As we predicted a few days ago in our World Cup Round up for July 2, Carlos Dunga has been relieved of his duties as coach of Brazil following his team’s 2-1 loss to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.
Ok,…so you didn’t have to be The Amazing Kreskin or even Paul the Octopus to see that one coming.
Such was the notoriety Dunga’s squad had achieved through their tactical pragmatism, an attribute never associated with the great Brazil teams of the past, and clearly not one much appreciated by Brazil fans today, the only way Dunga might have kept his job would have been for Brazil to win the World Cup for a sixth time.
El once ideal de Brasil
Es cierto que jugadores con la experiencia y la calidad de Ronaldinho, Adriano o Ronaldo podrían haber ofrecido mucho al plantel carioca. Pero al mismo tiempo Dunga ha dado oportunidad a jugadores como Michel Bastos o Ramires de mostrar su valía al mundo. El desempeño de Elano no ha sido del todo satisfactorio, mientras que Daniel Alves ha asumido un rol nuevo contra Chile, demostrando su versatilidad en el campo de juego. El futuro de Felipe Melo es incierto, pero nada hará que deje de ser una parte integral de la estrategia de Dunga.
Brazil's Strongest Eleven
It is true that players with the experience and quality of Ronaldinho, Adriano or Ronaldo could have much to offer to the Carioca squad. But at the same time Dunga has given players like Michael Bastos or Ramires to show their worth to the world. Elano's performance has been rather disappointing, while Daniel Alves have shown against Chile he can adapt to different positions. Felipe Melo's future is yet unknown, but there's no doubt he's an integral part of Dunga's scheme

Ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament, LiveSoccerTV.com takes the immense pleasure of figuring out and analyzing the coaches that are expected to make an impact through their wisdom in South Africa. Among the top 10 list which has been cut into two are Diego Maradona and Fabio Capello.
1) Carlos Alberto Parreira - South Africa
Why not start off our exploration with the man that will lead the host nation throughout the world’s most prestigious sports event, the World Cup? His name is Carlos Alberto Parreira, the famous Brazilian native manager who has his name in football’s history as one of the only coaches to have led four different nations to the World Cup. But more importantly, Carlos Alberto Parreira is remembered for guiding Brazil to victory at the 1994 World Cup and for his heroic achievements as a Fluminense boss back in the 1980s and 1990s. So Parreira will be equaling Bora Milutinovic’s record by guiding a fifth team in the name of South Africa. Most analysts doubt the potential of Bafana Bafana but Carlos Alberto Parreira’s experience could just be what it takes for the hosts to enjoy a positive tournament.

A ticket for Brazil, reconstruction for Venezuela
Having already qualified for South Africa 2010, Brazil will be playing to win regardless of their success thusfar. They come from a 2-1 loss in Bolivia, where the altitude proved to be a difficult task for them.
Venezuela unfortunately met their end this weekend when they lost to Paraguay at home 1-2. Of their past 5 games, this was their only loss and their eyes were set on South Africa.
