I agree, but you would only understand if you were Brazilian. We have an insane feeling towards the WC, we want to win it everytime and for most of the public not getting into the semi-finals is a failure. Take Dunga as an example, he had 4 amazing years (won everything) and because of one shit half against Netherlands, everyone makes him a villain. In 2006 we had a even bigger expectation. We had an amazing team on paper and we were playing a very sexy football. But if you do prepare well, you will lose. We were doing so great that players thought the cup was already ours. Mainly because of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkrBXU0P1U8 Hernanes has more fame in Europe than in Brazil (dont ask me why). Since we dont have Thiago Silva, this is my prediction: Julio Cesar Dani Alves - Dante - David Luiz - Marcelo Paulinho - Ramires Oscar - Ronaldinho Luis Fabiano - Neymar For 2014: Julio Cesar Dani Alves - Thiago Silva - Dante - Marcelo David Luiz - Paulinho Lucas - Oscar - Neymar Fred I seriously think Oscar has a safe place in Brazil starting lineup. You have no idea what it means to have a magical performance (like Juve) against Argentina twice.
