I kind of agree with you but I don't think Silva's absence made that much difference. No doubt he held the defence together pretty well in previous games and organised team mates playing in the right positions defensively. Virtually all 7 goals conceded were as a result of defensive errors but even with his presence, the best Brazil could have hoped for would have been a 1-0 or 2-0 defeat I think.

Neymar's absence was irrelevant. When your back line concedes 5 goals by half-time no striker (however world class he is) is ever gonna make a difference.

They would probably still have lost on the day with Silva in the team, but not as disastrously.

Many members of the current Brazilian team are not guility of being bad players or a bad team or even having a bad gameplan or strategy, but guilty of being too flippant and lackadaisical. They don't show enough urgency/anxiety and Spain and England also have some of the same problems. But I think there was no kelong and their horror at the big defeat was genuine.......................... :wink:

I think Mueller stands a chance. Messi too.
