And as I just bought a couple Vasco de Gama shirts for my sons, perhaps I'm a living example.

Very few say they'd rather watch Brazil over their clubs. If you wanna know why, I suggest this post I've done few months ago. http://brazil.theoffside.com/national-team/why-brazilians-no-longer-care-about-the-national-team.html Julien,

More and more this team has no identity with Brazilians." Really?I thought the Brazilians were proud of their amazing national team.Do they care more about clubs there? “it’s not that brazil doesn’t want to take the top stars, it’s that they don’t care enough about the national team to play tounaments other than the world cup.

Team work is an important part of the game and just because we got a little bit lucky that Robinho's aim was off doesn't mean the team can relax and say "we beat brazil so the rest of the tournament will be no problem" I like Nery but I just wish he would pass to his team mates when there is a very crystal clear opportunity. @ Fernando

And that was because in these game Mexico was better than Brazil. I dont care if Nery is not team player if he can score those goals, in the first half Juan got mad because Castilla was just playing with him (That was nice). And apart from Castillo and Marquez, the other players were not what we consider our best. Osorio, Pardo and Salcido didnt play because they are "tired" (Or so they said so), Borgetti and Guardado were injured and Oswaldo Sanchez, Bofo Bautista and Chuautemoc Blanco were in the bench. So we won without our best players against a brazil team without their superstars (So we are in equal in that). So the same, the argument that it was mexicos sixt game and brazils first , is just pointless as most of the mexican team that played yesterday against brazil didnt play in the Gold Cup.
