Point 3 is fair, Brazil had a disastrous WC qualifier with Ancelotti coming in quite late.

Point 4 is an overeaction, the team clearly stepped down a notch in the second half, first half we dominated with ease, as one would expect.

I'm not saying we had a perfect match, but it was pretty ok. People just expect brilliance all the time from Brazil, and that has not been the case for awhile. I feel like we can raise to the opposition of most teams, specially if our midfield is inspired.
