ugarte wwhat a beast
I like this Uruguay team. Bielsa is building something nice. Brazil fall off is so crazy
Tabarez lost all his matches against Brazil with embarrassing results. It turns out Uruguay had good players all along and should have been playing these kind of matches as a big team. Yes, this Brazil is weak, but results against Brazil and Argentina during Tabarez tenure were embarrassing, the guy was phobic when he had to face the other south american giants.
Lol you never look at the other coach, do you ? We never lost a single Qualifier under Tite, you coud have Tabarez, Bielsa or whatever and still going to lose
Thanks today win to that dumbass Fernando Diniz.
90 minutes and we had 2 shots on goal. One a scuffed header from a corner that went miles wide and the other a shot from a direct free kick. We couldn’t create a single chance to shoot from open play in 90 minutes.
And by the way, the last 2 games we also created nothing and only scored one goal from a corner in each game.
In 7 games since the world cup, we’ve lost 3, to Marroco, Senegal and Uruguay.
This is one of the most (maybe the most?) pathetic sequence of games I remember seeing from the national team.
Look what happens when we have a good coach. Tabarez wasted our golden generation but now we have a new one coming.
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
?? Semis of the World Cup and a copa America. I wouldn’t say that’s wasted tbh
This just means Brazil will win 2026
In 1994, Brazil won the World Cup after struggling to qualify. In 2002, Brazil won the World Cup after struggling to qualify… hope they cruise through these qualifiers.
We argentinians repeated than nonsense for a long time, we struggled to qualify to the 1986 World Cup and ended up winning it, so everytime that we struggled we used to say we would have a great world cup just like in 1986, it never worked out that way though. We ended up winning our third cup after a great qualifier and arriving in our best form possible. If you don’t have a good world cup cycle, chances are you’ll also do bad at the world cup and viceversa. Obviously things like 1986 or 2002 can happen, but they’re not the norm nor desireable.
Uruguay has such a talented team. Araujo, Nunez, Valverde, Ugarte etc. They will be tough to beat for the top teams.
Once Bielsa gets that machine going they are gonna put opposing teams through fitness hell.
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.
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
What is Alison Becker doing on the bench lol
Looking handsome
I am sick of it! All those trash CF can go to hell!
Marcos Leonardo and Vitor Roque NOW!
With all due respect but they will probably be overhyped and fail. The level of talent in Brazil and also Italy is at an all time low rn.
I love how in everything Brazil post 1/3 of the comments is why Alisson isn’t starting it also seems to be from people that aren’t brazilian. Crazy that this is happening.
I don’t think Brazil would have won with him, since our team just sucks in general and the on’es that shuldn’t are sucking ex: Vini and Gabriel Jesus, but they could have drawn or a 1-0 instead.
Viva Bielsa.
Fine. I guess Venezuela will have to be the one to challenge Argentina since Brazil aren’t doing it
Soteldo >>>>> Vini in NT
A little biased due my flair but
I know the Selecao had to move on from Tite, but they would never have suffered a result like this under him
Tite is a great coach. People forget how it was before him: Dunga, Scolari, Menezes, Dunga again.
Brazil played horribly before him. Tite was the one to change the team to one of the favourites to win the WC. Without him, we would have fared much worse in 18 and 22.
We were eliminated in the qfs both WCs. I think Tite definitely deserves credit for how time with the NT but I can’t ever forget his lack of plan b, c and d that led to our elimination in the QFs.
No it would have happened at the World Cup instead lol
