Brazil.
I'm just watching a BBC programme about Braziland Argentina and the involvement of politics in the 70 and 78 world cups.
It's got me thinking about Brazil. By the time the next world cup comes around they wont have won a world cup for 20 years and dont look likely to soon.
Why dont Brazil produce the type of squads they were so used to? Is it because of their economy becoming so large, is it due to the consumer world we live in and the poverty stricken streets that used to produce footballers now using football as an outlet less and less?
Aside from Neymar who's the next superstar? There just doesn't seem to be a next gen batch of players from them. I dont see a south American team winning the world cup anytime soon really.
The defining moments in our lives are never planned.
