Ten reasons Brazil won't win the World Cup?

Bobby McMahon of FoxSports wrote an article as to why Brazil might not win the World Cup. Here's his ten points:

1. Brazil does not win when the expectations back home are too high
Well, past performance is no indication for future outcomes.

2. The goalkeeping is suspect
Dida's been shaky this year but he can still bounce back until July. And if he doesn't, they still have Rogerio Ceni as a great replacement, no

3. The full backs are over-the-hill
Cafu has been injured for the most part of this season, but he's expected to return shortly and he's still got 2 months at his disposal to get back in shape. He's arguably the best right back in the world when on form. Plus, Brazil still has Cicinho as decent backup. As for Roberto Carlos, often relegated to a cameo role at free kicks for Real Madrid, is really a non-argument of him being “over-the-hill”.

4. Roque Junior
True that. Being a Milan fan, I fully concur with this one.

5. Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has too many stars to choose from
Yeah, this'll really sink ‘em down.

6. Emerson isn't the force he was
But wait, I thought that 5. Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has too many stars to choose from. Who cares if Emerson isn't the force he was?

7. Robinho, Kaka, Ronaldo, Adriano, Ronaldinho
Robinho hasn't done much lately, has he? It's quite unlikely for him to start. Ronaldo and Adriano upfront will be backed up from the midfield by Adriano and Ronaldinho.

8. Played in Europe
Superstitional BS based on past results.

9. The Ghost of 1994
No comment from me on this one.

10. Tournament format
I don't get this one either.

So there you are ten reasons why some country other than Brazil will be hoisting the World Cup on July 9. Convinced now? Good, because to be honest, I'm not.
Naturalisch, Mr. McMahon. Who would be?
