I don't like both Melo and Gilberto Silva in midfield. To borrow a term from another sport, there was better fore-aft balance to their play with Ramirez and Daniel Alves flanking the sweeper. I hope Elano recovers so that he starts in Alves' spot and Alves takes over from Ramirez on the left.

It was a pity that both Medel and Ponce where suspended, but if they had played maybe it was 2-0 instead of 3-0. Bielsa played faithful to his style, but Brazil didn't show the laxity of the 1st round against North Korea. Defenders left us no space, we got owned on the air game (as expected - what is the average height difference, at least 10 cm?) and Dunga's pragmatic style with Brazilian technique makes for deadly counters. I'm pleased that the Brazilian goals all came from counters or corners, and ball posession was pretty much even, which tells the same story I saw on the TV. We played our guts out, we tried for our game and went for it all game long instead of surrendering the ball, but Brazil was simply better. Would have liked Sanchez to score at least one in this World cup, but well, we leave with our heads held high, which is more than what Acosta (or worse, Olmos) can say.

The other, > Humberto, was good in the qualifiers which of course means nothing. He (Humberto) was on fire on the qualies, but got injured a month before the WC or so. He played about a match an a half in this WC, and against the Swiss and the Brazilian defenses. Not much to do there :(

The team's overall play seemed to flow better. > I hope Elano recovers so that he starts in Alves' spot and Alves > takes over from Ramirez on the left. Interesting idea. Not sure Dunga would go with it though. In any case, I'm not particularly optimistic about Elano's recovery. Abra�o, Luiz Mello |
