Brazil’s managers are awful. Brazil has underachieved for nearly 2 1/2 decades.
They would have lost at home vs Colombia if the referees actually called the game rather than piling on the Brazilian bandwagon… and then they faced Germany and it was GLORIOUS!
And then they got spanked in the 3rd place match as well, but they had no business making it past the quarterfinals.
Brazilian managers are absolutely awful these days.
CR7 continues to show on these friendlies. That he shouldn’t even be on the squad.
Love Jimmy Conrad!!!!❤
3:12 Again with this "jogo bonito expectations" thing. This is and always was an outside projection. Brazil's identity, to Brazilians, has always been WINNING. Otherwise we would not have won it with a packed midfield of defensive players in in 94 and with a back 3 in 02.
Haiti is good. They willl beat Scotland.
They do every year imagining a UCL final between Real Madrid vs Barcelona. This is the World Cup version of it that happens every 4 years
argentina will most likely play Uruguay or spain in the roun of 32. both would be difficult games
the other guy, not jimmy, can't shut up. he constantly interrupts. who the hell is he? why is his opinion so important. how rude! complete lack of respect for his colleagues, as well as the viewers. take him off the show, and the show will be so much better.
2:08 😂 you are surprised?? Brotha Spain Or Portugal is gonna win this WorldCup.
Most good people say Football. Saying soccer is just stupid.
Brazil will benefit from easy path but they should not make semis. They may and that shows how diluted this wc has become.
Fix your audio please
I think if endrick from Brazil starts to find passes and scoring opportunities this Brazilian side gona be dangerous. I just feel if Brazil can rack up momentum and then being use to the heat they can make semi finals at most. What I find Hilarious is how people think Croatia is making a deep run… modric is like 40 and most of the squad is old. They too will be feeling that heat and probably flounder like they did in 2014 vs Mexico where Croatia 3-1 and most of their squad was stacked and young
Argentina vs Portugal will be in the semifinals.
It's football not soccer .
How ull can just ignore the W Champions, n ruling them out. Their experience and footballing brains will rock this time. It's Messi's team guys. Watch out for the Magical Man and an upcoming young talent Nico Paz
1:38 England 3rd to win??? LOLOLOLOLOLLOL
It's funny how Entire Barca/Messi fanbase of 1 billion Indian population is saying Portugal has a easy group.
Both Congo (given its economic problems and unfortunate history) and Uzbekistan has qualified for a WC while their country can't even make a WC despite having 1 billion people
Man pessi glaze is insane,they are not even hiding the hate towards Ronaldo , man scored against every opponent in Nations league and was the topscorer at 40 but still these mf cries and hate on him just for views 🤡🤡
The Greatest there was
The Greatest there is
The Greatest there ever will be
The GOAT Cristiano Ronaldo 🐐🇵🇹👑
If Argentina and Portugal win their respective groups, they would meet in the Quarterfinals not the 16s
That Would Be The Most Watched Football Match Ever In The History Of The World Cup
The reason Spain are ahead of France is because they have the best TEAM. France has the best INDIVIDUALS.
Argentina is a mid block team , they play through the midfield, their midfield is one of the best if not the best, also in terms of “team” dynamic
