I'm so happy for this loss as a Brazilian. We've been waiting for this for a long time, now we might, finally, get a real/decent coach.

Great times are coming.

The coach is not the only problem, Brazil as a team just doesn't do shit as well, the whole mentality of playing for the national team is dead, it was actually alive during the last cup but that alone didn't prevented them to take a 7-1.
Brazil nowdays is a 3rd class team, and that won't change without very severe changes in the whole thing, which is hardly happening, Brazil national team is just a symbol to make money and promote personal interests, and I'm too very happy every time they fail while this doesn't change.

Anyway, at least Ganso and Rodrigo Caio didn't even had the chance to get tired, now I'm a bit less worried about the resuming of the Libertadores next month.

I completely agree that many things need to change, but getting a decent coach will make a difference already. It's such a waste to have many great players playing on some of the best teams in the world that seem to do nothing on the national team... I mean, even with our current roost I'm pretty sure it's possible to make a 1st class competitive team. We had  far worse generations than this one and still managed to be competitive.
