So, they've been eliminated from the COpa America and are lying 4th in their World Cup Qualifying Group with only 6 wins out of 13. To top it all they lost 2-0 to Honduras on Monday. Is this going to be the first World Cup ever that Brazil don't take part in and why do you think things have gone so wrong?

It is looking like we may have to play Brazil for that last World Cup spot. I have a friend in Sao Paulo who was not all that happy when I talked to him today. There are national outcries aver their extremely poor showing. I think they have forgotten how to win - without confidence, the flair has gone missing.

I think with Romario and Ronaldo plagued with injuries and age, Brazil is losing it pretty quickly... Rivaldo ain't no kid star... so is Roberto CArlos... these are people I know of when Ajax Amsterdam was still a powerhouse and fighting off with Juventus in the UEFA Champions league, and Dortmund with this "C" logo in their jersey's which I love, and Schemiehcel or whatever is still with Manchester Untied, not to mention Edwin Van der Sar with Ajax then... so they're OLD.

Who cares about Brazil?
The real questions lie within the Scottish quest for glory! Will this be their year?

As a keen beleiver in Scotlands inability to win, i'd have to say: NO!

Well, the Socceroos have already beaten them once in the past 12 months and with Kewell getting back to his best, Viduka looking in superb form and Bosnich being named as Chelseas first choice keeper things are looking up.

Never knock a sleeping giant, however - we'll see how they go when push comes to shove. That's what's scary.

They've got a lot of good players, but they're scattered to the four corners of the globe.
