The Hype Of That Yellow Shirt

Now I may be premature here and be proven very wrong but I do think that the hype around this current Brazilian side has been proved to be just that,hype,and why do we we seem to think that every 4 years we are going to be royally entertained by the Boys From Brazil.

The most successful side in the history of the tournament yes but the legend was really built in 3 great sides, 1958/62,1970 (The greatest of all time) and 1982 but in between there have been some just OK sides with the odd uber talented player which is what we have this time,take away Neymar ,who is still a way off Messi and Ronaldo, and you have little to inspire .

We tend to forget sides like that of  1974 ,a truly dreadful collection of clogger's as Brazil tried to become more "European" and although reaching the final in 98 they were really a one man (Ronaldo) team.

So forget the hype and judge them as you would any other side
