He's still held in high regard in only two places: Newell's Old Boys (their stadium is even named after him) and in Chile, for making the team competitive for once... Only for Claudio Borghi, Jorge Sampaoli and and Juan Antonio Pizzi actually win stuff with them.
Other than that? Yeah, he's overrated to hell and back.

You forgot Leeds United

So Brazil vs Japan. My heart wants to say Japan but numbers make me want to say Brazil. If Japan does win it would be a goal in extra time and if it came down to a shoot out I would give it to Brazil.

EDIT: I should pick Brazil to win the same way I picked SA to win.

Of course.
