Go on Martinelli
He needs another
And Ugarte seals the victory.
It seems like they were trying to make Endrick the focal point of everything they did, which just seems strange to me.
Esteveo has a better goal involvement record for Palmeiras, and he isn’t ready to be the focus of the Senior Brazil team either. Surely they had additional options?
underwhelming.

Can we get a real coaching staff and technical director now?
Conmebol needs an overhaul with how they ref games
Brutal viewing that was

Haha, I don't think that game is going to be much less shithousey
Best goalie in the world can’t save them all. Back to the league for Becker and another stellar season.
The Brazil players don’t seem all that bothered to lose.
Best goalie in the world for Liverpool maybe. He's always been shit for Brazil.
Hope Brazil improve, I don't have any particular fondness for them but seeing them so far from glory doesn't feel right.
The game had 41 fouls. 26 by Uruguay
I don't think the Brasilian coach will survive another day
Thank you. Expected us to go out tonight but didn't expect us to look so toothless throughout the tournament. My expectations were already low, but damn!
He probably shouldn't if we're being honest.
He shouldn't.
He will.
You sound like us English folk!
The Messi format. Cannot have him tiring himself out
Ronaldinho was right
What's even more bizarre is that you've seen Guatemala playing in the copa américa since they've never played it. And Honduras was only invited once in 2001.
It was. Lots of niggly fouls, tactical fouls, only Nandez doing a homage tackle to ages gone by
I've no idea why Bielsa took him off, got the Brazilian backline camping 10 yards up from the halfway line.
This is what I meant about Brazil lately @Carolina Red
Other Brazilian midfields would have players chasing shadows. The more modern ones respond to aggression and intensity with the same currency.
You guys are doing well and we will have Nandez suspended and seems like Araujo out. I still think it will be a tighter contest though, this Brazilian side sucks balls.
Thanks mate, chuffed for the boys as the game was slipping away the moment De La Cruz got his yellow and had to be subbed. Gameplan out of the window (he makes the team tick in transition), but they kept at it.
Not having extra time is a double-edged sword, especially for teams that want to go directly to penalties or, as happened to Argentina the other day, got equalized in extra time. Additionally, it has been like this in the Copa America for a while. Only the final has extra time.
Forgot this was on and fell asleep.
Looks like I did myself a favour.

Not really, Argentina that game could have won 5 to 1, just Messi and Di Maria had between the two 5 clear cut chances facing alone the keeper that with those two means a goal each one of them
I favor our chances against them, Nuñez is just so wasteful, and Nandez basing our will certainly affect their defense. Is Araujo out due tu cumulative yellows? That also will aid us.
It will be a rough match, they will try to stop our transitions, but I have high hopes in us.
I thought that the perfomance with one more man those last minutes would be too much to handle for the CBF and the horde of bad press is coming on their way
I always thought that Nandez it's the workhorse and handsome version of Rooney, cool player, I love the lad in Boca, he gaves 110% the whole time
You're Brazilian?
Araújo came out injured and may not be ready. That's half our backline out and two key players for transition.
The moment he came out we immediately looked disjointed. More so because all Brazil had to do was foul Nico whenever he got the ball. Valverde is off, completely jaded.
He wasn't, if he actually did it, it was so non Ronnie and out of place
Yes, I live in the US though
I'm your neighbor. I'm from Guyana but living in the US as well.
When was the last time this was true though? 1982?
The late 90s early 00s sides showed some real quality at times, thanks to the forwards, but otherwise...this isn't new. 2002 Brazil is remembered for the names, not for the football. '98 they had an awesome game against Denmark, but otherwise again the football was pretty drab. Mostly just give it to Ronaldo and let him do everything
Brazil have been like this for 3 decades now
They've had "cabeças de bagre" since Dunga, yes, but you are referring to "forwards" where I see Rai, Juninho, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaká, etc as midfielders. Attacking ones, yes, but in a completely different league to the likes of Paqueta, for example.
Even with those guys, the times Brazil actually imposed their class and outplayed their opponents vs the times they just dug down, won the physical battle and relied on a couple moments of brilliance to carry the day are still very heavily skewed towards the latter
The reality is that Brazil have been what they are now for 35 years. Sometimes with better/more magical players giving it a veneer of the great Brazil teams of yore, the ones that actually had teams chasing shadows on a regular basis. But it was always a passing thing
If you look closer, Uruguay's 26 were largely spread around, while the large majority of Brazil's 15 were on a single player.
One team was breaking down rhythm, the other was targeting a specific player to prevent any rhythm developing. It's essentially the same thing, just executed differently.
