Two coaches with very contrasting fortunes
Brazil's Scolari will pay the price for failing his countrymen, while Netherlands' van Gaal will be feted in a heroes' welcome

LUIS Felipe Scolari's blunt assessment after Brazil's collapse to the Netherlands was that his team didn't deserve to lose by three goals.
He's wrong. They should have been hammered by a much wider margin in yesterday's match to determine the World Cup's third-best team.
That's not so much a reflection of how toothless Brazil's performance was, but also a testament to just how dominant the Dutch were from start to finish.
