It's hard to beat the Brazilians. It's possible, but it's too ingrained in them, as well as having such a talent pool to draw from. There are some interesting observations that have been made of them over the years;
There's enough talent on the team to field TWO world cup contending teams.
They don't need to have a good goal keeper (ahem, Taffarel), they'll just outscore their opponents.
The Brazilians have the most talent of any team, but that doesn't mean they ARE the most talented team.
