Brazil neighbors are catching up.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
No, Brazil. It was not an early April Fool's joke.
You lost to Ecuador in a World Cup qualifying match.
Yes, Ecuador. A team you had defeated by scores of 9-1, 9-2 and 7-1. A team that had lost 21 previous games against you. A team that has never played in a World Cup.
Venezuela is now the only remaining country in South America that has never defeated you.
What in the name of Pele and Zico is going on?
Simple. Your neighbors are getting better.
So much better than Ecuador's Colombian coach, Hernan Dario Gomez, actually had the nerve to predict a victory over your four-time World Champions. ``Wednesday will be a different day for Ecuador,'' he said in the days preceding the match.
