No I don't think you have rose tinted specs. The 1982 Brazil squad is widely regarded as one of its best of all time. What with the likes of Zico, Falcao, and Socrates amongst others.
The Brazil 1982 team would take some beating. No disrespect to the current squad. of a few decades ago the 1970 team for me the best maybe? |

Missed the game - sounds like a good one.
Unlucky Chile but Brazil go on without being convincing it seems. Hope Webb had a good game. |

Unlucky Chile.
Some great individual performances, from Medel and Vidal in particular. Brazil roll on. It was a relatively even game so perhaps penalties was the best way to decide it. |

Brazil showed tenacity here, up against possibly one of the best teams in the competition
This Brazil are obviously not a "great" team, but I think they have just passed their toughest hurdle on the way to the final. Nemayr may have been largely anonymous (I missed the first half), but from what I saw ( brief highlights) he was being pretty closely covered by two Chileans when ever he got on the ball. |

Brazil will beat Columbia.
Quite easily.. Columbia have scored some great goals and Rodriguez is a great player, but they haven't really dominated on the pitch against Uruguay. |

I have seen this so often happen in recent times, that I wondered whether the no stopping on the run-up to a penalty rule had been removed. I really wish this was enforced, because that kick today shouldn't have stood and should have been taken again. Still, yeah, hosts and all that jazz.

Even as going so far as to put words in our mouths by telling us that we want Brazil to win to keep the party alive, or something. Well no, I think I'll make my own mind up thank you very much. Columbia appear to be more attractive to me than Brazil because they have played football that has really impressed me. Holland too I credit more than Brazil. |

Do you really think that Brazil would have gone into the match with Uruguay if they had drawn them in the second round by playing pretty football and impressing us with dazzling skills? It's not even as if Brazil have impressed in the group stage with arguably easier opponents. |

I really hope Brazil or Argentina don't win this World Cup.

That said, Brazil 'ordinary' is still ahead of most people's best, but this time around I think they're going to have serious trouble - should they meet - with Holland, Germany or Argentina. |

Yes. This was the first Brazil match I've bothered to watch, being only a World Cup dabbler, and I was very surprised at how ordinary the team looked. Especially their star player Naymar, who wasn't in the game much. Hulk was incredible (sorry) but no one else really stood out for me in the Brazil side. Chile tried so hard, and were basically beaten by bad luck and then enormous pressure.

You were lucky as you caught Hulk's only good game so far. Neymar is clearly going to be a great player and has been carrying the whole team. There's some decent defensive players like Thiago Silva and Luis Gustavo but not much else. But I think their name is on the trophy.

Brazil would need a hell of a lot of luck to win this tournament. I can't recall a single team that has looked so poor at the group and last 16 stages going on to win a World Cup. I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if Colombia send them packing in the quarter final (and they won't need a penalty shoot out to do it either).

I suppose the only winners I can think of that looked as poor or even worse in the group stages was Italy in 1982. Three miserable draws against Poland, Cameroon and Peru. But they came to life in the second group round when they famously beat both defending champs Argentina and the best team, Brazil, in the second round and never looked back. Brazil will have to come to life to beat Colombia and if they do, who will stop them?
The stats are certainly against them. Five out of six teams who won a penalty shoot out at the last 16 stage were eliminated in the quarter finals, and no host nation has ever had the ignominy of having to go through a penalty shoot out in the second round in order to reach the quarter final. |

Last night was the night when Brazil should have come to life and turned on the style but instead they laboured to a 1-1 draw (and only the woodwork saved them at the end). As I said, I don't think I've ever seen a team look this bad at the last 16 stage and go on to win the tournament. Colombia turned in the type of performance last night that Brazil 'should' have done in the earlier match.
