No Sympathy for Brazil

When it comes to football, Brazil comes in our mind instantly. Brazil has been producing wold class players over the years and no doubt they still have fantastic individual player across the continent. However, I also feel when we talk about football, people and players in Brazil seem to be dominating the conversation - it seem they are the creator of football and play better than anybody else, showing their superior that nobody can do what they do. With all respect to the players, what we have seen in 2014 world cup was the nightmare for what they thought to good at it. "Disorganised" in the team is the key word to describe Brazilian team in 2014 world cup and perhaps poor selection in the squad. 

Somehow they managed to reach in the Quarter Final where Germany thrashed (the team thought to be the best in the world) by 1-7 goals. I watched players crying on the ground after the game - I have no sympathy for them at all, for me they simply could not perform in the game. Unfortunately, they were thrashed by Holland again for the 3rd position (3-0). 

Where is that BRAZILIAN type of football gone (where we always say wowow)? I certainly feel in the world cup Brazil team failed to unite as a team rather playing individual selfish game. As as example, David Luiz. I hope they will learn the lesson from this disappointing world cup and play as a team in coming national games.
