據442雜志網站6月17日報道，即將到來的巴西與墨西哥的美洲碰撞，裁判將會是場上焦點，兩隊的后防線也會受到極大考驗。
The lowdown
賽事前瞻
Well, that was a shaky start, wasn't it? Brazil, with expectation weighing heavily on their shoulders, looked unsettled in the opening stages of their Group A opener. Suspect choices from the referee at key moments, plus some dogged reclamation of the ball in Brazil's midfield, helped achieve superiority in a match during which Croatia looked good for at least at point.
巴西揭幕戰贏的不夠利索，不是嗎？大家都對巴西寄予厚望，不過巴西在世界杯揭幕戰中顯得有些心神不寧。裁判員關鍵時刻的幾次爭議判罰加上巴西在中場對球權的積極爭奪使得他們贏下了比賽，其實克羅地亞至少在中場控球這一點上做的不錯。
Luiz Felipe Scolari will have drummed up the need for a more composed performance in a fixture which carries the potential to be an entertaining affair, particularly if Brazil defend as shoddily as they did on Thursday night.
巴西主帥斯科拉里將會鼓勵隊員們踢得更加沉著，因為本場對陣有可能變成一場進球極多的表演賽，尤其是巴西的防守如果還像揭幕戰那樣糟糕的話。
The likes of Mexico striker Oribe Peralta will have been warmed by the weaknesses on show. However, manager Miguel Herrera has defensive issues of his own; at set-pieces, Mexico are a car crash waiting to happen. The likes of Neymar and Oscar will be able to generate a mood of panic with every free-kick.
由于巴西防守這一薄弱環節，墨西哥前鋒佩拉爾塔（Peralta）本場比賽隨時能收到巴西后方的大禮，不過主帥埃雷拉（Herrera）卻有自己的防守理念。按照兩隊賽前戰術布置來看，墨西哥就像是一部即將撞車的汽車，巴西的內馬爾和奧斯卡的每一腳任意球都會造成一定的威脅。
In their opening 1-0 win over Cameroon, Mexico were unlucky not to score more; officials struck off two perfectly good goals. They will need their officials to improve if they're to take anything from this fixture.
墨西哥在揭幕戰中1:0小勝喀麥隆。由于裁判吹掉了兩個漂亮的進球，墨西哥很不幸不能擴大比分牌上的比分。如果墨西哥要在本場比賽中有所收獲的話，他們要寄希望裁判的吹罰水準能夠提升。
What the local media say
當地媒體的聲音
"Those pre-match emotions were translated into nerves during the game’s opening exchanges. Then they were given a real shock when Marcelo turned Ivica Olic’s left-sided cross into his own net on 11 minutes. Frustration rose in the stands. There was no immediate recreation from the hosts, and boos began to be heard around the Arena Corinthians terraces. They were silenced by their key man, Neymar. The Barcelona forward was given more than a helping hand by Oscar." –Rio Times Online
里約時代在線網（Rio Times Online）：“巴西賽前的迫不及待在場上卻轉化成了緊張。當上半場11分鐘馬塞洛將奧利奇的左路傳中碰進自家大門時，隊員們感到十分震驚，失望寫在每個人的臉上。主隊并沒有及時做出回應，而看臺上的球迷開始發出噓聲。之后核心內馬爾的閃耀結束了現場的噓聲，而奧斯卡給了這位巴薩前鋒強有力的幫助。”
"They have shown distinct signs of revival under the aggressive guidance of Miguel Herrera – the team’s fourth coach since last September – and should offer plenty of entertainment to the many fans who have followed them down to Brazil." – The News (Mexico)
墨西哥新聞：“在埃雷拉積極進取的領導下（去年九月他還僅僅是球隊的四號教練），球隊有了復興的跡象。在對戰巴西的比賽中，他所率領的墨西哥會給眾多球迷奉獻很多的精彩場面。”
Key battle: Marcelo vs Paul Aguilar
關鍵對位：馬塞洛VS阿吉拉爾
Real Madrid's left-back is the Moonpig.com of defenders: forever forcing a card of dubious design on someone. Against Croatia, the dismal sight of seeing Marcelo flashing phantom yellows towards the ref was only overshadowed by the suspect positioning of both him and Dani Alves on the other flank throughout the game.
皇馬左邊后衛馬塞洛猶豫不決的防守就像Moonpig賀卡網站那樣，總是會收到裁判送出的紅黃牌。在對陣克羅地亞的比賽中，馬塞洛揪著黃色球衣，失望地向裁判抱怨，不過這與他和另一側阿爾維斯（Dani Alves）整場比賽中令人疑惑的態度相比就顯得相形見絀了。
Croatia had clearly worked on exposing the space behind Brazil's full-backs as they marauded forward. Pacey, attack-minded defender, Aguilar – who will be duelling with Marcelo throughout this game – might be able to find some space behind his opponent. If he does, target-man Peralta might find some fortune.
在揭幕戰中克羅地亞瘋狂向前推進，很顯然他們努力在巴西后防身后的空擋位置創造進球的空間。阿吉拉爾是一位具有進攻意識的后衛，而本場他將和馬塞洛比比拼防守的同時可能會在對手的身后尋找到一些空間。如果那樣的話，前鋒佩拉爾塔可能會覓得一些良機。
