[Teknos ,what is your point of posting the brazilian national team ?]
I know your question was made with the intention of irritating me, but that's ok. You're the ignorant one, since you don't pay attention to what I really mean with my posts.
Anyway to answer your question: I posted the Brasilian national team so you could read the little words in the parentheses (e.g. [Roma], [Parma], [Milan], [Venezia]), yeah you know, Italian club team names. I wanted you to see how Italy doesn't consider Brasilian players as untalented or undeveloped, or "low-ranking," as you try to depict them. Don't make me give you a reading lesson again please.
You can deny that, and then say "I think Brasil is a good team, bla bla bla," but I've seen enough posts about Italian players being "twice the talent of Ronaldinho," and other crap to know better. I'm extremely annoyed already. If Italy's strikers were better (and I'm saying this carefully, since I know you'll cry and start posting against ME), Totti would score on a more frequent basis. I believe that both teams have great talent, but in different areas. I believe that Brasil is a good all-around team, and has an unusual defensive style, since the defenders become wingers and attack too, and they have a good, flowing midfield, with great strikers will good ball control up top. I believe Italy is a great defensive team, and they have the solid, strong defense that helps them win their games. I really haven't seen much action with their midfield, but I have seen the strikers in action, and I think they're very random, but definitely can score when given the opportunity. I've only seen one goal by Totti though, and that was off of a header. Del Piero, I won't even say a word.
Also, I'd like to clarify that I'm not defending Juninhio, because I don't like the way he instigates arguments as well, but I defend Brasil out of my own free will. There are two teams that I love to watch when they play, and will always support, and those are Mexico and Brasil. I support my national team because I am proud of the talent that they have shown during my time, and I support Brasil for their amazing ballwork and control, and loose, flowing style of play.
That is why I am offended when you and Italia#1 post crap about how they aren't good anymore, or don't deserve to be considered good, because I disagree. I've seen enough talent. I also do not like when Paolo_Rossi posts things such as "Brasil's World Cups don't matter, that it doesn't represent talent, etc." I'm also tired of hearing about how Italy was the better team in the 94 final, and that they should have won, and bla bla bla. I'm also tired of hearing that Brasil deserved to lose in France 98, and how Italy deserved to win in Euro 2000. If it were the case, I think CROATIA should have won 98, since it was their first time and they got far, only to lose dramatically in the semis. When a team goes that far, no one deserves to lose or win. It is the winning team's will and strength that pushes themselves to victory, no matter if it is on the field or in penalties. In penalties a team's integrity and mental strength is tested. There players have to think about their country, instead of always trying to score a pretty goal. That is why players like Baggio (shut the f*ck up, I'm telling you now before you say crap later), Raul, De Boer, etc. have missed in the past, because they either are not mentally strong enough to handle pressure, or make the mistake of overestimating their talent. Anyway, this post has become quite long. I think I've made my point.
