dumbfuck tite keeping jesus in does count. not using douglas costa until late counts. everything counts. and so “on paper” brazil was great and it had a good record beating everyone else in south america but pigheadedly insisting on what doesn’t work... also counts.
and props again to martinez because he changed and won. even with the help of luck and a stupid counterpart on the other side. everything everything everything.
oh and of course, neymar simulation counted. remember what i said about the “devaluing the game” etc etc and the market incorporating all information? well, shit, his bullshit came back to biting him HARD. that serbian ref was predisposed against him and thus brazil paid dearly for his shitshow.
what makes a team better is... everything.

Think you're a bit harsh on Brazil. They could've won that, and on balance of play over the 90 they maybe should've. On another day those go in. The margin was really too fine to attack Brazil while praising Belgium for a match they could've just as easily lost.
