*Ahem* Polite cough

What I said (and have always said) is that of course we can win it and that our current form should be no barrier to success.

As I pointed out, statistically, yesterday, Brazil lost six qualifiers and finished 13 points behind Argentina in the qualifiers for 2002. And we know what happened to both those teams.

I am convinced that a grerat part of our lackluster qualifying form is simply because the games are so dull, easy and difficult to get motiovated for. We have qualified in our sleep and there was never a shred of doubt that we would.

I can hardly blame the players for not being at their utterly brilliant fist-pumping best for 10 truly tedious games.

Brazil will win the World Cup. I think we'll be knocked out by them or lose to them in final. But (believe it or not) I could actually be wrong.
