ShiftyPowers;3704686 said:A lot of people have made the point that this is exactly what Brazilian Football needed to spur the nation onto real change in its system. The nation has rested on its laurels while many have caught and surpassed them in the last 8 or so years. They don't produce the most creative players, or the best players, or even the highest number of professionals at a certain level anymore. Their youth development and coaching is extremely poor.
Unfortunately, I don't think this lesson will be learned in Brazil. I think it will be much easier for the nation and the FA to blame bad luck and believe that with Neymar (and Thiago Silva) they would have won the tournament. This kind of delusion is everywhere in the media, but I have not seen anything coming out of Brazil that suggests they need to fundamentally change the football system in their country. They see it as a one game shame (because of no Neymar) rather than the complete systematic failure which it was.
RobbieD_PL;3704691 said:Also, with the potential of having 2 teams on either 3 (GER & ARG) or 4 (ITA & GER) World Cups, Brazilian invincibility of having won 5 world titles will fade too. I don't think that the problem of a systematic failure within Brazilian coaching/player development is limited to football either; Sporting-wise, what else is Brazil good at other than football?
