Brazil didnt actually field a B team..more like 1a. They didnt have their thirty somethings and Ronaldinho wasnt there but most of the players on this team will be playing in WC 2010. Brazil is going through a tactical transformation to Dunga style football. Another issue for Brazil is that the talent gap between it and the rest of the continent is shrinking. Uruguay might well ave the best striker set in the world. Paraguay might have the some of the best defenders. Brazil really hasnt been a dominant force since WC 2002. They were more than fortunate to beat Argentina in the finals of the last CA.
