My problem with Brazil is that I can't help compare them to past sides. the 82 world cup is the one I remember the most. Zico, Socrates, Falcao ETC. Back then and indeed before they were simply pure magic to watch. Now what I see is a plae shadow of that magic. They've for over a decade now sacrificed the magic for getting results. Sure they still got the flair, but it's a more cynical game they play now. It's not their fault for if they want to win, they must take this position. For me though, it just does not feel right.
The golden age has passed in favour of a more cynical approach, and for me thats a real shame.
