Ronaldinho Dejected
Brazil has been humbled.
It is not simply the fact that Argentina eliminated Brazil from the Olympics. Nor is it the fact that Brazil, once again, failed in its quest for Olympic gold. In fact, the 3-0 beating is not the most humbling part.
Rather, it was the manner in which Brazil lost to Argentina. Defending most of the game, allowing the Argentines to maintain most of the possession, and instead hoping for a counter attack. That is not Brazil. No matter the opponent, particularly its hated rival, Argentina.
Not only is Dunga’s Brazil not coming close to the jogo bonito mantra of every verde amarela selecao, it is now losing big, and to the Argentines no less. Add that Brazil’s lackluster performance in the South American World Cup qualifiers (barely 2 wins in 6 games for a current 5th place), and Futbol Insider will be surprised to see Dunga coaching this squad in South Africa.
