Maybe it was the strident hum of the omnipresent Ellis Park vuvuzelas, but this was a Brazilian performance that missed several beats. So much for samba rhythm.
In all fairness, Brazil were due a prosaic performance and there will be relief that they got this pedestrian effort out of the way before Sunday's Confederations Cup final meeting with the United States. That South Africa matched, indeed surpassed Brazil for chunks of the game was not something anyone anticipated.
