Brazil’s footballing rivalry with FIFA 14 PS4 Coins(www.fifacoinvip.com/FIFA-14-PS4-COINS.html) Chile is generally a friendly enough affair but the stakes are high this weekend and a note of tension crept in ahead of the meeting between the two sides in Belo Horizonte when the local side’s press officer reacted somewhat angrily to suggests from the opposition camp that match referee might again end up deciding the contest in favour of the hosts.

“We’ll talk about it only once,” said the Brazilian federation’s Rodrigo Paiva firmly, after quickly stepping in when a Chilean journalist had brought up comments made over the last few days by star striker Alexis Sanchez amongst others. “It’s something that’s immature, this kind of pressure is ridiculous. Talking about this is not a lack of respect to Fifa or the referee or the people who work here with 100 years of winning history, it’s a lack of respect to the Brazilian people. We don’t need a referee to win a match; it’s insulting. That’s all the CBF is going to say on the matter.”

Some Irish context for this sort of thing is provided by Giovanni Trapattoni who prior to the World Cup play-off away leg against France in 2009 took what seemed at the time to be the unusual step of suggesting that the referee would need to be strong. Well, we all know how that worked out for him.

It’s not hard, in any case, to understand Sanchez’s point on this occasion for the Brazilians have not found themselves on the wrong side of too many bad calls so far in the competition but Paiva’s put down about “100 years of winning history,” is pretty damning.

The hosts at this World Cup have won the competition five times while their guests have never got beyond the semi-finals and the one occasion on which they got that far was way back in 1962 when they were themselves playing on home soil and, somewhat inevitably, the Brazilians who beat them on the way to title number two.

Their head to head record is discouraging too with the outsiders today having failed to beat their rivals in 12 attempts since the year 2000 and despite the regularity with which the two teams meet, they have never beaten them on Brazilian soil.

Scolari was dismissive enough about the significance of the record when asked about it yesterday: “The statistical data, it is only good for you (the media). This is not the team that played in ‘62 or ‘80; this is the team of 2014. They are now considered one of the best teams in this tournament so far so we’ve to be careful because it’s a dangerous team. It’s football, you never know who will win based on statistics but if you must look at them then we played here (in Belo Horizonte last year in a friendly) and it was 2-2, we played there and it was 2-1. So it’s very close I would say.”

Chile’s coach, Jorge Sampaoli, is an Argentine and so is not overly concerned by the historical record even if, he admits, “it is not an accident”. Whenever history was mentioned last night he simply said that he sees this as an opportunity for Chile to make some. He is, however, deeply respectful of Brazil’s collective ability and PS4 FIFA Coins(www.fifacoinvip.com/FIFA-14-PS4-COINS.html) steered well of the refereeing stuff controversy.
