Brazil in the finals - always a chance we beat them
If there was any chance we beat them, it was going to be that they go down a man or two.

The 2002 Brazilian squad was loaded----FOUR Ballon d'Or winners on that squad (Kaka hadn't won it yet, but was on his way to becoming great)

They had arguably the best RB of all time as their captain, Cafu. Not to mention arguably the best LB ever, Roberto Carlos.

Their defense was stacked; Gilberto Silva was on his way to being one of the worlds best DM's, they played a 3-4-3 (or 3-5-2 depending on how you view Dinho) and had one of the best attacks in World Cup history.

There's no way we'd beat Brazil in that game

By chance, do you mean no greater than 5%?


I mean, I said we would finish runner up already as my main prediction. If I had to give it an exact percentage, likely about 15% or so. Maybe up to 20% since there could be no ties and ultimately it would have to come down to PKs. Brazil would have been the clear favorite, but not automatic

I completely forgot about him. I'm going to go watch some old games of that team tonight.
