Those aren’t suspenders?

Holy crap, that’s a bad shirt.

Josh: Those aren’t suspenders, just part of the overall badness of his daughter’s design.

Max: I agree. What I believe Brazil will eventually need is a coach that’s a better tactician than Dunga. I like Dunga and think he will do whatever it takes to light a fire under the team, but when you have guys like Kaka and Ronaldinho, playing with Fred and Adriano, and then guys like Edmilson and Gilberto Silva in the DM, you’re going to have issues. Obviously they are all great guys to have, but it’s as though they are all playing a different style of game.

In the end, Dunga’s best bet will likely be to have to find the best players that work best together, meaning you’ll end up with bigger names left behind and with guys like Alex Mineiro and Marcelo (new Real teen left back). Guys that are playing the same speed.

I’m an unabashed Fred fan, though. I saw him score about 20 goals for Cruzeiro and think he’s of Van Nistleroy caliber.

Brazil seemed lumbering and slow. Portugal was very sharp, just like the shirt.

That really is a fancy shirt.

I think it would’ve been OK if not for the suspenders…
