Cue the jokes, then. Yes, it may only have been Haiti, but Brazil put on a masterclass with their 7-1 mauling of their more than obliging opponents this Wednesday evening in the Copa America.
The scoreline is one that has haunted Brazil for nigh on two years. While a group-stage win over probably the weakest side in this tournament will not exorcise any lingering ghosts, Coach Dunga has at least managed to quieten his most fervent critics. For the time being, at least.
Picking the same team that sleepwalked to a goalless draw against Ecuador at the weekend, this was a side determined to show they were still capable of putting on a show.
