The thing about Brazil is they get hyped up by fans and then you get a lot of bandwagons. I knew before the world cup started they wouldn't win it. If you look at things objectively and see they don't have the team, all the hype in the world isn't going to make them win. People act like Brazil is invincible and are gonna win automatically. They won in 1994 (lucky) and again in 2002. Before that they hadn't won for decades. I was surprised they got as far as they did. And if you wanna talk about games being fixed and the refs influencing the game, it was that way moreso for Brazil than anyone else. The Brazil vs Colombia game made that very clear. No excuses about injured or suspended players. Every team is vulnerable to this and some played without some of their star players either. Neymar and Silva would not have made that big of a difference. The Germany OFFENSE overwhelmed the Brazilian DEFENSE. Neymar is a 22 year old kid he is not that great nor is experienced. He might have got lucky and scored a goal but I don't think he would have. Anyway, trying to predict how a game could have been makes no difference. The REALITY is Germany mopped the floor with Brazil.
