You’re Dreaming
Good friend Ahmed Bilal sent me a link on how to beat Brazil and win the World Cup.
In an excerpt:
The squad is a bit biased towards the Premiership (and towards England). Having said that, these players are either class in themselves (Henry, Casillas, Rooney), or they have performed well in the World Cup so far (Lahm, van Persie, Lennon, Robben).
I would prefer Casillas in goal to Cech mainly because of his experience (of playing in Europe and of playing behind a weak defense). Cech is still an option because of his height, and you would be stupid to put him out of the reckoning based on his form in the last two years. Buffon misses out - too old.
Defense - You don’t want a situation where Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or Adriano skips through the centre backs to score. You need strong and fast defenders, and that’s why form players like Carvalho and Marquez miss out. I’ve also chosen Lahm over Puyol, because we need creativity down the flanks and Lahm is great going forward. The right-back position will probably be taken by either Ferdinand or Nesta, considering that these two are far better going forward than Terry / Cannavaro / Gallas.
His tactics and plan looks valid but man, a team playing against Brazil has got to do a lot of things and should play almost perfect and beautiful football to even force a draw. The best you can hope is for Brazil to play ugly, I mean way too ugly football to get beaten up.
Also, I could not help but laugh as I was reading his post how come England got in the picture?
Sorry my friend about that, though I still respect your opinion. And good luck to England!

lol
That’s what I get for talking to Brazilian fans. I would say the arrogance :) is justified, but Brazil is beatable. The other team just has to play better than them :)
And England? They’re going to win the tournament, my friend :)
