England win the latest edition with strikes from Rooney and Lampard. Fred replied for Brazil and they also have a penalty saved. Brazil soccer is on the wane at the moment and is derive of real superstars in the team. But being Brazil, it will not be surprising if a youngster suddenly pops up and take the world by storm.

Brazil was always a great football country, with many talented players. But nowadays the talent is not enough, the tactics and the physical power is more important than the born skills. The training methods have evolved so much that even the players with less talent can learn to be a great player, especially if they can think quickly. And I consider that without tactical understanding and playing accordingly, nowadays is very hard to win trophies, and I think that the World Cup 2014 will be won by a European team, which would make many Brazilians sad. But never rule them out, they can pick themselves up, and because they are born talented, they can easily recover the lacks they currently have.

I think it is time for Spanish domination to be over. I hope for the days when Germany will dominate football again, and Bayern the club football and I think those days are not so far.

It was a poor Brazil performance. They did not really train together before the match and there's a feeling that the Brazilians literally took the friendly as a real friendly. Perhaps because of their lackluster play, England seemed to have played one of their best matches under Roy Hodgson, and they deserved the win.
England, with the emerging of the young players such as Wilshere, Walcott and Cleverley, will be a force to reckon with in the 2014 World Cup - IF they could qualify!

Understand that now is the off season in Brazil and that could maybe the poor condition of the South American based players like Neymar and Ronaldinho.
As for England, it looks like they have player in Wilshere. Many papers were saying that the Gunners is more a Brazilian than the Brazilian. Apparently Walcott had a good game. But they are still a far way to be term as a favourite to win it.

Brazil have a lot of improvement to make.Being the hosts of the next world cup, the world expects them to be in top form. Is the world ready for a Brazil win in world cup 2014?
