Brazil had obviously fixed the game. They wanted to "share the wealth," while they in turn received a nice gift. They could have beat France if they wanted to.

Here in Brazil we felt disapointed cause we used to see Brazil winning, and in  this World Cup Brazilian players wasn't entusiastic as they used to be. For this reason, immediatly after World Cup the team was reorganized and change the coach. \nIf you want more information about Brazilian Soccer, please try\nhttp://www.futebolthebrazilianwayoflife.com/

They were 3-d in the world, me as a proud Croatian would know this, I still remember Thuram scoring twice in semi final game ( guy who never scored for national team till then ) and France stopping us from going all the way, that was a waste, cause we had the best generation ever ( but new world cup is coming soon and you never know :) )

As much as everyone would like Brazil to win they aren't gonna. Simply because of the fact that they have been struggling lately, in the qualifying round they lost 3 of their 4 matches. They might have the world's most talented team but if they dont pull it together you can see France or Argentina stealing the Fifa world cup this year.

in their final World Cup qualifier match between FRANCE & BULGARIA in Paris back in 1993, the match was heading towards a 1-1 draw. then in injury time, Emil Kostadinov scored the last minute winner for BULGARIA & send them instead to the 1994 finals.\n\nBULGARIA went on to finish 4th in the 1994 finals losing 4-0 to SWEDEN in the 3rd & 4th place match.

Australia played a better defensive game (and sometimes even offensively) than was ever expected of Australia. Not just because of Austrailia's inexperience in World Cups but for its rankings worlwide.\n\nBrazil did play a bad game in the scheme of things, not just from its experience, but the caliber of players on the field on the Brazilian team merited a better game than they played. \n\nI would agree that you should be proud of your country, but know, that if Brazil was playing as good as they can, then Australia's strenghts would not have been as notable.

Mourn, oh no there was nothing to mourn even though Brazil did outscore my undeniably gutsy Australian Socceroo's. Because for us they have exceeded all expectation already so we have not stopped celebrating since they first took the field. The celebrations will continue no matter what happens. That is the pride these boys have instilled in us. The celebration was in the fact that no one here was disappointed in the performance or effort given by the team. To not win on points and still have your countries total support and respect is a feat in itself. Many in Australia attended live outdoor coverage at various venues and continued to party hard after the game was over, actually a lot of them would still not be home. Definitely no reason for us to mourn.

Many teams have beat Brazil.  I am referring to teams like Argentina, Germany, Italy or France.  Last time Brazil faced Argentina in a world cup they lost, last time the faced France they lost.  Since then fifa has done everything in their power to avoid those two teams to face each other in the world cup.  That's a fact.  Second, Brazil hasn't faced any of the world powerhouses.  You wanna talk about how many cups Brazil have.  How did Brazil win in 94? It wasn't that "superior" level of play you are talking about.  Getting to the final games by a benevolent schedule, not facing powerhouses, extra days of rest, mediocre rival teams (Japan, Australia, croatia, etc) is not an accomplishment.

In World Cup 1998, France scored 3:0 & that was the 1st time that Brazil failed to become the champion of World Cup 1998

France clearly played the better game in 1998.  One word, Zidane.  If anything, Brazil had the easiest group.  They were lucky to beat Holland in the semifinal.  They shouldn't have even been in the final game.\n\nI do not think Germany has enough good players to get to the Final.  They will lose to Holland in the semis and Holland will beat Brazil in the final.  Germany will beat Spain (easiest path in the whole cup until they play Brazil in the other semi) in the third place game.

Pele's 1970 team won the world cup without losing a single game and they scored tons of goals on their way, including a 4-1 thrashing of Italy in final. That team is widely considered as best ever. This brazilian team has to win the wc first to be even considered for comparison
