Amy Lawrence of Guardian Unlimited has the best insight into what ails Brazil:
“Some might call it a crisis. Brazil, clear favourites to retain the World Cup in Germany this summer, have several key players out of form and under fire from the media. They have problems in goal, central defence, midfield and attack – and their manager is even worried about the world’s best footballer, Ronaldinho, being over-played. Can they put everything right in the next two months?”
It really is the best analysis on the state of the Brazilian team I’ve seen to date, including the scoop on Adriano, Kaka, Ronaldo, Cafu, Lucio, Roque Junior, et al.
I urge you to read every word.
