World Cup is coming to and end. My first team lost, but my second team, Netherlands is already in the final. Good? Nope. Still a bummer that Brazil had to lose. Dunga's fault. Though I expect them to win the World Cup, in my heart, I know the squad was not good enough. It's not 'samba' enough.
Dunga pulled a 'Domenech' with his ignorant selection of player. He don't want to listen to people. He chose based on his opinion, based on his brain. Bird brain.
Let's look at his selection.
Felipe Melo; voted as Worse Player of The Season in Serie A was chosen to run the defensive midfielder role. He suck ass. If you look at his record, bad, very bad. 28 game started, 85 fouls committed, 9 yellows and 2 reds. That's not a good record of a defensive midfielder. He was bad.
But Dunga brought him in. Along with Julio Baptista, Elano, Kleberson and Josue.
Kleberson; Manchester United flop, injury prone, a short stint with Benfica with no play time and currently in Flamengo; fresh from injury, he got the Brazil call from Dunga. Here we got a dude who has no involvement in any game, yet he was chosen.
Elano; a good midfielder but has not started a single game in 09/10 season with Manchester City said it all. He doesn't have enough game time to be fit and play. Yet, he was chosen.
Josue; I'm not a big fan. And his record said it all, 31 starts in Bundesliga and with only 1 goal. Shit.
Julio Baptista; made 10 starts in all of the games with AS Roma and scored 4 goals. Another shitty player.
And along with Ramires, Grafite, Gilberto Melo and Thiago Silva, I could only smack my own forehead and go wtf?
No Diego, Pato, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Luis Henrique?? Nice.
They played with 4-5-1 formation with the-not-so-fit Kaka played at Luis Fabiano's back. It wasn't properly working. Melo and Gilberto Silva were too defensive. Elano and Robinho wasn't clicking, and Fabiano was alone up front; which from my point of view, he's a marksman, not a dribbling striker like Ronaldo.
The Brazil I prefer, the substitutes are supposed to be as strong as the first 11. But this was Dunga's brain, not mine. When Brazil were trailing 2-1 against Netherlands, he looked at the bench and there were no game changers. He brought in Nilmar to opt out Luis Fabiano. Imagine if Ronaldinho, Pato, Adriano or even Diego were on the team, there would be more pace and accuracy on the team. Brazil looked out of place when they were trailing. They looked like an 'European Brazil'. No samba, no dribble. Just pass and pass.
And that was boring. No intensity. No urgency. No creativity.
All I gotta say is, Dunga, it was your fault. You're an idiot.
