  1. Why is everyone is obsessed with Neymar. He has nothing for Brazil in any world cup he participated, I.e. 2014,2018 and 2022. It's about time to forget about Neymar in this and someone else take the center stage. Like Endrick.

  2. Playing the Ancelotti's advocate the fact is that we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes. Maybe Endrick has a mild contusion, a cold, who knows. Things that you'd better stay shut to not cause even more controversy. Heck it happened tons of times in the past. You can't go full disclosure all the time

  3. I don’t see why there’s hate with Paqueta. The thing I love about him is his constant ball movement towards the opponents side/goal. I hate midfielders that keep passing back and being passive. He’s trying to create opportunities but raphinha and Thiago aren’t making his job any easier. Raphinha just looked so slow. At minute 60 he had no legs. Vini had no more legs at minute 80 and that was time for Ancelotti to put in martinelli. I believe he already made 4 changes by that point but a damn forward needed to be swapped out damnit.

    Paqueta made 2 mistakes when passing the ball back, but that’s going to happen in most games anyways. If he made the scissor goal, people would say he played amazing. He was the only player that played that ginga style yesterday, so I don’t get the hate. Vini played good but was dead by 80’.
    Raphinha was just not in top shape.
    Casemiro was just lost.
    Gabriel gave up on chasing and applying pressure on his man.

    Brazil needs to find that chemistry soon, assuming they’re gonna be playing Japan or Netherlands and they may lose based on World Cup history.

  4. As AC MILAN Fan & Supporter of Brazillian Players I Forever thankfull for Don Carletto in club level…. BUT His Player Selection for World Cup 2026 is Not SELECAO😣

    BIG FAILURE FRAUDqueta still there??!! Better player was Left at Home!! Endrick locked in the Bench??!!
    My Favourite Player(this Era) Casemiro… Your Time is Up! You shouldn't play as a starter Anymore

  5. Ancellotti is not the problem. The players are. This is not the Celecao their founders have crafted. Samba masters the Jogo Bonito. Brazil's biggest, most famous, and most humiliating defeat in international football is their 7-1 loss to Germany in the semi-finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup on July 8, 2014. That day Brazil football died. The match, famously dubbed the Mineiraço (meaning "Agony of Mineirão"), was played in Belo Horizonte and remains the largest-margin defeat in the nation's World Cup history. The favellas has stopped producing iconic players. What we are witnessing now is a team of professional "divers" and not the same nation with attacking flair and dominance. Perhaps they should opt for Swimming competitions

  6. Why isn't Brazil playing young players such as Endrick. Stop playing rubbish players from premiership. Ighor is good club player but rubbish at international. Casemerio way too old. Can't run to get ice cream from an ice cream van. Their tactical mistakes made Morocco look good.

  7. Man I donno follow too much football because I am from India and we don’t play football here but I am a Brazil fan since 2006 and sorry to say but this this is the worst I have seen Brazil play since I been watching them ..first 20 mins they had only 28% possession ..that’s not Brazil …this team has alot of holes to fill starting from defence , midfield and attack…I think tile for casemiro to rest and let danilo or Ederson to come in and also who in the world would chose Igor thiago over endrick …this igor guy wud not even be in the first playing XI if my country india had a team thats how bad he is and he is playing for Brazil
    As a big Brazil 🇧🇷 fan it hurts to see what Brazil has come to from pele,ronalod,rivaldo ,kaka we have come to igor,martenelli,cunha ,ibnez, seriously …nevertheless I’ll always support Brazil no matter what

  8. As a Moroccan it feels surreal. When I grew up (2003-2008 era), Brazil was THE club. Yellow shirts in the streets casually. I still have a Ronaldinho shirt from way back. Morocco at the time was nothing. Seeing us go head to head with them in a world cup is crazy.

  9. I am so sad to see the Brazil team looking like a team with poorly talented players. Two decades ago, the Brazil team was feared by all teams; players and goalkeepers would lose sleep the day before playing against them. I think now, Brazil's players are more focused on showing off on social media and partying rather than playing and sacrificing for their country.

  10. A high percentage of Moroccan supporters were a bit disappointed by the draw and were expecting a win against Brazil. A lot of goal opportunities were lost. In the end, a draw isn’t so bad after all for both teams
