weird performance from brazil... they actually looked pretty good after the two goals and had some good chances to score..... David luiz has cost them this tournament though... so many of these goals were scored where he was way up the pitch for no apparent reason(he's been like a poor mans lucio).. I think big phil buggered it up this time, the full backs would push up so high and when countered would just meander back, so the dodgy moustached gustavoe fellow would have to fill in at full back and that would leave very little cover in the midfield area leaving the centre backs totally exposed(and when luiz was so far up, that reallymeans thiago silva :S)... just dire tactics from brazil.. The players are not this bad and a lot of the blame has to fall on big phil in my opinion..
Oscar was a bright spot for brazil though, he has been pretty good and he could have had a penalty v the dutch... problem was it looked like he was already going over when he was fouled .. So i dont know if that is really a penalty... but i think i would have given it
I'm a Brazil fan and this is going to sound weird... but the last two losses were probably the best thing (long term) that could've happened to Brazil. They were clearly not the best team in the WC, but were acting like the trophy was theirs already. They thought the emotion of "let's win one for Neymar" and the local crowd cheering wildly for them.... was enough to carry them to the title. They forgot that you have win it on the field. Against Germany they looked like shit. I would have to assume they'll use this disaster in a positive way.... and retool completely in preparation for the next Cup. Motivation is good no matter what the method.
I am excited it is about to start.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
