But Brazil sucks nowdays...

It does. But he didn't say Brazil is great as a team nowadays... he said it still produces a lot of great players, and that's true. While there are no Ronaldos or Romarios, we still factory a good amount of good players compared to most countries. Had we have a decent confederation and a coach in the past years, we would surely still be competitive in the worldwide scenario.

This is what I meant. Brazil still produces a hell lot of talent and even the World cup failure team made it to semifinals and finished 4th. And not so long ago Brazil won 2 confederation cups (one against Spain in the final) and are still played like you play a big team.

People get drunk with results sometimes, current Chile is what you have with a mix of good talent, decent management (we've had a bad coach and a lot of corruption in our federation but good decisions were made that saved us. This compared to the shit most federations have in south america) and a little bit of luck. But still, we are not more than Colombia and Uruguay, and very far from Brazil and Argentina, who IMO are top in the world and results would show it if they had decent management to channel so much talent.
