rutchiekens:

U're a "little" right about the team but u're wrong about the 2002 team(their best team ever thanks to Ronaldo)

But football is evolving.

The 2002 team would struggle in this generation cos There are more stars in every country and countries that don't really have stars play as a team.

true that.more stars and improved tactical and physical training.but that 2002 team was highly talented though.this 2014 team lacked that,so many times they got to the opposition penalty box and just seemed clueless,misplaced passes and shots.

J12:

Their age mates in the Italian squad won the cup. That world cup presented the finest generation of footballers in the past eight years. Such a star studded world cup will never be seen again ever. Give credit to the brazillian team.

Its like you are not getting

Overrated bunch of players.
Coutinho is far better than Paulinho while Oscar is no match for Lucas Moura.
I'll pick Liverpool's Lucas Leivia over Gustavo any day, Scolari bleeped up with his selection, Miranda would have offer more to the defence than the error prone David Luiz.

Yes........

The only players worth the jersey on their back is Neymar and oscar...the rest na APOLOGY

for the fact that Fred is on that team tells me that PDP is in brazil

rutchiekens:

Your opinion but Oscar was their best player in this tournament.

Why are u hating on his talent. This seems to be a Nigerian problem.

best playa my azz. without neymar brazil are nothin.. coutinho or moura,firmino are much better fit for brazil

On paper, it's far being the worst.

However, based on performances and results, in the last two games - and the amount of goals they conceded, it might be.

You've to blame Scolari for his tactics and team selection.

That said, this team still has a lot of young players for the future, that they can adapt to a new style, and system. Including a few players who missed the world cup finals squad. Before the bottom-up transformation that Brazilian football will witness would start bearing fruits.

Personally, I think it's like a blessing in disguise for Brazilian football, and time for them to get back to the basics. German football also went through the same thing, after the Mathiaus/Klinsman/voller era.

Brazil should be back with the joga bonito football this generation missed. I can't wait for what the next 10 years is going to look like.

Viva Brazil!

^^^^^^^

WHICH joga bonita wetin ??

When everyone is running to europe and are getting contaminated to the european style of play...

kobikwelu: Yes........

Why politicized?

They once gave us Romario, Ronaldo,
Bebeto, Rivaldo, R carlos, Ronaldinho
But since 2006, they started producing
classless players like
Ramirez, Pato, Filipe melo, Rafael, Fred,
Jo, David luiz, Hulk

kobikwelu: ^^^^^^^

WHICH joga bonita wetin ??

That won't stop anything if there's a system and style in place. Ever wondered why certain Brazilian players, who were top scorers in Europe never used to make the Brazilian team? Mario Jardel? Elber?

C'mon a lot of German players play with flair, that's lacking in this generation of Brazilian players, and they're Europeans. It's about the system and style you want, not where the player plays.

jhydebaba: U'll remain the best until u meet the best, then u'll join the rest.



They tried their best atleast we have Brazilian teams that don't get to smell the semifinals.


So I don't agree with u that they are the worst.

Its not about getting to the semi final, its the overrall assessment of the team we are looking at comparing to past Brazillian squad

I can't remember the last time a Brazilian squad lost two matches in a row, not to talk of conceeding ten goals in a wc tourney

Jogo bonito that couldn't win 1982 wc for them

Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, R carlos, Rivaldo were in europe in 2002 and they won the wc

It doesn't matter where you play, if its not in you, you can't give it!

zz

Let me just throw this in there.

Most people forget about the dark ages of German football, when the only player they had who could go past anyone was Mehmet Scholl. That was before this generation. I remember England smacking Germany 5-1 in Munich back then. Now, see how Germany is now the darling of everyone.

That's basically what Brazilian football is going through. And in all honesty, I won't call this team the worst ever. They're an average team who played under immense pressure to deliver. This team played alright at last year's confed's cup.

rutchiekens:

Pato didn't play Oooo... He is very good but I think he has injury problems.

I never said that he played, just listing the kind of players that Brazil produces nowadays

If i dont say Worst who will

At least they were the most interesting team at that tournament. That team had a lot of great players and played with flair the Brazilian way.

Sometimes, it isn't about winning, it's about protecting a tradition.

Amack: BREAKING: Wenger bids for entire Brazil squad after impressive 4th place finish.

Lol coming from a chav right but you went trophyless last season

I don't know all the Brazilian sides in history

HisMajesty1: I don't think so. I feel they are just unlucky.

. Unlucky 7- 1 and you call than unlucky. They were rather lucky to have come this far.

. Tradition at the expense of winning ??

vislabraye: . Unlucky 7- 1 and you call than unlucky. They were rather lucky to have come this far.

Yea you right about the words in Bold...


How on earth will someone say the Brazilians were unlucky to have been beaten 7-1 ? What about 3-0 by Netherlands?


But Spain were what? Losing to Netherlands 5-1 and Chile 2-0 respectively!

. I remember Mario Jardel and Giovanni Elber. But you can't blame them because you had the phenomenon at his best. It was hard not to choose him.

supereagle: Football Is For All (FIFA) Assited them to go far in this tournament.

u get it wrong
FIFA-football isn't for africans

So many factors led to their dismal finish to their World Cup journey

1. Taking too much for granted

2. Underestimating their opponents

2. Over-estimating their abilities

4. Just plain bad luck

5. And so much more....

Footbal changes, B4 it waz Brazilian ,4yrs ago down it waz Spanish n dis d era of Germans , it al boils down to u makin use of ur time beter wen it calls

The Brazilian coach isnt the problem. The brazilian team is just terrible. How are the mighty brazil fallen?

After watching the brazilian teams first few matches, i told people that cared to listen that this team wouldnt make it far.

If u ask me, who i go ask

The Brazil Contains lot of Chelsea Cursed players how would dey be successful.

When I see this Brazil team, the vex I felt with super eagles and Keshi this WC just melts away

chamboy: The Brazil Contains lot of Chelsea Cursed players how would dey be successful.

Well, it could have been worse if they had gunners (perpetual 4th place) or LFC (choke masters) players
