- In this video, I will cover the apparent downfall of perhaps the most storied and significant international side in the history of football. The Seleçao of Brazil is one of the most iconic teams within sports history and their presence and dominance in the World Cup has been a tale that has been told since the mid 1950's.
And whilst they still hold the record of winning the most FIFA World Cups in history with 5 magical triumphs to the top of the world, in he last five world cups, the Seleçao have failed to live up to expectations.
Join me, in the breakdown and analysis of Brazil's World Cup downfall and how a once unbeatable side has become a perennial disappointment in recent memory.

Neymars career is perhaps the biggest victim of the Messi/CR era.
Whithout them ,his career would be considered incredible,only missing a World Cup as he would have won the Balandor in 2015 if Messi wasn't inhumanly good .
True that. The unusual longevity of Messi and CR7 has screwed over an entire generation of young players.

The immense pressure and expectations may be too much and subconsciously affects their ability to win. The WC is always unpredictable and this is where the underdogs have an advantage because they have zero expectations and can just focus on playing ball. I hope to see Brazil win the next World Cup and cement their place at the top 🎉
Actually, WC 2020 was predictable if you follow betting house.
@@bangrojai4868 2020?
They’re just not good enough, no offence to Brazilians but you had a guy up front who two years ago struggled to get into a failing Everton team
What Immense pressure ? All they do is clown around, choreograph dance routines and expect to compete internationally ?
@@GuinessOriginal LOL sorry...2022. bet house put France vs Argentina in final.
We talk about this a lot in Brazil. Yes, there’s the pressure, but that’s nothing new. The Seleção has always had immense pressure since 1970, but they’ve performed under those circumstances before and even gone all the way.
The problem is the technical ability of our coaches: we’re still stuck in the past. Even R9 said, when he came back to Corinthians in 2008, that football here hadn’t changed since he had left Cruzeiro has an 18 year old boy.
Tite was far and away the best coach Brazil had, and he was outclassed and had absolutely no idea what to do against an aging Croatia side that, apart from its midfield, had nothing impressive going for it. Apart from the Germany defeat in 2014, this was our most embarrassing defeat ever. Since atleast in 2018 we got unlucky against Belgium’s greatest team in history.
His substitutions were laughable too, subbing off Paqueta, an AM, for Fred, another AM, and bringing off Militão, who was our best RB playing improvised and our best defender, to bring on Alex Sandro and move Danilo to RB, two mediocre players who were just coming off injury.
Don’t get me started on calling up Dani Alves at 39 too and wasting a call up spot on a position we were very weak in.
Our physical training is pathetic, we were exhausted and gassed out after 90 minutes whilst the Croatians could keep fighting.
Another weird thing was that Tite brought his son along with the staff, probably because he needs a job, rather than a psychologist to help deal with the pressure.
It’s not even a question of South American football being passed by the Europeans, since Argentina just won the trophy, we lack unity, teamwork and a real fighting spirit.
I have to agree with you. Brazil always had talented players,they lack strategy now. Tite costed Brazil this 2022 World Cup with his terrible substitutions and team selection. You had a player like Douglas Luiz but still picked Fred. And Fabinho didn’t even play. Richarlison playing with hamstring injury and Martinelli not even getting proper chance. I watch Brazilian league games often, club teams other than Flamengo and Palmeiras rest seems lacking good strategy, living in the past. Argentina has many good coaches who understand the game, Poche, Simone coaching in Europe but Brazil has no coach in Europe. And my Brazilian friends tell me that CBF is corrupt as f**k. Hope Brazil learns the modern game because individual talent is not going to win it now. Will cheer for the Selecao again in 2026.
Fred lowkey underrated
Immense pressure began with the 1950 WC final
Question? Do you think he should’ve matched croatias midfield 3 with a 3 of his own? to attempt to at least get more ball. croatia was playing a defeanive possession game but that could’ve been taken away with Bruno G. Or did tite just want as many attackers and forwards as possible? I thought that was alil naive especially vs croatias very good midfield 3.
@@S1LVAW0LF No, Tite screwed up thinking the same attacking line up we used against South Korea would work against a top European side, and when everyone and their grandmother could see that Brazil were completely dead in the midfield, he did nothing to change the formation or game plan and thought we would still win that way. He was extremely naïve and borderline arrogant thinking Brazil could win that way.
The problem with Tite is that he didn't trust Bruno G enough and that's why he didn't let him play, it's one of the reasons the brazilian press have criticised him so much. He calls up players who are either injured, past their prime or not in form anymore simply because he trusts them.
It's why he keeps calling up Gabriel Jesus for us despite not scoring any goals since 2019 copa america final.
Scaloni realised Croatia's only strong point was their midfield, so he played with five players in the midfield and put Paredes and Fernandez on Modric, pretty much blocking him out of the game, killing Croatia's attacking threat since they had no good strikers.
And then when Argentina got a penalty, Croatia couldn't afford to just sit back and play for a draw anymore and had to attack in hopes for an equalizer, opening up space in their defence which allowed Argentina to annihilate them on the counter.
That's what makes this defeat so embarrassing, Argentina destroyed the team that knocked us out simply because their coach wasn't a moron and knew exactly how to expose Croatia, since they literally only had one game plan.
The Brazilian team in this tournament was immense, they lost concentration for a few minutes against Croatia and paid the price... I believe this team would have won the world cup
I don't think they would be able to defeat Argentina. If you look at how Argentina played the whole tournament they played as a unit, and were ready to die for Messi. They defeated Brazil in the Copa and I'm sure if it came to that again Brazil would lose.
I doubt they would get past Argentina... for obvious reasons, but they would def had won against Croatia if it wasn't for that small mistake... even Neymar was mad with his team
they lost against cameroon and only beat the Swiss 1-0
Think about the team that did it-- the margins were razor-thin. Argentina dominated France most of the match and ran out of gas for the last 10 minutes of regulation. If not for a magnificently extended Dibu leg... ❤
I think they are the best squad but their mentality and mind and heart was not champion. They lose concentration to detail and let their guard down you cant do that at highest level in football their opponents are also qualities they will punish any weakness.
Neymar clearly shouts for the team to fall back and defend, they didn't listened and conceded
It's a technical mistake that would happen anyway and it's hard to pick players in Brazil because even though they're good they don't have experience playing with a more up-to-date style of play, so you get a very young team and you can't train them well tactically and it happens

Football tactically in Brazil has not evolved, but this has changed in recent years
Brazil have always won through overwhelming talent. Neymar's generation, although still an excellent side, does not compare with the arsenals of their yesteryears.
they dont have the team spirit..sorry..look at Argentina..they play as a unit. not Brasil though.
They (arguably) still have the most talented club in the last decade
The thing is in part the world has mostly caught up, and there is still not a culture of reacting against adversity that Argentina has. Brazil usually demolishes, or loses (at times by a lot, a times by thin margins), but there is really no culture of "grit" (Argentina, even when being the better team against the Netherlands and France, demonstrated a lot of grit in both of those matches). I can't think of any match were Brazil turned it around or traded punch against punch (could be wrong though).
Actually this 2022 Brazil squad was much better than the 1994 champion squad...
@@guilhermesotero9138 even the 2002 that limped to the championship. 98 was the best since pele/Garincha
Everybody knows how incredible is the pressure over these men. Social media really takes it another level. And yet, they decided not to take any psichologist with the staff. Not a single one! Everyone will agree that this was an error that took it's share on the defeat
Social media is not the excuse.. the bosman rule and many players leaving to europe at a young age has more to do with it.
Defeat was COMPLETELY DESERVED.
Same thing in 2018, Neymar got a knee to his back and was out against Belgium. Instead of focusing on the job they focused on celebrating a sad boy neymar because he was injured, they focused on organizing dinners and all that was crossing their minds was posting stuff on social media.
They lack SERIOUSNESS. Just like this last cup too.
As a brazilian a feel sad but not enraged, our nation loves to live off of past glory and that glory was 20 years ago.
"We are the best, when others win its because they got lucky". Im tired of this arrogance.
@A K well brazil is the best ever given the history 👏 i love brazil being Uruguayan thats a crime lol best team ever no doubt . But yeah they lack seriousness
Too much expectations.
Croatia was a real challenge for Brazil in the world cup. And they fail. On the other hand Argentina faced Netherlands, Croatia & final. Argentina didn't have any superstar except Messi. They were an average team but Brazil was full of superstars in every position. Argentina played like a team. On the other hand Brazilian coach was in total confusion who will play in which position. Everyone is a superstar. And that costs Brazil.
And Argentina coach deserves massive respect for winning the world cup with an average team.
just because he’s brazillian, people expect way more than he could give (via R9, Ronaldinho, Romario) not to say he’s not an amazing footballer, because he is one of the best. Maybe not Top 5, but around Top 10-12. But because he has so much mental pressure from social media and people wanting him to achieve things that he can’t because of that pressure, it just destroys him.
you may not see this comment, but you have a nice channel. VERY under the radar.
I appreciate your kind words my friend! 🙏🫡
Although in the selection itself, Neymar has already surpassed Ronaldinho for a long time
@@ep6713 Nope You just have dumb opinions
@@yotsubavilasboas5707 In the national team, Ronaldinho was never the same as in Barcelona, my friend. He had an embarrassing World Cup in 2006, even though he was, at that time, the current best player on the planet.
Just look at goals, assists, individual performance in competitions and you will see that Neymar is superior to Ronaldinho in everything.
Neymar didn't play alone. Neymar had a good team, vinicius, raphinha, richalyson, militao, casemiro. In Croatia's goal, they removed the militao and there they scored the goal. The articulation for the attack was dependent on neymar and vinicius. And it didn't work to try to articulate with other players, the coach had no experience with this way of playing and it didn't work. Brazil lost several cups that had an extremely talented but technically much inferior team. European coaches make up a third of coaches in the Brazilian championship, and there are no Brazilian coaches in any team in Europe, that's a fact. This occurred due to several factors, one of which being the fatality of business clubs, the bourgeoisization of clubs, corruption and the inability of club managers
They had the best team on paper and performance throughout the tournament sadly they fell into thinking they're safe against Croatia who got a solid defense. Neymar deserves better ngl I feel bad always overshadowed by Messi/cr7, hopefully next world cup the team starts focusing & put in their mentality that they aren't safe at all and go all out. Like what Argentina did for Messi in fact their loss against Saudi Arabia is what kicked their behinds in gear again and playing every game like it's a knockout one, that's what Brazil needs to do next time
100% agree 10/10 analysis
In performance Brazil was not nearly what it could have been. A great second half vs Serbia, a great game vs Korea, and a decent second half/first half of OT vs Croatia to to say the most. Coming from a Brazilian, Argentina and France were far superior when it came down to performance
@@thiagosilveira2466 That's not all true cause Argentina wasn't convincing for a while but they got better each time. France were up & down not the amazing team of 2018 they honestly just play dirt and get lucky lol Overall Brazil were way stronger esp on paper sadly it does feel like they lack fighting spirit sometimes & think they're safe whenever they're up a score. Hoping for a win in 2026!
@@thiagosilveira2466 Tbh Argentina team wasn't that great.
Honestly they also knew they were favorites and it got to their heads. You can't tell me they didn't underestimate Croatia.
no one underestimated croatia, the favorite almost never wins the cup. Croatia tightened and Brazil responded, and the game went well until they removed one of the main players in the match and the player he was scoring scored the goal. The error was technical, something that Brazil has not been able to improve for more than 20 years. due to a series of factors, the lack of business clubs, the bourgeoisization of clubs, and the technical inability of club presidents and boards, in addition to corruption (not being the main factor, it happens more often)
I personally don’t think Brazil underestimated Croatia especially after Croatia reached the 2018 WC finals.
Brazil has very talented players everytime. If they don't have so much talented players i don't think the majority would consider them as the title favorites.
yeah, ive being saying that brazil for how much talent they have underachieve and that maybe they aren't the best country, people called me crazy but for being the best country and winning majority of your world cups in a old system doesn't really seem like the best, they produce the best talents but if we have them to the world cup they genuinely need a team that's unfair to win against, 1994 and 2002 being prime examples, in my opinion brazil in the next 3 wolrd cups will officially be bethrown as the best i hope im wrong but i do think thats going to happen
I can't believe they didn't play defensively after scoring that late goal in 2nd half of extra time. The whole last few mins felt so dumb it was unbelievable. And once they got to tie breaker, they almost completely lost all the confidence. Looks like they didn't learn from Croatia vs Japan's match.
Congratulations Tite!
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time because I remember watching Brazil in 1998 in 2002 and so forth. They have always been favorites just because they are Brazil and they have the history of five World Cup wins but I think they are reaching a tipping point I believe that in 2026 they will not go into the tournament as favorites only contenders if that happens they won’t have so much pressure to perform and then crack under that pressure. I believe that if they just go with us contenders in that be branded as favorites, they have a better chance and also it could be there 24 year old dry spell just like in 94 when it was a 24 year old dry spell.
Brazil always favourites be it 2014 or 2022.
It's a technical error that would happen anyway and it's difficult to choose players in Brazil because even though they are good they don't have experience playing with a more up-to-date style of play, then you get a very young team and you can't train them well tactically and that happens
If recent performance is Brazil's "downfall", then what does one make of Germany and Italy then? At least Brazil is still getting to the latter stages of every World Cup. It has just been a bit unlucky it lost those 50/50 matches, but no one doubts Brazil is still (and always is) a strong side, and you never write Brazil off.
Italy ur right but from 2002-2014 Germany had always made it to the final four of the World Cup(even though they crashed out the last two) so I feel as though If they crash out again it’ll be their downfall but for Brazil they’ve only made 1 final four appearances from like the last 5 world cups
@@khanhussain5843 O Brasil é a única seleção do mundo a avançar SEMPRE até as quartas de final desde seu título em 2002. Estamos SEMPRE entre as 8 melhores seleções do mundo.
As a brazilian, and since your video focused mainly on Neymar and pressure, I would argue that pressure is mainly an issue for Neymar himself, not necessarily a main issue for the whole team. I'm from an age where I've seen Ronaldo, Romário, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Kaká, Adriano and many of the greatest brazilian players from the 90's and the 2000's. Absolutely no player has ever been more present on media - not just social media, but the media in general - than Neymar has. He was known among football fans even before he debuted in professional football. Along the early years of his career, when he was still playing here in Brazil, he was constantly the main attraction on some of the biggest TV shows, constantly the main piece in the news, tabloids and everything else. Neymar himself, his father, his sister, his ex-girlfirends, his affairs, his son, everyone around him and everything he did was subjected to wide media coverage.
To further talk about Neymar, we have to talk about another man: Galvão Bueno, the biggest, nationwide most known announcer and sports commentator; he was the main announcer for Brazil's main team's matches in the biggest TV channel/network on the entire country for some 30 odd years. Galvão officialy retired from annoucing after 2022's World Cup ended. He covered 13 World Cups. When Neymar begins to play for Brazil's main team, not long after he debuted for Santos, Galvão idolized Neymar like he was some kind of second coming in the making. There is speculation to why that happened, but nothing can be ultimately proven as a fact. Ronaldo (R9), through his sports business company was one of the main entities behind Neymar's career at the time, the main one being Neymar's father, who was and still is his manager. There is said to have been meetings of the pair of managers with the network executives and Galvão. Through what only could have been a lot of money and other things we can't know for certain, it's said they sealed a deal. Galvão, on behalf of the channel would have to boost Neymar's name and popularity, and the other shows and news programs of the network would do the same. Although there is some evidence for this case, we don't have access to many details, so again this is speculation so far. Galvão widely popularized the term "menino Ney", something like "Ney the kid", "boy Ney", anyway, you got the gist of it. "Menino Ney" was the most well known nickname for Neymar in Brazil, one that he is still know by to this day even being 30 years old already. Neymar was treated and portrayed like the ultimate golden boy, untouchable, a young celebrity on the rising. It was almost like football was just a background for his fame.
Those notions were so insistently pounded into brazilian's minds by the media that after some time it started being annoying and even infuriating. Bear in mind that all of this was around 2009-2013, BEFORE social media had the humongous size it has today. A lot of people started to gain distaste on Neymar's figure even before he was involved in any major controversy. Despite that, some sports comentators would say back in the day that Neymar was the biggest one to ever come after Pelé. Some still maintain this opinion as a fact to this day. Neymar's ego was boosted so much from such a young age that he was quickly known among professionals and people around him (inside and outside the field) for his entitlement, insubordination, lack of respect, short temper, emotional outbursts and so many more problems. So much so that back in 2010, the year after he debuted, Atlético Goianiense's coach René Simões said on a press interview right after his team played a match against Santos that by indulging Neymar and letting him behave like that they were "creating a monster", and that Neymar needed to be educated and to learn his place. Neymar would stand up to referees when they didn't call a foul on him (even after rolling on the ground, acting and exaggerating everything) as well as he would defy the orders and authority from coaches and older teammates alike. If there was a penalty, he would grab the ball and run up to the mark to take it, even if and when he was not the team's main penalty taker. If the coach decided to swap him in the middle of a match, Neymar would get angry and argue with him. It was like Neymar was a star and everyone else had to bow their heads to him, and if someone stood up to him, they could only be envy, filled with jealousy, only trying to take away his shine.
The following years were more or less the same, things for Neymar would barely change. The only exception was his time at Barcelona. Things were smoother and with less controversy because he wouldn't and couldn't defy and try to trump figures like Messi, Suarez, Xavi, Iniesta or Luis Henrique. He had to play by their rules, as a team. When he left Barça and then joined PSG, Neymar showed his true colors again. He thought he could boss the entire team, but he is terrible at that. What Neymar failed to perceive after so many years is that football is team played, and he is at his best being a team player. Although technically skilled beyond any doubt, Neymar is not the kind of player that can oftenly turn an entire match by himself, like most people believe. He is a team player. In spite of that, the notion of "a genius" that can do everything by himself was hammered into his brain since the beginning, because we, Brazil as a country, were in a shortage of great players like the ones we had in the past. So, by being the best and youngest one, Neymar was always taught to believe he had to do everything by himself and the team had to play by him. This is a notion openly shared by many who coached him, even by the media and sports commentators.
It's not like bad behaviour is a new problem for brazilian players, we had players that would rival Neymar long before his time. Romário is one of the greatest examples. He liked the night life and partying way too much. He was oftenly overbearing and hard-headed. Romário even left european football and came back to Brazil because he liked partying too much and he wanted to be around his friends. His big head would ofently come through a big mouth, and so his irreverence was well documented in the media. Through controversy, specially with coaches, he would not get to play the 2002 World Cup. He also didn't like training, so was no rarity for him to skip it. Despite all of that, still, Romário always delivered. In the last minute, Romário asked to take a penalty in the 1994 World Cup final, even if by then he only had taken three penalties in his entire professional career and he would even refuse to take penalties in training, mocking the other players' training. Still, he argued with the coach saying something like "I've got you covered, let me handle this". And he scored. Romário is renowed for instances were he would stand up to coaches and tell them things like "If I score three goals in this game, you will swap me after halftime and I am off to a plane to Brazil to party". And he would always score. He famously said, in more than one instance, that "when I was born, God stared at me and said 'you are the man'". He was Zlatan before Zlatan. Romário thrived in challenge and pressure, Neymar cracks under it. Yet still Neymar is looked up by all his country mates like the main source of leadership and inspiration.
By this point, we come to another crucial point in Brazil's downfall: the coaches. Tite, who was our coach for the last six years is not a professional capable of winning a World Cup. Is not like he is overtly bad, he is perhaps the best brazilian coach we could have picked at the time, but he does not have what it takes. He doesn't study the teams he is up against; he is not capable of making significant changes to a team, to the team tactics or formation during a match; he is not able to comprehend where he fails and why, and that comes through all his interviews with his snooty persona. Even worse, Tite's philosophy revolves around pleasing the players he likes and trust, he looks up to them even when they are not playing well for months or years on end. Throughout all his years with Brazil, Tite always treated Neymar like a protegee. He took Neymar under his arms and would never let anyone criticize him. Neymar was never left to stood up for himself. That kind of attitude only made things worse for everyone. Even Galvão - who was one of the biggest boasters of Brazil's team, coach and specially Neymar- was in a falling out in the last couple of years. He heavily criticized Tite and Neymar, even controversially called Neymar "an idiot". A lot of people that really liked Neymar are now angry at him, not because of what he is, but because of what he could have been. So much wasted potential. He could have rivaled Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's hegemony if he really wanted to.
Football here in Brazil, specially concerning to coaches, is very much stuck some 20 years in the past, we are pretty much living off our past glory. Things are changing sluggishly due to a myriad of reasons, one of them being the hard-headed, proud and stubborn mentality of many people involved. There is also a fair bit of corruption, lobbying and general lack of investiment and care by some of the biggest football associations. For now, we will have to look at our "hermanos" and historical rivals Argentina to at least try and start to get our stuff together.
To further understand the young Neymar's mentality (and the mentality of many of our players from the younger generations), there is a curious history that surfaced recently. Everyone around Neymar knew he would become a great player since he was a child, so much so that when came the time for him to enter what is analogous to high school, there were a lot of private and renowed schools from Santos (the city) competing for his enrollement, even offering for him to study for free, because getting him into their schools was like free marketing given he was already famous. He got into one of those schools. One time, when he was approximately 14 years old, during an exam, Neymar simply returns the exam blank when the time is out. The following day, the teacher aks him why he did that, as he aswers "teacher, I don't need that, I won't be on a crap salary like yours. I will be a football player." She then starts to cry. (yes, I know some will say this is a good fic, but it was confirmed by people close to Neymar). Neymar, as well as many of our younger players, was already a millionaire by 14. He was the main source of income for his parents and family ever since he was 13. By 15 he had a salary of approximately USD 7000.00 a month, adjusted to todays inflation. That is good money everywhere, but here in Brazil that's a load of money, he already was into the 1% richest by then.

I am the biggest Brasil Fan since the early ninetees. But i really question the talent of those players in the world cup 2022. You have to measure them not only by talent but also by mental strenght and leadership. Allthough i really cheer for them everytime they play, they are nothing compared to the ninetees era. There is no Rivaldo, no Cafu, no Roberto Carlos, no Dunga, no Leonardo and certainly no Romario/Ronaldo/Bebeto/Ronaldinho. They are all like Coutinho. And outstanding player on paper but lacks character and leadership. There was a time when Brasil had players like Juninho on the bench. Sorry.
That maybe true but you forget Brazil doesn’t need all of those players that you mentioned to win the World Cup. Take argentinas team, who only had Messi and di maria and a bunch of young guys ready to win it all
@@yahirmh8423 yes, but you need to add the coach... Argentinians coaches are much better than the brazillian ones.
The ,6th best argentinian coach is better than Tite (the best brazillian coach rn)
The reason why Brazil failed is mainly entailing laziness, unlike Argentina, Brazil didn't have such a driving force, these guys assumed they'd win every match, whereas Argentina fought to win the matches. In the Croatia match when Brazil conceded, it was only the backline of Brazil that was there during the counter by Croatia, not one player tracked back fast, which explains why they lost, tired legs or not, you have to fight till the end, this is something Brazil didn't come across.
Argentina was like that too before they got a wake up call, losing that first match may have been their saving grace and basically made them get their sht together, meanwhile Brasil easily defeated weaker opponents and only lost when playing their B team so it's no surprise that they were arrogant against Croatia and lost like that, it was a deserved loss caused by their arrogance.

France played with two players who returned from illness and were without one of the key players. And still tied in the normal game. And lost on penalties with a young team, that's normal. If Brazil had played too lazy, we wouldn't even have gone to the cup, everyone who went there wanted to win. But there are several technical problems that prevented this, Brazilian football technically has not evolved for over 20 years. And that's a no-brainer. Will only works for drawing, bad movie and motivational speech. Sometimes you lose even with the will to win
Hey I’m a Brazil fan and 48 yrs old. I have followed them since 86. But this current team is not a accomplished as the 1994 and 2002. Compare player for player, and all will be revealed. Brazil also has the following problems with certain positions LB and RB. CM ball carrying player like Modric. Also a forward. Brazil has not had a player that leads any league in scoring. That’s there problem. Not social media.
As a Brazilian, I can say that you're totally right. Everyone has strong opinions on Neymar (on both sides) and some even say that the Brazil team would be better without him. Besides all that, he inspired an entire generation of Brazilian kids that wanted to be like him.
Funny you blaming neymar alone. In reality, no other players in Brazil is good as neymar and thats why Brazil fail! Not because of neymar. Old era like 3r and kaka, they had each other to be great and won world cup. Neymar? he is all alone so stop blaming neymar for Brazil failure
@@sherock4761 is simple without him they won copa America …with him they lost copa America lol
Its so hard to find videos that keep me interested, this was so entertaining to watch. One of my new favourite channels
thank you so much my man! Plenty more to come! 🙏
Brazil's national team can be compared to the U.S. Military. Whenever there's an opponent, it's not a matter of "if they can win" but rather by how much.
The U.S. military losses badly to tiny opponents all the time. They spent 30 trillion dollars and the last 20 years losing to 70 000 medieval sandal wearing goat herders
And the US have lost fewer wars than Brazil have lost football matches
Button pressing warriors
@@viksinha5410 I know the US went to countless of wars, but nowhere near as many as football matches a national team gonna play throughout it's entire history. Such a unfair comparison. If anything US military suffers relatively more embarrassments with them losing wars against Vietnam, Cuba, and Afghanistan, supposedly poor and weak third world countries.
@@stevenskliros9608 let's not throw away those precious American lives just to kill some subhumans in Afghanistan lmao
Neymar didnt play his full potential
Actually it's has to be CR7 vs Messi vs Neymar
But Messi overshadowed Neymar in Barca
Now Messi, Mbappe in PSG
Neymar got pathetic teammates in term of mentality. Their manager are all dull one dimension manager. Brazil now are Zico generation. Good but lack of winning mentality.
you really think mbappe overshadows neymar ? The same guy who cant win a game against Lens once neymar and messi arent playing ok
neymar overshadows messi in psg
@@papaxota4725 you watch one game and start to think that Neymar has been a better player for PSG..... Mbappe has been their best player for last three years or so. Neymar is also very injury prone.
@@androidgamingking630 just see the stats neymars is an overall more complete player than mbappe. If you'd watched the games you'd also know ney is a better playmaker, more creative, more assistences, better shooting accuracy percentage, and both have almost same amount of goals. Mbappe is great he may have more goals but he is still not in neymar spot, the top 3 of the world is still his.
Neymar is actually lacking the right motivation and mental strength. Maybe its the lack of a suitable partner. He's involved in hookups and relationships that don't last long. And his friends are always partying. Because they get to travel in private yachts and jets. His current gf also loves to flaunt on social media. Its sad actually. He is not able to see the reality because it has been always like this since his teenage years. The kind of love he shows to his son is actually very deep so it isn't like that he doesn't have that caring side in him. But not a single person around him bothers to show him the mirror. Because everyone is making money off of him.
He can still win and amaze the world but that would require a great partner. Who could show him the true faces of these leeches. And make him understand how blessed he is to be able to stand on that football field with millions of people cheering for him. I mean god has given him so many chances. He gets injured but is healed because god knows he can achieve great things. I hope he get to meet a good girl who will show him the reality of world. The reality that there's no way that all these bunch of people he always hangs out with are his real friends. They are just having the times of their lives while Ney is spending his money. Also that how much he'll regret all this later in life when he won't be on the field anymore and the young players will take over. He believes in god but is not on the right path. The key is not to be a religious person but a righteous person. Clubbing everyday with bunch of girls dancing in your lap and then getting in bed with one of them is no way the definition of enjoying life.
He needs to turn himself into a man. He'll be 31 this year. He talks about getting married and having kids. But if you are getting into relationships from hooks-ups and Insta DMs, no way you'll wife up one of them. Physical attraction will fade away one day. He need to get into the mindset of gratefulness. and realize that there are millions of kids out there who have his posters in their rooms and they dream of being like him one day. But you know what, they change their mind because everyone laughs at them for idolizing a player who disappointed so many people because of his un-seriousness towards the game. I pray he meets a good girl who isn't a gold digger and have values and turns his life around. I mean look at Robert Downey Jr, he turned his life around just so he could marry his wife. Now he is one the most loved celebrity. He needs to become a family man. Nothing will be impossible for him if he understands the truth of life.
Psg killed any chance of him being competitive, he's played in a league in which his team has no rival for so long now that he has forgotten what it is like to play under pressure and against equal opposition. So that any time he faces a true challenge he just collapses and throws his toys out of the pram. No player who wanted to be the best would go to psg half way through their career that is the choice of a person choosing the easy way out. So he deserves to be made fun of in my opinion.
You are so right because people keep saying that if he was at Barcelona he would’ve have won the champions league and a Ballon D’or but would he?I mean as you said the people surrounded by him are not helping him he needs to sack all of them and ditch them If we look at Messi he dosen’t have the friends Neymar has that’s why he is amongst the greats and until Neymar realises this he will become a great player also this is one of the reasons why he’s not a great player yet.Off the field he needs to train more and work hard that is what he’s missing
@Brad Hurst I agree with what you are saying but we also need to question who are the people that influenced him to make this decision
@@Jxxxbm yeah these people just upload a picture of him on their insta profiles and show how sad they are for him when he loses a game, like instead of doing that maybe tell him that lets not go to party today, you go play for your team and we could celebrate later or that don't fly all these insta models from brazil to paris, its not worth it. And its not 100% their fault, Ney is an adult he should have this much sense to understand that they are partying everyday because thats not a big deal for them even if their body becomes unhealthy no one will care because they are not the ones being paid millions of dollars to maintain a good health or routine and go on that field to score for the team. Its him. So let them do whatever they want but he needs to maintain a life away from them.
@Julie D I agree with you he should be the best player in the world right.However Neymar getting upset for the defeats he has faced in his career makes no sense to me when he’s playing video games and not working hard enough off the field he needs people to stop telling him that he has done well(mean while he’s been underwhelming for the past 5 years).They should tell him that he needs to do better.There’s no excuse for Neymar anymore even Mbappé is doing better than him despite playing in the “farmers league”.As you said Neymar is man enough to make his own decisions if anything he’s at fault for why he’s in the situation he is right now
You just sumarized everything I always think about. Their team are the best but only when they play without pressure

People also keep saying it’s hard for Neymar to achieve individual awards because of Messi and Cr7 but are people forgetting that Benzema won the Ballon D’or.There is no excuse for Neymar as much as I like him as a player he’s should be right now the best in the world (with the talent he has)and he should be having a Ballon D’or you could argue that outside of the people he is associated with he is his own worst enemyHowever in defence of Neymar what world class coach coached him really?
Neymar deserved to have won in 2015, he played more than messi but he didn't win. The reality is that he preferred money to being a champion he had the opportunity to be a champion in 2014. He is great and one of the only high superstars in existence and manages to be a superstar playing at a high level, devid beckam tried and stopped playing, one of the kardashian husbands lowered the level and neymar manages to reconcile two lives
@Penaldo fanboys mald their idol is finished no he didn't
@@adriansilva4675 no he didn't tf?? Playing more doesn't mean you're gonna win. Messi's stats were better so he won
because he dont win world cup yet! why he dont won world cup? because his team sucks 😂 only neymar good
What people don’t know is that Brazil and pele won their 3 world cups in a 12 team World Cup so with today’s competition and the way the World Cup is set up there will never be a single team that dominates like they did again so I think the pressure they have is unfair
thats true, i get the feeling that if brazil hadn't won those 3 all the way back then that brazil now would be having more stars, they were the best and had expectations of the best, not only that but brazil only wins when they have talent thats unfair, i mean look at 2002 and 1994 both those teams were broken, brazil is probaly the country that produces the best talent and produces the most goat potential type players yet in my opinion they underachieve, i mean give that type of talent to argetina and they would have swept through the world cup sense i think they fight more and dont have the expectations of brazil, brazil even with all that talent has not being doing what you would expect for the best country, i mean germany and italy are only 1 world cup away from tying brazil, and even then if Germany do win it lets say next wolrd cup i would have to give Germany the spot for best country sense they didn't win 3/5 world cups back in the old world cup system and they won it with much more talent and everything, they are also the most consistent at winning it, seems like every 20 years they are guarantied to win 1 meanwhile brazil hasn't came that close to winning it in a while
There were 16 teams when Pele played. Small teams were rare back then. Only the best teams played.
Also Brazil won in 1994 when there were 24 teams. Brazil won 2002 when there were 32 teams.
@@sky3down367 Germany with all those glory is having hard time getting past the group stage. So any team can go through rough patch, I think only France stayed as top team even after 2018 win, all teams have declined after winning the trophy.
@@sky3down367 Brazil also has by far the largest population of any footballing nation.
also what most people dont know, in the second Pele WC win in 1962, he actually only played in one full game, the first game because he injured in the second game. Most people don’t know that Garrincha took over that Brazilian team and single handidly won the WC by himself, making the greatest WC performance ever by single player, not even Maradona in 1986 is as good as Garrincha in 1962. I know Brazilian know about this, but most football fans nowadays don’t even know about Garrincha. Just look at twitter, Instagram, its all about “Pele is the GOAT he won 3 world cup” without even mentioning how he only contributed to 2 WC wins and not mentioning Garrincha at all. That Brazilian team having both Pele and Garrincha at the same team is like if Messi and C Ronaldo play for the same national team it was unfair for other teams. The same thing with 2002 WC, people only mentioning R9 while Rivaldo played as good for the whole tournament, if not better than R9. Its unfair to blame Neymar because he doesnt have a team as stacked as the one Pele and R9 had.
Enjoyed ur video bro... nicely made✌️
Thank you 🙏
Excellent video. Brazil was one of the few, if not the only team, that didn't bring a sports psychologist with them. The country is still very ignorant about the help that psychologists can give, specially in a competitive environment. That loss against Croatia was 100% psychological. They were done in their minds before the penalty kicks came in. Weeks later Allison was saving the very goals he let slip during that game. Argentina brought a team psychologist and some of the player themselves, specially Emi Fernandez, brought some of their own psychologists.
If there is a team that need this type of support is Brazil because Brazilian media is so unforgiving and is so critical of their players. Everything they do is judged and microanalyzed. They went to eat at that restaurant owned by Salt Bae and all the Brazilian media talked about for days was how absurd it was for them to eat meat covered in gold. Meanwhile, France, Argentina, and other national teams also went to the same restaurant and their media didn't even notice. Those pictures showed up weeks later in social media with little judgement.
How can you play effectively when you have the media treating you like a God when you score but treating you like shite when you lose? Way too much pressure. Argentina with all those losses of the past, their media always glorified their effort and Messi is still considered a hero. Compare that to Neymar who most of Brazil hates and criticizes. Kind of hard to perform well when you have that amount of judgement. That is why these players are stars in European teams but then flop in the national team.
Brazil expecting too much from neymar alone. They forgot long tike ago ronaldo had kaka ronaldinho adriana carlos rivaldo to win world cup
Sadly its the same in my country. Celebrities are worshipped like gods and constantly get media coverage. They crumble under the pressure

Since 2002, they have collected an Olympic bronze, an Olympic silver, a Copa America silver and a Gold Cup Silver, and three Confederation Cup golds, two Olympic golds, and three Copa America golds.
For 99% of nations, that would be extravagant but not Brazil.
Brazil essentially have the same problem as England pre Southgate; relentlessly unrealistically overhyped, not much fighting spirit, tactics and organization, and are generally less than the sum of their parts.
Difference is that nobody expects from England (other than English media) and still they bottles it. Brazil on the other hand have high expectations in every World Cup because of the talented players and winning it for 5 years
It's was impossible to not hype Brazil after watching they playing and their team on paper.
Imagine this. You are a manager. Your team needs a goal to win.
Would you?:
A) substitute your best player which has scored in the champions league final(Vini Jr.)?
B) Substitute your team top scorer (Richie)?
C) Keep a Winger that has not managed to show good football as part of the beginning squad(Raphinha)?
D) Put a defensive midfielder that is with a lack of better word shi*(fred)?
Well TITE choosed all of the above.
Tite is proud and favouritism. What Fred is doing there . Bruno gumeres sitting on the bench.fabinho on the bench. What Alex Sandro is doing there. Socrates argues that those who think they know and they don't know not. Questioning and answers give you better options
First three options didn't matter, it was D that screwed them, Militao was by far their best defender and he had the speed to cover a whole side of the pitch pretty much by himself, it's not a coincidence that Croatia scored on a counter from that side right after Militao was subbed out of the game.
But then again, i don't think it matters that much because Argentina was just a better team, with more spirit and an actual coach, chances are Brasil would lose in a much more shameful way against them so maybe losing to Croatia before having to face Argentina was better.
@@Daniel-wz3yv yeah sure, they needed no goals
Bruh that’s exactly what I said. I only disagree with rafinha because he’s pretty good he’s better than Antony. But I cold heartedly agree that Fred should have not been put in whatsoever. Dude plays like shit for the national team. You have guys like Fabinho on the bench who can drop back and defend. Or if you don’t trust Fabinhos pace you have guimares. Rafinha had a bad game vs Croatia and should’ve been substituted for rodrygo. That’s the only change they needed. Even then I didn’t think paqueta was playing bad for tite to take him out. He was sending through balls and making plays. He can also defend just tell him not to go upon the last minutes, but if you’re gonna take him out he should’ve put Fabinho so the team could defend. Tite made some stupid ass decisions
When I saw Brazil struggling well into the second half against Croatia, I knew things weren’t gonna go well for them. When Croatia equalized after Neymar scored, it was as if Brazil’s whole spirit fell apart. Expectations + Brazil losing its own style and flair, trying to play European teams at their own game but it’s not the same kind of football DNA that they can fully adapt to.
I still dont understand why brazil called old player like dany alves instead off emmerson royal...brazil has so many young talented player but still using old player...i am brazilian fans and always watching brazil team
Tites favoritism
This video was more of a Neymar video than that of Brazil.
They had no stress this year. They were happy and dancing constantly. Wrong conclusion my man
FRED SUCKS
The dancing is because they believed their own hype. Brazil always has pressure to be the best
this is clase mate please make more
Thank you so much my bro, writing the next one as we speak! 🙏
Theres more to this than what you said, but I do have to agree that the pressure, expectations and the stereotype that the brazilian team cannot be defeated and must win does definitely affect them in a negative way.
I think the same has been happening with The Indian cricket team.
A know it's a football channel but just wanted to express myself.
The Indian cricket team has been loosing from past 8 years and pressure is one of the biggest aspects of it
Thank you for that comparison my bro! I’m not very knowledgeable on cricket but sounds like there’s some similarities there!
@@addictedtwofootball well thanks for replying bro .
And bro there has been a glaring similarity in terms of pressure.
And how the people of respective country look at the respective sport
They are absolutely crazy about the sports every kid wants to follow the same sport.
Many Indian people actually have started calling the Indian cricket team as chokers
Which just completely breaks my heart.
I hope the mental condition and psychologists gain a lot of importance in the age of social media so that both Brazil in Football and India in cricket do well and win trophies
India lacks good Bowling line up
Plus our player don't take retirement easily
Dhoni should have taken retirement after 2016 and pant could have replaced him
Same thing with dinesh kartik
He played this wc T20 and 2019 wc but he don't deserve
Surya debut for india at age of 30 which cost his career
Instead of rahane surya should have played 2016 t20 wc
We lost semi final because of rahane
Humility is what Brazil lacks, they need to play for the team and not themselves and I feel that is not present in key moments for Brazil, just look ate this year's Argentina, everyone was delivering everything all the time, even di Maria played like it was his prime...
Spot on. All I know is that Neymar is one of the most incredible players to ever come out of Brazil. People has no right to judge his business, yes, business decisions. In many occasions the best team loses.
Football is a sport of agony, tension. A low score game where one mistake can cost dearly.
To win a World Cup in its knock out format, a team also needs a bit of luck.
Just so you know, Neymar is absolutely hated by the Brazilian internet(Not the people), but the ones that actually use social media, teenagers and young adults, this hate became exponentially higher with the Presidential election, which he revealed he was in favour of one of the more traditional right winger candidate, it was normal during this World Cup, to see people on twitter, hoping he would get injured, and even saying that "He was doing nothing more than his job" when he played well, it's crazy to think that these people probably killed the potential of a player that could be just as big or greater than R9, Kaka, Cafu, Roberto Carlos etc
This thing that killed England and Pogba. I saw England 2022 WC vs any opponent in livestream. It was about Arsenal vs Spurs, United vs City, City vs Liverpool and so on. The hatred run deep. Even world cup cant unite them. Pathetic fans.
That right wing candidate is a racist scumbag. Can you blame the people's for hating Neymar since he sold out?
@@bangrojai4868 spain managed to unite in 2010 kinda surprising
They expect neymar to perform just like the energy or ronaldo, ronaldinho, kaka, cefu and adriano combine 😂😂
Difference between Brazilian football occurred after changes on national competitions, instead of doing knock-out campaigns where anyone could win the prize (like Leicester done in 2016), they changed and now only the big teams compete in equal matches, the lower teams can't keep the competition and lost. This is not the real problem, the competition could be any other way; But this change created a new way of players to do their game (in mind and football), now instead of fight and play to win and gain the prize, they just play to keep their position in the table/standings. The last generation who experienced the real knock-out era were the 2006 players, after that they're just playing to keep their clubs alive in the highest position in rank (because it gives money to the club and C B F). CBF chooses this way of matches not because it's better for the clubs or for the players, but because, the most matches a club can make, the more audition and money they would get with it, and always, always CBF take profit of those matches. Brazil is not suffering because the players are bad or the coach is not good, but because the way they're prepared to play matches changed to became a profit show and not a football show anymore. (like it was in Pele era and 90's.)
Please do one on England your stories are so good

Tite is no longer the coach of the national team, I hope that someone more qualified will manage my country's national team. I can't understand how this guy brought Fred to the cup and didn't bring Firmino, I also can't understand how he didn't give space to Matinelli, Antony and Pedro (Flamengo player who hit one of the penalties against Croatia and was a monster in our championships) in this cup and made several ridiculous substitutions.
Not sure social media is the excuse you make it. Messi is only 5 years younger than Neymar, 35 to 30 years old and Naymar is days from being 32 years old. Both had social media and CZcams all their careers.
Messi even Maradona annointed him as his successor at 18 years old. You don't get more pressure than that from any nation.Messi literally had the expectations of Argentina behind him, a country that expected one special footballer to be able to bring a world cup to them. Neymar meanwhile always had a strong team around him. Sure both had high expectations, but Messi's for Argetina was more intense and beyond Neymars. Messi was expected to do what Maradona had done and carry Argentina to a world cup win by himself, Neymar was expected to just be excellent and win the world cup. You can't say the expectation or social media problems Naymar had weren't there for Messi.
Neymar has started considering football as a business, it provides him fame, millions of dollars and craze among opposite gender. When he was in barca he played football as a passion. There was this hunger of winning. Messi and Ronaldo have passion for football. Its the only thing that matters to them apart from their families, and that's why they play it with all their might. While neymar is busy DMing girls on insta and flying them to Paris, partying with friends and being a man child not being able to see that his father sees him as a brand and not as a son.
After Ronaldo, Dinho and Kaká, Brazil has a lack of a real idol, so they turned to Neymar to be the one of this era, but he cares to be more like a celebrity than being a professional football player. He's not enough focused. Brazilian football is also outdated in terms of managers, tactical systems and organization.
I disagree. I don’t understand how people are insulting his work ethic, he tries very hard and anyone can see his immense passion for football. His last goal in the worldcup was over-shined by croatias win, Neymar did great and I believe with enough hope and faith in his heart,he plays 10x better in 2026
@@rosa_stars349 he played awful until the goal
@@rosa_stars349 sometime around the 70th minute Vinicius Jr made a great run, passed the ball to neymar and got in position for an easy shot and was yelling for Neymar to pass him the ball back, Neymar instead took the shoot himself from a much worse angle which got blocked immediately and Vinicius got the rebound but it was too late the chance was gone. Had Neymar passed back they most likely would score, the game would not go to extra time, Brazil probably wins 1-0 or scores more on the counter as Croatia gets desperate.
Brazil lost that game cause they wasted all their chances either by being selfish or just absolutely terrible finishing and the only goal they scored was because Vinicius Jr wasn't selfish like Neymar and passed back to him when Neymar made a similar run as the one Vinicius did in the 70th minute.
And now they are putting pressure on Real madrid striker Endrik who is only 16.Brazilians think he is next pele
@@tomatoisnotafruit5670 I agree neymar was awful.very painful to digest this defeat
The 2018 and 2022 team was actually pretty good, they just need to improve their team work more and get used to their nerves. The 2014 was a disarter national team and 2010 was pretty bad too, they didn't even called the best brazillian player to the team in that year.
Brazilian players are too 'Europeanised' now and have lost what made the Brazilian national team unique and so very entertaining to watch.
True
This! Ever since Carlos Alberto Parreira, they abandoned the Jogo Bonito and have suppressed any attempts by players to be unique. That's why love him or hate him, I like Neymar a lot, he's the only one that's trying to break the monotonous mold.
Brazil has lost the culture of what made them unique in the game of foot ball
Now all BMNT footballers play for UEFA clubs to feel heavy burdens during their pro-season, then play national team matches as tiresome.
Yeah there’s probably better Brazilian players playing for the Brazilian league teams. Some of them just don’t get recognized and discovered.
If Neymar wants the World Cup for Brazil, he has to stop two things (a) The exhibition type of play(b) The practice of falling at the least touch with the opponent.
He gets injured a lot that’s how he watch out for himself personally cuz I’m pretty sure he would like to b walking when he retire
@@phillyjackson1680 Like Hazard said "If you don't want to get injured, pass the ball". Neymar does a lot of unnecessary carries, he manages to get past the defenders most of the time, but he wastes chances because of it, and aways get tackled. Even his own father (Who is named Neymar too) said in the documentary i think, he wouldn't get so injured if he passed the ball
Funny you blaming neymar alone. In reality, no other players in Brazil is good as neymar and thats why Brazil fail! Not because of neymar. Old era like 3r and kaka, they had each other to be great and won world cup. Neymar? he is all alone so stop blaming neymar for Brazil failure
There is so much pressure on the players, it’s insane
Look at them, especially Neymar, after they went in front late on in E.T at the WC. Neymar gets the ball on the half way line and is just dilly dallying with it, instead of looking to move the ball around and waste time. And then they dont track their men when they lose the ball. THIS is the problem with this and Brazil teams of years gone by. They just don't have that bite that it takes to push through.

I think it's because a lot of Brazilian players go to Europe early, so they have a European perspective and mentality to football, whilst the Brazilian national coach has a more Brazilian perspective to how the game is played. This obviously creates an ideological conflict. I personally think Brazil need to select a European manager if they wish to get the best out of the players. It may go against national pride, but it's what they need to do. It has long been rumoured that the Brazilian football association want Guardiola as manager
Ancelotti?
Guys im not an expert , but as a brazilian let me share a few thoughts, on what is causing Brazil trouble:
1. Pressure is a key factor of course, the social media pressure is insane on Brazil, every player is expected to be a talented dribbler a good finisher etc, even though most football fans know this is unreal most brazilians who go on ranting on social media don't know this. Also they are attacked in a very brutal manner, in brazil the political situation is pretty divided ( last election was 51-49) , neymar supported the right wing and there were people who would be cheering for him to be injured.
2. Lacking a playmaker, i know playmakers are not popular today but we do not have anyone to link the defense to the attacking side very well, we had rivaldo and kaka in the past nowadays we have a good defense and a good offensive side but no one to connect one to the other, also if you see brazil play its frustrating how we cant create a proper goal chance.
3. Stategy : Brazil strategy is poor , most of our players cant play in proper level or how they should be used in our selecao. Just look at gabriel jesus, we joke here about Tite using him as a CB . We have no tactical prowess . Another example was Lucas Moura in his best years having no opportunity to favor Hulk/Bernard who was never brilliant for our team.
I hope we win,i have a brother who loves football and never saw Brazil win WC, he was crying heartbroken after our loss against Croatia and would want to see we win just for him. And for the comments saying we dont compare with Pele, we do , the media is doing that to Endrick right now
Brazil needs a tank like attacking forwards (Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano even Kaka) who can withstand defenders dirty tactics. Lot of todays forwards are extremely talented but they are way leaner and fall easily even with slightest of push. Neymar is talented but his talent alone wouldn't enough to pass through the whole tournament.
agree! people expect neymar to bring the world cup alone 😂😂
You can't blame the very thing that hyped you up and made you famous as the reason for why you failed to live up to the hype. Neymar built his career on social media and the exposure that comes with it, so to say he couldn't cope with the pressures of social media is no excuse.
Brazil failed because they are too arrogant and aren't serious enough, they care more about their haircuts and dances then they do about winning football matches. they are always favorites ,they always have a strong team, that's all good and all on paper but you still have to go out to the match and prove it every single game.
In this world cup, the teams that really were passionate or the ones who had good results and the big teams that were lukewarm and not 100% focused on their football like Brazil and Germany and Belgium crashed out in humiliating fashion.
Honestly, I’m Brazilian, and even since the 2014 they’re not that good at all tho… specially, the manager and the playstyle. It’s like they’re afraid to even touch the ball. When you take a look at Brazil’s games from, for example, 2002 and backwards, they were way more confident and passionate about the sport.
If Brazil wins the “hexa” they will become more confident and passionate. It will kind of bury the Germany vs Brazil 2014 match to a certain extent. Now, the players needs to fix their psychological issues and partying lifestyle
Funny thing was when Croatia score, Neymar was behind all players screaming to all not to charge . Out loud guys come play defense
the fact that Croatia played a perfect match against Brazil. Juranovic is usually among our worst players on the pitch, but that night he played like Dani Alves in his prime. And when it came to penalties, Croatia had nothing to lose while Brazil had everything to lose, so thats why they lost.
Croatia actually played like dirt in that match, but they did the one thing that Brazil couldn't account for and didn't try to stop: Brazil didn't cut out field switches. Croatia made those passes all day and BRA just let them. Was the most unprofessional display of defense from an international team I've ever seen. I've never PLAYED on a team that sloppy as BRA was in that match.
Romario/Bebeto in 1994 and Ronaldo/Rivaldo in 2002, both times there were doubts about the Brazil team winning it all. 1998 with Ronaldo, the team revolves around him just like with Neymar now and they famously got soundly beaten 3-0 in the final in a shock result.
Yh but 1998 Ronaldo had the seizures morning of the final and that spooked out the team. It was such a mystery for a few years people assumed they took money to lose to France
@@siddharthreddiar3353 True that. But it seems better when Brazil needs to fight as a team and not be expecting to win due to an individual. Even with Pele in the team, Brazil was more a team than an individual. 3 World Cups is testament to that.
Rivaldo also played in 1998!
@@ricomajestic yeah , but Ronaldo was the man everyone expected to lead the team in 98 and he ended up having a seizure.
@@mimid.227 Ronaldo was a young kid only 21 yrs old! Not many players show leadership at that age.
I mean they've won 5 world cups and they get to quarter finals all the time. It's only been 20 years since they won last. Brazils fine lol
Appreciate this great before he’s gone
They also lack humbleness the squad and the fans. Always mocking other teams like when Argentina lost against Saudi Arabia they were singing that Argentina were out. When they haven’t won anything in over 20 years they are still stuck in the 2002 World Cup
The problem is they put more practice in dancing than playing football. That's the problem.
Brazil will be back trust me
in shaa Allah
They will
Hopefully Argentina and Morocco will be back too
No they willnot for a long time. Their player got no winning mentality outside Neymar. Their manager are all one dimension. Starting Paqueta over on form Bruno is unacceptable. Now, who is the real next Brazil superstar after Neymar? Vinicius? Rodrygo? Endrick? None of them got skill like Neymar.
Lol . They will buy not in our lifetime
@@bangrojai4868 You're heavily underestimating Endrick, even though he is only 16 he already plays like one of the best and he will probably be a part of Brazils 2026 national team, Vinicius is also an amazing player who I can definitely see being "the next Neymar". you seem to forget that many of the players in Brazil's national team are Very young with very few experience playing in a stage as huge as the World Cup.
You should also do videos on the downfalls of Germany and Italy!
New video out tomorrow! Worked extremely hard on it, hope you guys love it!
Crazy
They didn't win because of arrogance. So I have lived in Brazil for the last two years now and was excited to be in Brazil for the World Cup and watch them play. By the end of their second group stage game I was already secretly hoping they lost.
Let's start with the team first. They all try so hard to have this auroa of the 2002 team. They think teams are going to respect them because they are the Brazilian team. They think they can just perform a goal show and dance and that its all good.That may work against teams like South Korea, but when a team (like Croatia) will look you back in the eye and hit back, how will you act? They cower at that. This team can't overcome anything in the face of adversity because the mentality of this team is that of a spoiled kid who is constantly told how special he is by his parents and everyone around him. Completely unaware that there are other kids (teams) that never have their talent noticed and have to work even harder for it. The irony of that is some of the Brazilian players grew up quite poor. With a soft mentality like this, you can never win.
Also during my time here, I got to experience the fans. The slogan here was "O Hex Vai Vem" or something along these lines which means the 6th is coming. My time here made me realize that the fans are essentially Dallas Cowboy fans. Who at one point were spoiled with winning and think they are entitled to it. However, the problem is they haven't won in a while but we won't stop talking about the glory days.
In conclusion, I love Brazil and the people here and I respect their National team a lot. However, their play and their attitude was honestly embarrassing. Without learning how to play with some grit, tactics, and character they will crash out like this against equal opponents every time.
I’m in complete agreement with you.
This is straight facts, I’m Argentinian and I’m obviously happy that we won our third, I want Brazil to win the next one, but the only thing stopping them is the mental block that they have. They have four years to get it together, it’s about time South America dominated football again.
The Brazilian team was a team of social media fashionistas facing a bunch of men on a football pitch. The men won. in 2014 was the year of the delusional spoiled teens versus a team of men, they got a reality check. Eight years later, the delusions are still markedly high in the South American football team. Even with all the talent in the world, a warped sense of self/team will forever haunt the squad. At least now Neymar can go bar hopping with Ronaldinho in Paraguay. On the other end of the spectrum, the one facing resilience we have the goalkeeper from Argentina and most of that WC squad. They faced some real challlenges on the way to the top, and rose higher and higher each time -at some points inexplicably so-. There is your difference of mentality and of purpose at play, Naymar busy pretending he matters while players like Benzema, Mbappe, di Maria, Modric and Messi were busy doing the work to give their respective side the best possible chance to advance on that day in that/those match(es). As a Bulgarian I can happily proclaim: Forza Argentina!
Its always like this lol, brazil lose and that is always the reason foreigners give, Romário won a wc being the absolute prime example of a "diva player" Ronaldinho won a wc and ballon d'or being the crazy party animal that he is, while i agree that brazils tactics underestimated croatia we didn't lose because we danced or our confident ways, we danced in 94 and 02 the same way, thats never going to change. We lacked a coach with creativity and understanding of the problems, who insisted on attacking power even if our midfield was overwhelmed, who did almost the same formation every time. To me this just reads like a bitter gringo being bitter, we wont ever stop having confidence in our team or believing in the sixth star, like it or not thats our way, in a sense its a statement, the baila vini movement was a big motive for the dancing.
@@luizgdc4096 man that's a joke. There isn't a player on this brazil team that can hold a candle to Ronaldinho or Romario. Vini jr and Neymar arent even on the level of those two. Ffs what are you on about? If you don't think attitude was a huge reason this team crashed out then you need to understand the mental aspect of sports better. The 2002 team could act like that all they wante because they could back it up. This team can dance like the 2002 team but they sure can't play like them
Argentina hold top european teams like germany,netherlands,france,croatia,belgium,italy better than brasil.
As a bra fan since 2002, brazil failure is due to players attitude and tite tactics. Cro mf is the best in the last 8 and he continues to play the 4141 formation which means brazil lack mf cover and Casemiro is single handedly man marked by Modric. I can't understand what did tite see paqueta ahead of guimares. If guimares started Modric would have a hard time man marking both Casemiro and Bruno, giving neymar more freedom to move along the lines. 2) squad selection by tite. To win the World Cup, your players must have different attributes. Full backs are an issue for brazil but why don't tite picks one inverted (danilo, sandro) and one overlapping fullbacks in this case? Vanderson and Renan lodi (though defensively he is suspect) could have been chosen instead. 3) tite claims to have watch joelinton during his trip to st James park, and he stil thinks Fred is better? When it is apparent brazil lost the mf battle vs Croatia in the first half, joelinton (if chosen) should have been put on to replace raphina and change it to a 442(bruno to replace paqueta). This would give brazil more mf cover vs cro strong mf. 4) lack of quality bra coaches. As much as tite has revolutionised the squad when he took over in 2016, he is not the man to take brazil forward, as his tactics and substitutions are baffling, costing brazil in 18 vs bel and now vs croatia. If only tite was smart in squad selection and tactics, this is easily brazil cup as I believe the team is so much stronger than Argentina
RC6 is very underrated, who played & hustled 100% as 2 way footballer of defense & offense for both UEFA club (RM) & BMNT to captain & win multiple trophies. Greatest 🇧🇷⚽️ player of all time. RC6 >> BR9 & PL10.
without watching the video yet:
Maybe playing a 2v3 in the midfield against a team whose entire identity revolves around having a good midfield and relying purely on star talent could be a bad idea? who knew? If croatia had good strikers the game wouldn't even be close.
Just look at what argentina did against croatia, they changed their formation to use a 4v3 in the midfield. Not only they dominated the midfield, they also had better goal scorers than croatia, so it resulted in a 3-0.
TITE chose to NOT bring a psychologist with the squad btw. even with the pressure of being brazil.
Fifa and the rest of the world may be happy Brazil isn't dominating the world cup, because then other teams in the world get to win the world cup, but if Brazil gets its act together the rest of the world should be afraid if they correct their mistakes.
All the young players will be in their prime in 2026. Only neymar and casemiro will be 34. Everyone else is gonna be 25-29, which marks their peak. They’ll be in better form for the next World Cup mark my words. Finally neymar won’t have to carry as hard either since he’ll have a really talented team relieving some of the pressure. The only weakness they might posses might be the RB and LB position
@@danielcancel2901 I just have this feeling that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will want to play their 6th world cup to go for the world record for being the only players in history to play 6 world cups and that will step up the level of other world class players who may want to follow Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo footsteps including Neymar. It is hard to make it to the national team as you have to make the team and be part of the coach list for the world cup. I think Neymar has the talent to make it to the team in 2026 and 2030 which would be his 4th and 5th world cups. Neymar after Ronaldo is the best player Brazil has produced. The other players are great, but he is the only one who shown the talent of being a major player. Maybe some other very good players from Brazil may come out but, Neymar is the best player in Brazil. Vinicius Junior may be the 2nd best, then followed by the others. Neymar has a strong chance to redeem his reputation and become world champion. Neymar has a chance to be better then Lionel Messi, Crisitiano Ronaldo, Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski, Luka Modric, Erling Haaland, Zlatan among his contemporary best top ranked soccer-football players in the world.
The problem with Neymar is that he isn't fully focused along with very talented players from Brazil men's professional team. If Brazil gets their act together they will return to be world champions and not just be like Belgium a top ranked team in the world who doesn't win the world title.
Problems started when people started comparing Richarlison to R9
also when people started comparing neymar to pele as well in my opinion. fans will take any player who shows that they have even an ounce of great potential and then run it into the ground when they fall short due to pressure.
When my Uncle told me that some of the Brazilian are no longer made the same as back then, he also said a Frederico doesn't play like he's a Frederico but plays as a Frederick \ Fred
Tite definitely, when he subved of richarlison and vini jr I thought okay maybe he got a plan, but when he put pedro in I knew it was over for us, we needed speed and defense, he puts slow and attacking players in, FU tite
Brazil needs a good tactician as a coach. Someone like Ancellotti.
Ancelotti too relaxed, he won't be able to rein in the warped sense of reality for 90% of the brazil squad. Would be a waste of coaching talent to send them Ancelotti. Mourinho would work wonders, especially because he'll teach discipline for the first time in their careers - which is immeasurably important to compete in high pressure situations or on the world stage. I do not foresee a Brazilian team winning another world cup in my lifetime, they are stuck in Clown Football while the world has moved on to Total Football, or Tiki Taka, etc.
Brazilian coach didn’t have a psychologist team to support the players this year 😢
To add to your point, Tite implemented the "modern" tactical approach to Brazil, but was criticised for keeping the tradition of never having a psychologist on the team.
It’s always too much pressure on Brazil's team. but save my words 2026 Brazil will come much stronger, the team will be mature enough to handle that stress.
lol they're going to get knocked out in the quarters against a European team.... Again.
@@Blackmage4001 They just need a coach who have a tactical idea to counter any European nation gameplay.. ARGENTINA HAVE SCALONI...WELL..BRASIL? HAVE TITE WHO LOVE FRED🤣
@@Blackmage4001 ok wait and see.
@@Blackmage4001 naaaah it will be an asian team that will eliminate them. SK or Japan
@@lalalalalala9109 yeah, because asian nations have always historically been good against Brazil right?
Mark my words - Brazil won't get the WC unless 1) benched Neymar and use him as a substitute; 2) find a good European coach. The problem with Brazil is that they do not know how to play as a team. They used to win because individual talents were good enough to win - no national team was really good at playing like a team. But as football develops, how to play like a team has become more and more important than individual talents.
Near is still their best player and he can totally be a team player, they need to focus more on their team instead of having a star thats for sure tho
Yes! Every reasonable football fan agrees a 💯 👏
Right now do a video on the pressure and continued failure of England not
Winning a major trophy at international level.

Means a lot man, thank you so much!
Brazil are always considered favorites for no good reason going into every World Cup. I knew Germany would beat them in 2014 (although I didn't think it would be 7-1); everyone called me crazy. I had a feeling Belgium would beat them in 2018 and if they didn't then France would easily beat them in the semifinals.
I knew Germany would beat them in 2014 because that Brazil team was built solely around Neymar, and when he got injured, the team collapsed against the Germans. But I disagree that Belgium would have beaten them because Brazil only lost that game because they did not take their earlier chances. I dare Belgium to face Brazil now. Whether France would have beaten them would be 50-50 because Brazil actually beat France twice in friendlies before the 2018 tournament, that's why they're among the favorites.
Argentina would have beaten Brazil in 2022 if Brazil won the penalties against Croatia. Hell... Netherlands would have beaten them in an alternate timeline as well.
Their performance and record is the reason. I suppose they crash out of the worldcup, but their record against the teams that win the cup isn't terrible. Who can really tell me that Brazil isn't perhaps alongside France the most talent rich team.
How is england considred the favorite in every tournament, while having the biggest failiures out of all the teams in the WC, they dont have the players, the talent or not even the quarter of brazil's trophies, but people still overrate them coming to every tournament, why is that?
Dude everyone knew most likely Brazil gonna lose that match as they were missing Silva and Neymar. Stop acting like you predicted something unpredictable. Maybe if you predicted Germany crashing out of WC group stages twice in a row or Italy not even qualifying for the WC also twice in a row, that would be impressive.
Brazil just got unlucky.
Argentina also suffered before even though they had the greatest footballer of all time.
Great individual goals, but as a whole team, they lack identity and tactics.
Any team with players that are worried about spending 2 hours changing the color of their hair instead of training and studying their opponent... Deserves to loose
Wheres Roberto Firmino!? Am i crazy thinking he should have been playing for them for a long time?
Too much pressure and they get too cocky. The combination of those two factors make them unable to recover properly when they are losing.
or winning...
