Nunez is on fire
First loss to Uruguay friendly or competitive since July, 2001
First World Cup Qualifying loss since September, 2015
We had last lost to a Chilean side in Chile that didn’t even qualify lol
WHAT YEAR IS IT?!?!!
We need to rebuild this team from the ground up, no more Marquinhos/Casemiro/Neymar and players from the 2018/2022 cycle, none of them has shown real leadership under the NT and are just embarrassing them selfs and the NT, if we can’t get anything out of our most experienced players then it’s time to start investing in the next generation. Robert Renan, Murillo, Danilo, João Gomes, Vitor Roque, Endrick, Marcos Leonardo, etc all must be in the squad for 2026.
Yeah, obviously they are talented players, but they have to be one of the worst generations in terms of tournament success in Brazilian history.
A lot of times teams will stick with an established, but aging team one cycle too many, but usually that’s when they’ve been exceptionally successful, like Spain in 2014.
Brazil should definitely be looking to develop a new young core so that they’re ready to go for Copa next year, which will prepare them for 2026.
I’ve never seen Brazil play so mediocre, and I’m old… Not the Brazil I know. I hope they return to their usual soon.
Did you see Brazil play with Dunga in 2015? That was beyond mediocre, it was abysmall
Brazil don’t have a plan. They shouldn’t be building around Neymar. Historically, those Brazilian superstars don’t age well. They currently don’t have a consistent 9. It seems like Luis Fabiano was their last real 9.
Also weird decision, in hindsight, from Diego Costa to represent Spain back in 2014. And spain started to be shit from that point
Adriano was great
DE LA CRUYFF 🔥
Histórico.
Estos leones.
Gracias muchachos
Look what happens when we have a good coach. Tabarez wasted our golden generation but now we have a new one coming.
?? Semis of the World Cup and a copa America. I wouldn’t say that’s wasted tbh
He didn’t had a midfield like this one
He would’ve found one that worked for him instead of letting player agents force him to play certain people
Sky is the limit for bielsa with this group of players. Perfect mix of technique and garra charrua
ugarte wwhat a beast
Viva Bielsa.
Even San Marino scored today and Brazil couldn’t put a shot on target.
No one gets scared of Brazil anymore, Cameroon and Morroco showed that. Brazil is not scary anymore… I will way again, Brazil won’t win any more WC until they get an new Ronaldo or Ronaldinho.
Doesn’t work like that, brazils biggest problem is mental in my opinion. The pressure seems to break these players in the biggest moments.
Oh is that all? They just need to get a new all-time great attacking player?
What is Alison Becker doing on the bench lol
Looking handsome
