yeah - like it better to even dehumanize your own players and coach rather than admit there is a better team in the world. Although I've seen it for a lot of top team fans doing that, Brazil fans seem to be world champions of this toxic behavior.

Colombia is on a 26-game unbeaten streak, which these ESPN commentators failed to highlight. They didn’t achieve this by beating scrubs in the Caribbean; they secured victories against Germany, Spain, Romania, USA, and Brazil. Colombia has also tied Brazil as the only teams in South American international football history to reach 10 consecutive victories. Colombia could have broken that record last night, as they were clearly the better team. Brazil created almost no chances, aside from two set pieces. While Brazil has a historically great team, dismissing Colombia's current level is disrespectful.

Dorival is an excelent coach. Too bad people from outside the country doesn't know his story. He gets broken clubs and bring them back to shape, winning titles. He did it time and again, accepting tasks that most would refuse. Brazil is in transition now, leaving Neymar Jr. behind as the "owner, finally. You can't expect them to be a machine after 5 or 6 games, and blame one guy for bad results (after a tie). Especially because there is nothing better to do with this squad for now. They need time, and not haters.

The problem with brazil is you have a coach who doesn't really know what he is doing and just puts his hopes like if he was a fifa player just throwing speedy players and hoping for the best. You don't start a #9, paqueta is your "best" 10 so playmaker rodrygo is not that guy. He's best as a super sub and has mainly failed ti produce when ancelotti plays him in the striker role since he likes to drift out. And sadly this is one of the worse brazil generations out but again this falls on the coach; you have Danilo as your captain and starting rb why not just move militao to rb and start Bremer? You don't have a good holding midfield that can distribute and when the going gets tough it's just let me sub out x person and throw a winger and then throw out endrick praying he does something but everyone knows a good striker needs good service or their just an extra man just running around. Best example is harry kane at the euros rn. Brazils coach is just another Southgate.

I won't blame the coach, he is working with what he has. Brazil don't have the likes of Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Roberto carlos, Davies, Macelo, kaka, Ronaldinho, Andriano, Douglas. Vinicius Junior deserve the yellow catd, he won't be missed, Gabriel Martinelli will take his position. He resort to committing faul due to inability to compete and falls down like pack of cards at every little touch. He is time waster.

Should be 3 yellows in 4 games.

"In a challenge for the ball inside the penalty area, a defender does not touch the ball," South American soccer governing body CONMEBOL said in a video released on Wednesday. "As a result, there is a contact that is not reasonable for the action. The referee fails to observe the action and allows play to continue. "The VAR fails to identify that the defender did not touch the ball before recklessly contacting the Brazilian striker. Therefore, the VAR incorrectly confirms the original on-field decision."

Problem is Brazil ain’t as talented as they use to be and it’s quite funny how they still think they are. Their best player is Vinicius who plays his racism card and always gets rattled if someone physically attacks him 😭😭😭

If Vini Jr wins the Ballon D'Or it will be an all-time embarrassment. 24 goals at the club level and he did absolutely NOTHING on the international level. You have to at least do well in one.

Nothing went wrong they just got outplayed by a better team and lucky they didn’t lose .

The skill level compared to the golden generation has fallen tremendously for Brazil. They rely more now on speed of play and reading the game.

Colombia are a very good side. It’s not difficult to understand what’s going on. Columbia are well into their program. Brazil are at the beginning of a new program. With a bit a time Brazil will be right back where they’ve been forever. When you have talent it just need time to let the talent jell. I’ve seen this same script before.

Uruguay is going to eat them for breakfast. Their midfield is terrible and their CBs are awful. They give up chance after chance after chance. They might actually be a bit more fluid without Vini though. It won’t just be about getting the ball to him and hoping he’ll do something. Went to the first group game and let me tell you, Savio off the ball is a MASSIVE problem. He made them so much worse with his positioning and just lack of awareness around him. And endrick… way too young to be playing the Messi “I’ll run when I think I should but otherwise I will just walk and wait until the time is right” role.

Brazil has a lot of problems that have shown absolutely no signs of being resolved anytime soon. Given their current form, they didn’t really have a chance at beating Colombia yesterday who are on fire at the moment and have gone 26 games undefeated in international football and with their failure to score a goal against Costa Rica despite their 4-1 win over Paraguay, they now to have a high flying Uruguay team in the quarterfinals and they have themselves to blame for the way in which they’re playing and it doesn’t help that Vinicius Junior is suspended for that game. We’re not used to seeing this team finish 2nd of a group in major tournament and go into an important game being seen as the underdogs and it’s telling you everything about the current state of the team right now. When Ronaldinho said that “he’s not supporting the team and they have a bunch of average players and he can’t take it anymore”, he’s not wrong with the boring brand of football they play and how they’re not as attractive as they used to be as they’re a bunch of individuals that look lost has no tactics whatsoever even R9 said that he would rather watch tennis than football and obviously this hasn’t been the wake-up call for this team. You can’t really blame these guys for what they’re saying, they’re not wrong. Brazil have been struggling in the buildup to this tournament and they haven’t been playing well at the Copa América and when you’re a team that’s lacking a creative midfielder, proper fullbacks and don’t have a recognized striker who are you gonna score goals and actually win games against teams you should be beating. It’s rare to see them on such a bad run of form and yes you still don’t want to count them out regardless, but on a gamely basis we don’t know which version of Brazil is going to show up. They’re a team that’s all over the place and maybe them being underdogs against Uruguay is a good thing as that takes the pressure off of them as they know that since people are writing them off, maybe that could benefit them, unless I see some changes, they’re going out since they’re not playing well.

So martineli is not good enough
