I don’t know what Dunga was thinking, but with the choices he made for goal-keepers and forwards, we might see for the first time Brazil being beaten by a 4 goal difference or more. Doni, Hélton and Jô brings shiver to fans in Brazil. Marcelo is a promise that seems to be going nowhere, and Alex Silva from São Paulo is not that reliable. And who the hell is Afonso? I hate those players that have no career in Brazil and appear on the national team. But those usually end up doing nothing, like Elber and Sony Anderson.
The only good thing is the midfield. Despite a limited coach, Brazil is so full of good talents that, they end up overcoming a coach like Dunga.
The only reason I don’t predict a huge victory of England is that they usually bend over to Brazil on the club and national team level. Against Turkey I smell a boring match.
