Even if that's not "Brazil" as we know it, or wish to know it, France outclassed them and only the Brazil we expect might have put a challenge to that. Zidane outclassed them. Germany wasn't flash, Ukraine was never a challenge, Italy was very fortunate against Australia and to some extent against USA. You can say the same thing for both teams really. I'm not trying to downplay Italy's team, I just don't think it's a X>Y argument here. I can see both teams winning or losing this, but what's fresh in the memory is Italy V Germany and France V Portugal.
