In his words, this was a chance to "recapture parts of its historic identity and reframe them in a modern, global context".

Analysts deconstructed all the tactical and technical deficiencies that led to the blowout result.

Scolari still relied on the team that won the FIFA Confederations Cup despite many players going through dry spells, and most of them not having any World Cup experience.

Brazil finished fourth after being defeated 3—0 in the third place play-off by the Netherlands on 12 July, where two of the three goals were conceded in the first 17 minutes.

Dumb them down through television and go fishing. Critical thinking — better legally forbit it- why not start with the teachers? If you come to Brazil — you are open-heartedly welcome!
