! He is in a good position.

doesn't matter! There was one smell of play where I did say to you, he

never moved from the spot - that was a bit like you! No need for that!

Tomorrow's semifinal is between Spain and Italy and we will be live

on BBC One HD from 7.55pm. Then, on Sunday, we will have live coverage

of the final from the Maracana. That is it from us. We know that Brazil

have made it through, but who will join them? Make sure you join us
