I used to hate Luiz when he first joined Chelsea. He was my goto example whenever I talked about the supposed decline in defending but he has to be one of the most improved players I can think of. From a total joke to truly world class. But yeah, overall Brazil still seem stuck in that 'young squad' hole. There's still no real cohesion there. They've cruised through the tournament so far against some pretty poor opposition. We'll have to wait till they play maybe Italy (currently struggling against Japan), or Spain before we can really gauge where they're at.
