Very similar cup to the previous one, but in lesser intensity, all the directions.  The country had a good game, with great players, had much exciting between the supporting and, again, the game is eliminated precociously (defeat in the penalties, for France, in the fourth-of-end).

Despite this, the disappointment  of the supporting is lesser, as if already they were accustomed (or, as it is said in Brazil, vaccinated).  Sure that it had sadness for the elimination, but nothing compared for four years ago.

Moreover, although to count on some players of the previous Cup, the team did not enchant the supporting in the same way.  A little of disdain for the rivals, also helped in the failure.

The lesson, was still not learned.
