Perhaps, but I did read an interesting article a few days back that Brazil doesn't play as it used to in the past, stringing along beautiful passes to break through the defense. Spain actually tends to plays that way now and while it is beautiful, it is also susceptible to being shut down as the US showed us. Brazil tends to play a more "European" tactical game, which has been described as boring... and may have better luck.
