    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.

    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.

    That’s genuinely one of the worst performances from Brazil, ever. 1 shot on target, and the entire team looked clueless.

    Drop Marquinhos and Casemiro, play a midfield 3 of André, Guimarães, Paqueta to not get overrun, and play attackers based on performances for the Seleção, not for their clubs. Martinelli/Rodrygo should be ahead of Vinicius for the LW (who has been nothing short of abysmal), and Raphinha is the nailed on the starter for the RW.

    Neymar continues to carry that attack, and now he’ll be out for months. That game against Argentina might be embarrassing if things don’t change.

      Raphinha is literally the worst winger we have by a mile.

      Martinelli had one game to try to do shit and guess what we lost to fucking Cameroon while Vinicius was our best attacking player during WC.

        Vinicius was our best attacking player during WC

        yeah, he really made the difference in the WC, we wouldn’t have done it without him.

        Vini Jr is the better player, but he is a shadow of himself playing for Brazil with these tactics, Martinelli overall had more impact every time he was on the field, and that was true for the last game as well.

        Lmfao you clearly didnt watch that WC game. Or at the very least remember it. Martinelli was the only person doing things that game.

    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.
