Here in Brazil, TV Globo, the biggest open TV network here in Brazil, reprised the 2005 Confederations Cup final, an amazing 4-1 victory of Brazil over Argentina (in the next sunday, the 1994 World Cup final will be reprised). It was a great game, specially the second half, which was a marvel to watch, pure beautiful football from Brazil. The only negative stand-out from the match when it comes to the match was Ronaldinho, he was really poor. Adriano, Kaká and Robinho were all very good. Adriano was such a feral beast, just look at his first goal, he scores seemingly with anger, as if he was Hulk (the character, not the player). Kaká's objectivity is amazing too. And Robinho, despite irregular career for european clubs, was constantly amazing for Brazil in his career, a delight to watch, so skilled. He was one of those players who play better for the NT than the clubs. Lúcio was also amazing, his technical quality and amazing runs, his pure class is still impressive for a defender, really elegant in all aspects, marvelous to watch. Brazil's full-backs, Gilberto and Cicinho, specially Cicinho, were amazing. They should have been Brazil's full-backs in 2006 instead of the decadent Cafu and Roberto Carlos. A fat and old Ronaldo in the place of Robinho was also a mistake in 2006.
Overall, there is a big feeling of sadness knowing how fantastic this generation was and how they declined too early. It was a generation that should have played until the 2014 World Cup, but instead we were really unlucky. Ronaldinho lost interest and would never be the same after 2006. Adriano's father died and from then on Adriano became depressed and lost interest in football, throwing his amazing talent to have a great career in the trash. Kaká would never be the same after going to Real Madrid and struggle with injuries. Cicinho lost himself with his alcohol struggles. The way that such a fantastic generation of players blew themselves up so quickly is a true tragedy for world football.
