This will probably put more pressure on Brazil for the WC now but it's sure gonna be a fantastic tournament. I still think Brazil have a few weak links though. Fred is a great finisher but is he really gonna be their striker in the WC? and Jo, wtf? Hulk also doesn't look so great atm either. I'm sure they'll be better in a year though, i just don't think i'd worry about facing Fred and Hulk if i'm honest. No idea how Jo gets in, he's hopeless.

I think the opposite actually.

Brazil NT has been criticized - rightfully - for the media and fans a lot since the last WC. Bad managing mainly - but the coach and corruption in the federation - so I think this strengthens us because we needed the confidence push to improve.

I don't think most people think we're ready. We had many problems, but the thing is we've showed progress as the competition went.

It's the right way to go, but it's no way near to have reached the level required. The thing is in the big matches - playing home - what happened tonight may happen again... so we're contenders even though quality wise we're miles away from Spain and Germany

edit: I don't get why Torres get the gold boot if he scored as many goals as Fred... his goals against Tahiti should count as half a goal :P

Assists apparently but Fred does deserve it. That's when Torres should just give it to Fred. He's scored big goals every time. Torres won the Euro 2012 golden boot the same way lol. He must be one of the luckiest footballers ever.

Soo happy for Brazil, that performance shows what a crowd can do for a team. Ran their asses off for the full 90, not many teams can do that.

The international scene just wasn't the same without Brazil competeting on a high level.

Brazil 2014 is gonna be epic! Honestly can't wait for this shit!
