It seems that 
Luiz Felipe Scolari is one of the candidates for substituting 
Sven-Goran Eriksson in the command of 
England. As a portuguese football fan, I know 
Scolari for almost 4 years, since he came to my country after winning the 
World Cup 2002 with 
Brazil. I think he's a good coach, maybe not great as I think 
Rijkaard, 
Mourinho or 
Wengèr are; but one thing he knows for sure: how to unite a group, how to make a team strong psychologically. I remember seeing images of 
Brazil praying after the 
World Cup final. In 
Portugal, he implements, for example, "samba", the brazilian dance, and his squad loves him. I say "his squad" because that relates to what I believe is the only (although huge) problem about 
Scolari as a coach: he's stubborn and has a group of not much more than 30 players to choose from since the Qualifying Round of the 
World Cup; players like 
Costinha, 
Maniche, 
Nuno Valente, 
Miguel, 
Quim or 
Hélder Postiga are or have been in bad phases throughout this season, but 
Scolari always called them for the team. For example, 
Costinha and 
Quim aren't nowadays playing for their squads (
Dinamo Moskva and 
Benfica), but they'll surely be on the 
World Cup. 
Scolari doesn't attend to the form of his players and he doesn't care about some he just puts out of the squad: in 
Brazil Romário was excluded; here in 
Portugal having excluded 
Vítor Baía, 
Sérgio Conceição and 
João Pinto is one of 
Scolari's main problem with the media. Personally I think I won't miss him if he really goes to 
England, although I recognize his qualities as a coach; if I were british I would be worried about the possible exclusion of players like 
Beckham (who may have problems with being just one part of a group).
