Brazil is spelled with an A

This blog today leaves architecture on hold to talk about other important things like football.
I agree that Dunga is not a genius of futebol-arte (artsy soccer) but neither were Scolari, Zagalo and Parreira, nor even Vicente Feola who, in 1958, only launched Pela after much insistence of other players.
I also agree that Brazil in 82 was fantastic, as well as Holland in 74 and the Hungary in 54. They should have won, but did not.

But today I write to acknowledge a team that arrived in Venezuela without many stars that claimed they needed to “rest”, started with a loss to Mexico and ended up massacring the ever-favorite Argentina in the end.

As the Argentinean La Nacion wrote today, “Brazil might be spelled with a B, but is never a B team. Two consecutive Copa America finals should be enough to certify that”.

So be it, independent of Dunga, forever.
