Scolari to take decision on future after World Cup

Teresopolis (Brazil), July 10 (IANS/EFE) Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said that he will not talk about his future until the end of the World Cup.

Scolari refused to talk about his future after the staggering 1-7 loss to Germany in the World Cup semi-final Tuesday, reports Efe.

"After the World Cup, we will submit a report to the Brazilian football federation who will tell the positives and the negatives. It's all in the hands of the CBF," Scolari said.

He described the defeat as "historic" and a "stigma" which, however, will not end the future of the players who participated in the game.

Brazil will play Netherlands in the third place playoff in Brasilia Saturday. Argentina progressed to the summit clash after beating the Dutch side in a penalty shootout Wednesday.
