Yeh dida has done an excellent job as goalie, he is an unsung hero
To you see how funny the brazilians are, Dida has a wonderful image as goalkeeper and huge contract with Millan to do it, but brazilians thought before the Cup about Dida was "I don't know if Dida is prepared top this Cup.". Brazilian fans are evil, if he play like he is doing, he's a hero. If he do a little a mistake, wow, he's a loser. For me, 'til now, Dida has the best peformance in this Cup than ANY other brazilian player, is the only one who is really playing and showing why he is so expensive as Goalkeeper on Millan.

It should be yes, but I haven't seen much of it except for the game against Japan.
BTW, about Australia, I really like to see them play. They didn't really use the long ball tactics. They played with power, passion and a lot of joy. I'm still waiting to see that back in Brazil this tournament. Just look at Ronaldinho so far, where's the star of Barcelona? I haven't seen him like that so far, and that's a pity. Maybe they're doing this on purpose and saving up their powers for the last matches.
I didnt say Australia didnt play with passion and I didnt say he play badly, I just said teams like them are good enough in plays middle-field and defense, but still missing experience in the offensive players. They didnt score a goal with well finished play in this Cup, some were beautiful goals, but not well finished, see? You dont see Australia going in the goal area in attack doing short passes to reach the goal, Brazil isnt play well, but see the first goal against Ghana, it was a trained play, Ghana defense play in line, Brazil tranied over over his attack like that and worked in the first 5 minutes of the game. Still missing to the new teams like Australia a player who make a wrong pass or wrong play into a goal, thats the difference. Against Italy, if the aussie attack did their job probably they wouldn't crying about the robbish. What Im gonna say about Brazil now will explain better what I mean.
About Ronaldinho and Brazilian team, Braziil isn't work how they should, I agree. I'm not talking about the "Joga Bonito", we love if they play "Joga Bonito", but it comes natturally with the game it's not the main objective of the game, I'm talking about Brazil make the things works. Brazil this year is the only team who isn't using the 4-4-2, they are using 4-2-4, its tottally different, with this config they should be with the ball the most of time or attacking or in defense and the middle-field, instead start the play there, acts like a connection to the play for a goal start with the offensive, Ronaldingo and Kaka, and go throught Ronaldo and Adriano to score it. Then comes the problem, defense is playing as they should and the goalkeeper too, but the midle field
We just he two of them and Emerson is really doing shit, that can't happen, every time he do it we have to go to defense, they are defending more than they should and with that comes wrong passes and low ball's possession. Our middle-field is working 50%, or just working one side, in the left, thats one problem.
Second problem, I never like Parreira, he is a good coach, but Scolari is 100x better. Parreira know what's better to a team play like his style, when Scolari knows what style is better to the team. If Parreira could choose his Brazil, probably was a different team, his style is a better work in the middle-field and more work with short passes to reach the offensive area, or strong and fast counter-attacks. Brazil '94 is the truly image what Parreira likes and his style. But to this Brazil that kind of game don't work, Ronaldinho will play everytime 100x better on Barcelona, his position in Brazil is quite another than in Barcelona, probably if Parreira didn't have to deal with CBF contracts of corruption Brazil would have the right player for the right positions. Ronaldo is better, but quite distant to a player in his position and Adriano, for god love, he is playing like a pig. And short passes isnt the better for the team, this Brazil is different the other years, the strong point is lot of techinic and some long and high passes (strong point of Ronaldinho). Against Japan, Brazil worked because, sorry about what I will say, Parreira let his team have a fun game to their fans, Ronaldinho doing what he wants to do, players who all the world like Juninho Pernambucano and Robinho playing as official. And dont know if you watch the full game against Japan, Robinho was changed his position four times in the game, what team make it in a serious match? Im not saying isnt the players fault, Im just saying the fault is 50% (Parreira) and 50% Ronaldo, Adriano, Emerson, R. Carlos (who didnt play a little in this cup) and less Ronaldinho (who can be in the wrong position but should stay his mind in trying to help Brazil with what he got).
What Brazil has and is what is helping him to go further is a good defense and more important, a experienced attack who when they could score it, and nothing is worst to the another team than take a goal. But my Brazil is far to a well structured team and miles away from his slogan "Joga Bonito" (play beautifully). What a Brazil wants is a harder oponnent, maybe France if play well will give it to them and might we see a Brazil who a lot of people is waiting to watch.
