Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It was a staggering result, but the way many are going on you would think that football in Brazil is finished. All on the back of a crazy result, a freak result. Germany are very good, easily one of the best team's in the world and they got everything spot on last night, but how bad were Brazil? Every single player had a mare and as a team they were all over the place. They will bounce back though, and keep doing what they have always done, challenge for every tournament they participate in. They need to make some drastic changes though, they need to ditch some of the older European players and put some faith in players that play in Brazil. They badly need a good all-round centre-forward and they need a midfield dynamo, far too light-weight and limp in there offensively. As for Scolari... he has shown he is past his sell by date with awful tactics, team selection and a general negative approach throughout. Brazil have been poor in the main and they can thank some dubious refereeing decisions, being the host nation and the performances of Neymar in particular for getting so far because they have been rank. The beauty for them, however, is things can only get better surely, after this?! Brazil are no longer 'Brazil' as we know of them, though, and never will be. They will put out good teams, maybe even a great team one day, but they will never play like the Brazil of old because football has changed far too much, internally within their own game and of course globally. And that's a crying shame as a football fan. That's why Chille were so much fun to watch and even Costa Rica, because they played without fear and played their own game. Brazil to me are kind of having an identity crisis. Luiz is a perfect example. Here you have a CB who has to be tactically disciplined and switched on, yet he plays like a free spirit marauding forward without due care. He is quintessentially Brazilian in that sense, but the modern game demands him to be, well, un-Brazilian. I'm liking this German side mind, a mix up of typical German efficiency and steel with pace, power and finesse. Arguably the best German side for decades and very well balanced at that. Anyway, howay Holland for the World Cup! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, howay Holland for the World Cup! You speak as though Brazil have had no no nonsense defenders. On the contrary, they've had many over the years. David Luiz is the exception to the rule....he clearly is a very talented footballer just not as a centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
