Brazil...Brazil...Brazil...I am sick and tired of hearing Brazil's name being chanted all the time everywhere..If you don't particularly follow any team or know much about Football, you like Brazil.....To be perfectly honest, I think Brazil is extremely overrated coming into this world cup..Yeah they are the defending champs, but in 2002 Brazil didn't really play any elite team including an average German squad in the finals that were playing without Michael Ballack. Another thing I notice is that Brazil always seems to be in an easier group than lets say Argentina or England, who for the second straight world cup are in a tough group. After watching their lack luster performance against Croatia who should have at least equalized, I am further convinced of Brazil being a team not as good as advertised. Ronaldo is done, and teams are going to use Croatia's strategy of neutralizing Ronaldinho and attacking an overly aggresive and too often an undisciplined Brazilian back line.Kaka, however is a player to watch. There are so many good teams in this world cup and all we hear is Brazil. If I am a brazil fan, I am not looking forward to playing either the Czech Republic or Italy in the second round. Either one of those teams are more than capable of knocking them out of the tournament. I don't think Brazil wants to play the Czechs. Nedved could be the player of the tournament and if Milan Baros and koller return to form, they are dangerous. Spain can beat Brazil also. This time it will be tough for the lunatic brasillia.
