Anyone still want to watch Brazil

More than other countries?

Just watching them at moment as I have a bet on them. And they have some good players. Hoping To get to see Fred at some point.

It’s not origi-Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho though is it?

Or Romario, Bebeto, Careca?

The lists could go on.

Or is it because we see these Brazilians more in the Prem and Champs League?

The World has caught up? We see as good if not better skills by others. Messi, the other Roanaldo.

Germany schooled them? Was speaking to a Brazilian woman on the phone through work, got talking about World Cup, and she wasn’t so confident. Still scarred by the Germany result. Her words Is that a factor now? Brazil lost their demi-god status that day?

Brazil staus as grate entertainers is not wholly deservd

only in 58, 70 & 82 were they any more fun than other teams.

Germany have been historically the great world cup entertainers as have scored and conceded the most gols and have been involved in the majority of grate workd cup games, along with Italy.

Would disagree. In 1950 they were unbelievable, it was their entertaining nature that cost them the World Cup when all they needed was a draw...

They were pretty entertaining in 62 as well although not as impressive without Pele.

In 2002 they were excellent and Ronaldo was an absolute joy to watch. You would have to say 2014 was entertaining for all the wrong reasons!

Germany on the other hand have been involved in some of the worst world cup games ever. The 1990 final was appalling. 2014 wasn't much better. They are just clinical really - although their comeback in 1954 and 1974 was excellent

To answer the OP - I'm looking forward to seeing them. In Tite they have re-discovered themselves again after the Scolari and Dunga car crash

There is a long way to go to get back to the invincibility the Brazilians used to have but their squad on paper is superb. I don't expect them to win it, think it will be Germany once again unfortunately, but expect Brazil to be close along with Argentina

Belgium have an awesome XI but France have the best squad imo. Brazil lie somewhere in between and start the tournament in amazing form.

Germany and Spain will be interesting. Both are coming in with less established starting XI's, but both have well established styles and consistency which make them hard to write off. Personally I think Spain will struggle to score goals against the big teams, while Germany may be rocky at the back.

Portugal have every chance of drawing their way to the finals again.

France & Brazil favourites for me. Belgium, Spain, Germany after that. Everything points to Argentina struggling, but surely sooner or later that attacking talent has to deliver?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Messi will be going hell for leather to put his name on the trophy as international football has been the one main area of negative comparison in relation to Ronaldo.

We saw this with the last game of qualification in which Messi played an absolute blinder and bagged a hat-trick.

It's just whether Messi can carry a team through a whole tournament (assuming the other attacking talents don't show up or gel).

Brazil are always one of the better teams to watch, even when not having a vintage squad.

I look forward to France now like I did when Brazil had their great pomp players like Socarates, Zico, Romario, Bebeto, the 3 Rs etc. Only Neymar falls into that bracket.

Can't wait to see Griezmann, Mbappe and Dembele perform.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You've seen him play more no doubt but what I've seen of him, his name doesn't belong with theirs. I think he's football's most overrated player based on what I've seen.

Socrates and Zico, man, those were THE DAYS DJ

I’d say that’s a bit harsh on Neymar.

Stick a YouTube video of him on

The airport advert had lots of great players also. Roberto Carlos was a great player. And I liked Denilson although he didn’t fulfil potential I guess.
