After another disappointing performance against a high-profile opponent, Brazil fans are growing frustrated with their national team.
Fans jeered the team following a lackluster 0-0 draw with the Netherlands in a friendly in the central city of Goiania on Saturday. The result keeps coach Mano Menezes winless against top teams, including France and South American rival Argentina.
Menezes set out to prepare the team for the upcoming Copa America, but fans were expecting to see Brazil avenge its elimination by the Dutch in the 2010 World Cup.
The Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, Brazil's largest, said the match put fans to sleep, while the Diario de S. Paulo said Brazil succeeded only in attracting boos in Goiania.
