So, your telling me that Brazil's history of producing great players and the system they play has nothing to do with their success? If you believe that then there's no hope for you.
Maybe you don't understand the big picture, Italy produces world class players year in and year out and they have a proven system that WINS WC matches and titles.
Right they aren't made of Serie C players..it was a hypothetical..do you know what that is? You keep stating the system they play in is what makes them so great..so if it was Serie C scrubs playing in the same system, they would do just fine, right?
Brazil's history of great players has a lot to do wtih the success of that particular year..but it doesn't effect this year! The system has some to do with their success, but more than 80% of it deals with their great players...20% with their system. 0% on past performance.
You are in denial that MAYBE, just maybe, Italy's team is not as great as their past teams. It's sad.
