Brazil for me have lost their soul. They for whatever reason decided after not winning anything after 2002 to change tact and feel that they had to play a more european style of football, correct me if I am wrong but I think it was Dunga who thought this was a good idea.
Now Fifa didnt help things with the ruling that was brought in regarding their sacred game Futsal - something to do with a lighter ball being used as Futsal was being distributed around the globe.
But Brazil once stood for the freedom of expression, watching the likes of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cafu, Romario, Bebeto, Branco, R.Carlos amongst others is what made myself and I am sure others always excited to watch them whenever the opportunity arose. They have now sadly become a very average european style side - the sooner they find their soul and remember what made them great in the first place, the better they will be.
Obviously the state of Brazilian football meant that they had to sell their younger talented players to european clubs at the first attempt, but I remember that Brazil back in its pomp also selected highly talented home based players so that no other nation knew what their attributes were.
Look at Ganso, a highly talented player back in Brazil has now become a forgotten footballer at Sevilla.
Brazil needs to look at itself in the mirror because it has become a shadow of what it once was and stood for. For me Neymar isnt fit to lace either of Ronaldinho’s , Romario’s or Ronaldo’s boots and this performance tonight has cemented the fact for me that his reputation is finished
