brazil were the most overrated team last world cup and you know it
both the strikers were nowhere near good form ,yet people made them favorites in front of stronger squads like argentina,france,italy who had players in top form
i dont think world cups won in the past make you an automatic favorite
otherwise, would you say real should win the champs league every year,even with a weak squad?
and david beckham played pretty well for real, even in his first season(not nearly as bad as shevas first season).and the reason english players dont usually go overseas is not necessarily difficulty in adapting. its natural for a player to want to keep playing in his country(doesnt apply to dutch,portugese,brazilian and argentines and the french have arsenal as a home away from home)

They had a poor performance in 2006, no doubt about it.  But you are cherry picking.  They won in 2002, 1994 and were runners-up in 1998, and won the last couple Copa Americas.  It's ridiculous to call them overrated.  I didn't say anything about "favorites," only that they are not overrated.  I am not a Brazil supporter, but they are not overrated.

Beckham had no business being in Real's starting 11.  There, I said it.  But as I also said, Sheva didn't do well for Chelsea because he was being played out of position and sparingly.  You don't get to be among the leading scorers in Serie A for like 10 years on a consistent basis without being a pretty damn good player, and if you ever watched Milan during that era I doubt you'd call him overrated.

English players don't often play in Europe because they can't adapt to the style very well, plus they are expensive and often vastly overrated.
