Get ready for the Brazilian Viennese Waltz

This will be the first Brazilian team in my living years where the defenders are the best players.
Lucio, Julio Cesare, Maicon, Danny Alves, Thiago Silva are all marquee names in football today. All defenders. Even Kaka, probably Brazil’s current most famous player, is an attacking midfielder.
Which means, what? For the first time we will see Brazil not conceding goals instead of merely outscoring opponents.
If you’re looking for the Samba at this World Cup you might be disappointed. You might get a stiff Viennese Waltz instead. Not as sexy, but may still be effective in the end.
