I agree, and to further the point, some other teams are now looking like exciting teams to watch. Mexico really shocked me, they were awesome to watch. Columbia are another, Germany of course, still plenty of the "old guard" and some new blood.
Neymar was the only really talented player, without him they completely fell to bits. They were not great with him either, but at least he could drag them through. Him and Ronaldo are pretty much having to carry very poor teams.
