Ah, maybe we are just too demanding, but that old fluid brazlian offense is gone for a long time now. Last time the team reallyexcited me was 98, with the esception of 2005 confederations cup, specially the final against Argentina
Last WC I actually rooted against Brazil since day 1, if we were champions the stupid Dunga mentality would be dominant for a decade or 2. The 82 loss to italy was much more painful than the WC loss by itself. The mentality of "joga bonito"(play beautifully) doesnt win games or tourneys took over here, as if you had to play badly to win. deep sigh
Fred aint that bad, but he is a target man, but the ball just dont reach him.
Colombia still dont faced a team that good, but they definitely have an upside. I dont remember of any other team that played consistently all games through the WC.
