Bit of both. Whenever a team wins well it is easy to dismiss it as the other team being awful, but you still have to do the job.
Even my wife commented on the fact, that when Brazil attacked in the first half, most of the Koreans were up the other end !
With all their celebrations and little happy jigs...we can only hope they become over confident.
Every team, including a team full of wizards has a bad day at the office some time.
They do play gorgeous football, but it comes with an arrogance or entitlement that I would love to see shot and brought down to ground level.
Some might think they deserve their "uber alles" mentality.... I for one would love to see someone making Neymar and co shed some public tears, something they so love inflicting on others... Viva Argentina!

2-0 down after what...10 mins... and that dodgy penalty.... They had not much choice but to go for it.
Yes very risky plan...but might as well go with a big bang as possible for their fans... and all kudos to them...loved their courage and gung ho battling style.
What Brazil are missing is a 19 yr old league one playing Dele Ali.
if they sign him they will be complete
I admired that game plan from Korea. From that defensive showing they weren't keeping a clean sheet either way, even when outnumbered they weren't doing the most basic stuff. Might as well turn it into a basketball match.
On another day it might've worked as well. If Allison doesn't pull off that save Buffon would've creamed over at 2-0, suddenly doubts might've sowed into Brazil & it's a more competitive game.
If Brazil wanted they could have probably scored 8 or 9. They just took the pissss in the second half
Any team in the Prem and half the teams in the Championship would have beaten S Korea last night
Koreans were careless in formation especially when they're without the ball, Paulo Bento has surprised me with such risky tactics which are suicidal against any good team. After going down to an early goal, they should have defend in numbers as they attack in numbers. Brazil are not as good as they're bigging themselves

Sandy has brought out one of his sock puppets to help but is getting slaughtered on his own thread. But to be fair deli did make that good pass that time.
I see Bento the coach of S Korea has resigned today .I should bloody well think so after his absurd tactics last night .
Brazil were always brilliant in attack but had a soft defense and were known for having dodgy keepers.
They're still brilliant in attack but have a much more solid defense these days and that's all shored up with the best keeper in the world at the back.
It'll take a miracle to stop them winning it again.
