Jonathan Stevenson: It's just not like watching Brazil

I have a question for Dunga: Will the real Brazil please stand up?

At Wembley on Friday, in front of nearly 90,000 expectant fans and a global audience, the most famous football nation on earth gave yet another performance which belies their status as the guardians of the beautiful game.

It seems like I've been reading this kind of horseshit since I've been reading about Brazil. The fact of the matter is that they haven't played fantasty football since they won WC94. There were complaints that those champions played a boring style, yet those came from the same mouths that complained that Brazil hadn't won the world cup since Mexico '70. Playing beautiful flowing football is great if your main ambition is to entertain but if you're out to win pragmatism has to have a place at the table. People want to have it both ways with Brazil but if Dunga is the coach he'll always be more concerned with winning then satisfying pundits with flair.
