I agree with Bruno. I know other nations has caught up, but is it means that Brazil should stop improving!? I know we are sometimes too harsh on Brazilian players. But you want to be No 1 and world champion, you have to take this. Other nations are working hard to catch up. Brazil wants to be world champion and they needs to work harder.

tough win, but at least it was somewhat a wake up for brazil. its not gonna come easy, you must fight hard for it.

im following brazil for 2 reasons. 1-its brazil!! watching them play is enjoyable, magical and makes you realize that whatever football can give for entertainment it will come from the Seleção. 2-im a Milanista, i want to follow our players, Dinho & Pato. plus im writing the Ronaldinho blog at the offside and keeping a close eye on Ronnie. feel free to visit and comment there https://ronaldinho.theoffside.com/

that’s exaclty the point guys. if other nations caught up, you cannot play a slow game. it has to be fast, players must change positions and rotate a lot, like modern football requires. If that’s done, like everybody else does, the Brazilian talent will make the difference. Now, if you guys wanna make the point Brazil has no talents, don’t even waist our times posting here. We have a mediocre coach who shaped a mediocre squad.

Josimars has a point: other nations have caught up and Brazil can’t expect to waltz past everyone. though many in Brazil still believe that regardless of the quality of the opposition “Brazil can only beat itself” (Brasil só perde para ele mesmo). and if Brazil lose to Argentina in the semis, it will be because ‘Brazil played badly’ and not because Argentina were better

“the number 2 from the African nation deserved it”??? The theatricals of the Brazilian player make me wanna puke. Reminds me of Rivaldo in 2002 against Turkey…

Brazil played well. Bruno’s article is describing the state of football from the past. Bruno seems to think that Brazil can just run rings around other teams as in the past. Those days are over.Teams have improved especially the African teams. Their players are getting alot of exposure playing in the leagues all over the world just like the Brazlian players. Ronaldinho is still overweight but he is playing better and better with every match and the players around him has raised their game inorder to play with him. If he goes to the bench Brazil will lose as they need the experience that he brings. Lucas for me is the most improved player playing for the Selecao followed by Marcelo. Even Diego who I have criticized alot in the past is playing his heart out and that is what I wanted to see.

i think that Brazil actually played better than they had done in the group stage (though that wasn’t hard to do!). Cameroon were quick and tough so it wasn’t easy for Brazil. but Arentina or Holland will be even more difficult
