Dunga will go, a new coach will take over and change the personnel. The only major change will be a ball playing midfielder alongside a DM. -- http://soccer-europe.com Rss feed : http://soccer-europe.com/RSS/News.xml

It's not like we lost to a team that made a point of playing an artful, entertaining style (mind you, this is not a criticism of the Dutch by any means). > If they had won with > this Dunga brand of football it may have changed their play for the > next 20 years. You seem to assume that Dunga is guilty to change the fundamental approach of the Brazilian NT. He has not. If anything, Dunga is "guilty" of implementing some much needed work ethic and commitment to the NT. I hope this doesn't die with this World Cup campaign. > Now I think they will go back to what makes their fans > happy and they are really best at. What makes their fans happy is winning.

This cliche had only been dragged up everytime > Brazil crashed out since 1990 -- but not a mention in 1994 and 2002. But facts are facts: Brazil, as anyone who really believed they would not win the tournament would've been forced to believe (like or lump it), laid an egg and clearly beat themselves, knowing that they were (before today) that much better than anyone else. Brazil beat themselves. Mike
From: Vuvuzela on 2 Jul 2010 20:55 They do not and never did play "beautiful football". Back in 54 they brutally beat up the Hungarians and that has never changed. They have had good teams and players but did not play better than say the dutch or Germans of the 70s. It is a myth jut like the myths about England being so good all the time and Rooney being a world class player.

I agree. It pained my heart greatly when i saw my beloved brazil playing for a draw and looking utterly disinterested in the second half vs portugal. > What makes their fans happy is winning. > > Abra o, > > Luiz Mello |
