yes-- if you take "crazy" as the operative word there.
while i enjoyed the open nature of the game, which is always entertaining, brazil's attacks were really sloppy and uncoordinated and unrefined for a team that aspires to win the world cup.
ochoa's saves were great, but without taking any merit from his great work, those balls were all saveable and lacked surprise. jo and willian brought nothing but predictability, i think they were useless substitutions. and neymar at times too much the ball hog, which is either selfishness or a lack of coordination with the rest of the team. i'd bet on #2-- after thiago silva's header, nobody came in to finish or help out, brazilians were just standing there.
