50. Because they were better then. The best.

The rest of the world caught up. Better tactics. Better strategy. Better nutrition. Brazil only recently incorporated top shelf real time medical monitoring technology. Look, no team lies down like dogs unless there is a character defect embedded in the whole squad. Brazil left home a dozen defenders d mids and some attackers more disciplined who would walk through fire and never give up. But they are not the biggest stars. Like I said. Good teams need stars but a bunch of stars does not make a team. See Mexico before Herrera. Brazil is replete with skilled personnel. I hope they now understand a team needs personnel with the proper mentality as well. How in the heck does the USA keep getting into the knockout round? It sure ain't skill.
