Except the only flashy team in that bunch was Argentina. (Some might argue that the Dutch and Germans are flashy this year too.) Brazil was NOT flashy: this is the complaint against their coach, Dunga, who was quoted as saying “winning is beautiful” in response to those questioning his grind it out tactics.
If you thought the English media was pouncing all over their team . . . the Brazilian media will be even worse. At least Capello didn’t make the English play a more boring style then they want to play. The Brazilians haven’t been happy, but have kept their mouths (mostly) shut so long as they were winning. But now? Yeah, not so much.
RT @DavidCornDC: #NED over #BRA, #GER over #ARG. European play (sturdy and steady) surpassing South American play (flashy and explosive) at #WorldCup?
