There are lotsa poor teams, not just Brazil, and one cannot omit the fact it will be a 'long season' for lotsa top league players who are effectively extending their 2017-18 footie season and participating in this gruelling World Cup tourney as well. I'm expecting many poor matches and that is materialising so far. Footie players are not robots, as we all know, and the expectancy of many people to see consistent top class matches/performances is unrealistic as we discovered in the last Euro championship in France.
