We're not arguing whether brazil played like poo poo and defended in a comical fashion or not, we're arguing whether it was "obvious to anyone who knows anything about football" before the tournament. And the simple answer is that no, it wasn't.

This is getting too boring and D&D-esque, the simple fact is that many people, including some who do know "poo poo" about football, thought that Brazil's defense was actually one if its better qualities. The majority of critique before they got smashed by the Germans was at the strikers Scolari chose to summon.
