"Brazil had no Plan B. It is unfortunate that they discovered that so late - against Germany," said writer Fernando Duarte. It was foolish of an experienced coach like Scolari to have not taken into account the possibility of missing Neymar at any point of the tournament. With Fred misfiring and Hulk out of his depth, to expect that one player - always the centre of attention of rival defenders - would be available at all times, was indeed poor thinking.
