It's not like the post WC rankings are any better. Ecuador passed Algeria, Uruguay passed Switzerland and Brazil (and the rankings do not take into account margin of victory or goals scored/suffered, so it wasn't the 7-1) and so on. Though at least we can observe the beauty of Germany being 1 and Brazil being 7.

Ah, yes, a defense that doesn't defend. Doubtlessly the best players from the World Cup.

Let me share some unique Brazil soccer experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the attacker, follow the defenders movement. Look for defenses to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the attacking third, not the first. Watch the suicidal runs and lack of decision making. Don't appreciate the run that was made, appreciate the run that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful.

Watch the instant counter-attack applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental stupidity and lack of defensive discipline required to maintain positioning without tracking back for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly dumb to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes hilarious.

Or you can just say lol Brazil matches are boring and hate them.
