Why is it that whenever Brazil have a half-decent performance, we have commentators purring over them as if they are champions elect? Brazil looked the better side than Scotland, but the Scots did threaten them at times, and better teams may exploit that. Yet, the commentators I had on were speaking as if that was some all time classic Brazil performance, where no team could possibly defeat them. They weren’t that good; they had Vini and Cunha threaten, but other times, they looked vulnerable. Netherlands or Japan could well beat them and I would laugh if they did, given how much fawning they got today for what was a standard solid performance.
