Defensively, Brazil is impressive. The pairing of Thiago Silva and David Luiz is now undefeated in 17 games that Scolari has started them together. Successive generations of thrilling forward players from Brazil have tended to overshadow some of its great defenders.

巴西的防守令人印象深刻。斯科拉里排出迭戈·席爾瓦和大衛(wèi)·路易斯搭檔首發(fā)的17場(chǎng)比賽中，巴西隊(duì)保持不敗。巴西偉大的前鋒層出不窮，容易讓人忽略他們出色的防線。
