Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa saved the 0-0 draw with Brazil. Now he is celebrated – as Jesus, brick wall, on the “Time” cover. These are the funniest pictures.Brazil can be the draw against Mexico not spoil the mood. But confidence is not necessarily justified. The favorite so far revealed too many weaknesses.

Memories of a magical summer night in 2006 awakened in some German visitors, as the last minutes of the match between Mexico and Brazil were running. Just as the Seleção this afternoon, the DFB team was struggling at the time when against Poland home World Cup, to David Odonkor ansetzte in the final minutes to his legendary sprint from the right winger, suited to the inside, and Oliver Neuville the ball into the goal poked. It was the moment that changed the World Cup that brought the country to a state of prolonged euphoria. The birth of the summer fairy tale.

There is no doubt that even the Brazilians and their World Cup tournament would be so good for an initiation, and as a winner against Mexico just before the finish in this exciting game in an arena that was similar electrifying as 2006 the Dortmund Westfalen stadium, would also can develop a magic effect.

But Brazil currently has no Neuville, not even a Odonkor. Coach Felipe Scolari had a substitute against the Mexicans Bernard and Jo, two players who were without effect. This had been a “very intense and difficult game against a very good opponent,” said Brazil midfielder Luiz Gustavo workers. You have fought well, “that was worthy of 0:0”. Also, because Mexico had are these outstanding Guillermo Ochoa in goal.

The World Cup favorites had not even really unhappy with this draw, which must appear at first glance to be a disappointment for the Brazilians. But probably the players know for some time what the rest of the world recognizes only gradually: Brazil is no team, it is a normal football team, the strengths but also significant weaknesses. “Today, Mexico was just as good as we are, they ruled the ball had chances, they showed that they can play football,” said coach Felipe Scolari. That was football professionally just as sober as correct finding, which can be very well illustrate the critical points of this team.

Thus compacted the impression that this team is perhaps a little too dependent on the moments Neymar, who could bestow his people this afternoon not with a precision shot next to the post as against Croatia (3-1). “Neymar can not win or lose alone. In our group, he might have a higher potential than the other, but he needs his teammates,” Scolari, who is getting a bit annoyed said of the cult of personality around its star.

The enormous pressures put on the shoulders of this boy is felt by everyone who experiences such a championship game the Brazilians in the stadium. If Neymar comes to the ball in a reasonably promising situation, immediately sways a sense of hope through the arena, even the player himself feels the course. In such a situation to preserve the lightness, is an almost impossible feat. “In Brazil we tend to believe that other players are not as good,” was angry with the coach, whose team seems to be not really grown after the impressive Confederations Cup victory a year ago on.

Brazil 0 Mexico 0 Group A Match:Players are booed

Rather, the opposite seems to be the case. There are a number of clearly visible Weaknesses: Although Scolari felt his team had been “better than in the first group match against Croatia” this afternoon, but the problems that take pace in attack thirds against a compact defending opponents were much against Mexico more visible. Fred was booed when Scolari took him from the field, the other offensive players remained pale. And would one of the many dangerous long shots of Mexicans flew into the top corner, which would not have been undeserved.

All this was not alone a consequence of form on the day, but there are basic things that are missing from this team. You could see, for example, again, how easily rights defenders Dani Alves leaves on sprint when he meets a fast opponent. Or how little comes off the bench. And that in a next round in the second round either Spain, the Netherlands and Chile must be cleared out of the way well, the confidence is not exactly conducive.

Therein lies a danger, not only for the team but for the entire tournament, that’s not quite arrived in the heart of the Brazilian. When people now even lose their love for the Seleção, then this World Cup could be a sad event, but quite so far it is not yet. “If we win now 1-0 against Cameroon, this is enough yes to progress,” said Brazil’s soccer icon Pele, and they will create it somehow.
