Yes, they have lost a game at home, probably games at home.

Last competitive game they lost at home was 41 years ago or something against Peru.

They also lost the 1950 World Cup final in the Maracana, Rio De Janeiro to Uruguay.

But however this goes, this is the best World Cup in a long time, 2006 wasn’t bad for drama, 2002 okay and I don’t remember 1998 that well.

1994 in the USA was a good World Cup.

I don’t even know if we have had that good of World Cup coverage in the USA but only for a few World Cups, maybe only since 2006.

Italy should be ready to defeat Uruguay, Italy has upset me at times at how they have won as in 2006 but I have an Italian friend, Evangelical Christian, saw him tonight, he’s got all of these soccer jerseys, he’s a great guy. Still, sometimes the way some teams win does anger me.

It’s been a long time since Brazil lost a competitive game at home, still, hard to say how this team compares to the really great teams of Brazil.

The world has caught up to Brazil.
