It's good news. We could never really consider ourselves World Champions without beating Brazil on the way.

I think in hindsight Austria would have been the easiest playoff opponent.

Brazil are supposed to be dire at the moment. Can't remember the exact quote by their manager but he was saying something about hacking/fouling players a legitimate defensive strategy. Apparently Brazil have abandoned the samba footie complete for negative tactics!
