Two different issues in my mind. One comes from winning possession.....and in my initial post I stated I felt this was a glaring weakness, particularly in the air.

The second has to do with decisons made with the ball when you have possession, particularly in the second half when Brasil had so much pressure on us. My criticism of the lack of countering and use of space behind the Brasil backs has more to do with the latter. Looked to me like we tried to build....when maybe we should have been more direct.
