World Cup roundup: Brazil, Portugal advance after 0-0 tie

World Cup roundup: Brazil, Portugal advance after 0-0 tie
Brazil is not taking any responsibility for the disappointing 0-0 draw with Portugal on Friday in Durban, saying the Portuguese's defensive setup kept the much-anticipated match from turning into a spectacle.

The Brazilians say they did their part, going for the win from the beginning at Moses Mabhida Stadium, while claiming Portugal did all it could to keep the match from opening up.

"It's really boring when we have to play against an opponent with 11 players on the back, only trying to draw," Brazil striker Luis Fabiano said.
