Re: Copa America 2007

As I am away on vacation I couldn't get here sooner to make a comment about Brazil's title. And for me it's something to worry about. People may start thinking that this is the best way to play football - the Dunga way. Three holding halves and not a single purely creative midfielder cannot be the best formaion for a Brazilian national team! I am of the opinion that winning shouldn't be everything.

As Italy's title in 82 impressed many Brqazilian managers and led to a change in the Brazilian teams football style, as those managers started playing defensively thinking that playing offensively was not a winning style, I really fear this can happen againg after Dunga. Let's hope not.

I'll still be away for another week (I'll probably be in Estaduio Centenario tomorrow!), and I'll be in Buenos Aires on Sunday. Even though we didn't deserve the titler, it's always nice to win...
