Fans, media losing patience

A goalless draw against a 10-man Bolivia in Rio de Janeiro was the spark that finally ignited the anger of Brazilian football fans at the national team commanded by coach Carlos Dunga.
On Thursday Brazilian sports media used words like "fiasco," "rage" and "shame" in their comments on the humiliating draw against Bolivia the night before in the South American qualifiers towards the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Spectators at a half-empty Engenhao stadium demanded Dunga's exit, shouted "adeus" (goodbye) to him and called him "burro" (donkey).
"At an Engenhao with few spectators, football was lacking too," the daily O Globo said.
The newspaper criticized Brazil's inability to break through the Bolivian defence even after Ignacio Garcia was sent off in the 53rd minute.
"Brazil played last night (Wednesday) possibly its worst game in many years," said commentator Roberto Assaf in the sports daily Lance.
In no uncertain terms, the influential Assaf demanded Dunga's sacking: " Dunga heard the national team booed in the 27th minute, he was unable to tactically change his team and, what is worse, he was too cowardly to make the most of Garcia's sending-off."
"For the fans, he is a donkey," Assaf said. "And for you, Ricardo Teixeira?" he asked the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
Dunga was undoubtedly weakened by his players' latest fumble, but there was no sign that the CBF might be contemplating his exit.
As he arrived at the Engenhao on Wednesday, Teixeira praised the coach's work and stressed that "he is good." However, that was following a 3-0 away win against Chile, and before the embarrassing draw against Bolivia.
At the press conference after the game in Rio, Dunga himself ruled out the possibility of a resignation.
" I am going to keep working. It is normal to meet with difficulties. The national team has never had an easy ride in the qualifiers. In the qualifiers towards the United States 1994 and South Korea and Japan 2002, Brazil qualified in the last round,” Dunga said.
The editions of the World Cup that the coach mentioned ended in the most recent of Brazil's five World Cup titles.
And yet Brazilian fans were never as annoyed with their players then as they are now: despite the 3-
0 win in Santiago on Sunday, there was very little demand for tickets ahead of the game against Bolivia.
Brazilian media reported that only 20,000 tickets were actually sold and that the CBF gave away other tickets to try and mitigate the effect of empty spaces at the Engenhao, which fits 45,000.
The patience of spectators at the stadium was out before half an hour of play. By the end of the game, Brazilians were shouting "Goodbye Dunga!" and "Shameless team!" and they were cheering for the humble rival with cries of "Bolivia, Bolivia!"
Dunga and several of his players played down the importance of such hostility. They acknowledged the criticism as "normal" and "fair" given that the national team did notplay well."
However, sources close to the CBF admitted that the federation was evaluating hosting national team games away from metropolis like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, where the fans have evidently divorced Dunga and his men.
The task of finding a setting may be difficult: booing at the coach and the players also marked Brazil's home game against arch rival Argentina in June which also ended in a goalless draw And that game was played in Belo Horizonte, the third-largest metropolis in Brazil.
