As promised, here's why you're an idiot KJ:

You call Portugal a contender because they have one world class player who has scored 0 goals in Portugal's whole qualifying campaign. Then you write Brazil off due to lack of individual talent despite them having a player of Kaka's quality, who may not be quite as good as Ronaldo but performs MILES better than him for his international team (Brazil works around Kaka).

Ronaldo has had a good season for his club, yes. He also had a very good season for his club in 08/09, but has been shit for Portugal throughout qualifying (which spanned over both seasons).
Kaka has had 2 fairly muted seasons for his clubs but has still been outstanding for Brazil (winning the golden ball in last year's confederations cup).

A player having had a good season with their club doesn't mean that they'll be good for their national team. It's a team game and whilst individual talent does help, a good player who does not click with his team/their style of play isn't going to do much - remember Ronaldinho in 06?

Please get this into your tiny little head and stop posting.


Edit: this isn't even taking into account the rest of the "individual talent" in both teams, which Brazil easily trump Portugal in.
