Colombia showed they are mortal. I just don't think anybody in South America is able to put them down.
Congrats to Peru, hoping you can consolidate on the great teams you have had during the past few years .
And I'm very glad Chile got eliminated.
Hoping for Colombia and Ecuador wins

Lol Chile had like the worse dribbling skills I had ever seen so far… was like watching amateurs playing out there lol
I don't understand why my wife is mad at me as I was rooting for Chile. I'm not a neymar fan. Shame my USA didn't get invited 😑

Ya they realized they can't dribble so they tried to break the defense by creating the one pass to the attacker making a run but each time those passes failed as well and it was an easy clear or counter. Vargas looked like he could do something but they seemed to have a hard time giving him the ball in the second half.
I was about to say, it was like instantly after you posted that haha
Is funny how Brazil has an easy time in Copa America and qualifiers and then come the world cup, they lose to some european team in the quarter finals
There is something off about this brazil side.
While not filled with superstars, it is stupidly ahead of the others in the region. But they have been fucking around these last few matches. But it doesn't feel like they are just underperforming.
Maybe it's a defence mechanism post-2007, in case we beat Colombia tomorrow.

Unfortunately we play the South American qualifiers that are basically 8 teams that play defensive against us and Argentina (I can remember a few times Argentina tried to play offensive against us and we destroyed them, so they usually play balanced or even defensive), then we get to have friendlies against a bunch of shity teams from all over the world (minus Europe) and guess what, they all play defensive as well.
Meanwhile in Europe they have the Euro qualifiers and the WC qualifiers (both of which are filled with bad teams but even in those scenarios you are very likely to play against an average level team that needs to win so they will at some point play offensive). On top of that there is now the Nations League, which basically erased our chances of getting a friendly with (any) European team because they are busy playing the Nations League while we are probably travelling to Qatar to play a friendly against New Zealand or Canada.
So while Brazil plays 4 years against, 95% of the time against average or bad teams playing defensive, the best European teams are often playing against themselves (Nations League) and even when they play against bad teams it is possible that they will face different strategies every now and then. In the SA qualifiers if we are winning 1x0 the opposing team might pressure us in the end but they are still afraid of conceding the second goal because of the goal difference, they dont mind that much losing 1x0. In an Euro qualifier if you are an average team (say Switzerland, Poland, Sweden, etc), you are playing against the favorites (France, Spain, etc) and only one team qualifies in the group then you better go all in and try to score because in reality this is the only match that matters, there is no way the favorites are gonna lose points against Lithuania or San Marino...
I'd even add that because our players are in Europe and the qualifiers are in SA we probably lose 1 day of training due to travel and even so the players are not instantly jetlag-free so training quality is probably less than ideal.
Sounds like a lot of excuses to use next year LOL but I have a good feeling about the next WC
edit. I am aware the Nations Cup is a recent creation, my post is more about how it will be difficult for Brazil to get well prepared for future World Cups than an excuse/explanation of why we didn't do well in 2018/2010/2006. 2014 was the 7x1 match but that was in the semis so it was a decent showing with 2 terrible matches (3x0 in the 3rd place match)
I'm in favor of doing a Euro cup style for north and South America. It will help our countries a lot in improving against the euros.
And only 1 yellow card so far, they got a huge free pass the whole first half...
Also 😑
Booo!
