It's hard to imagine they look at him and say "we are facing a low block and need to win this in open play... I know.... Pereira!!!"Andreas Pereira being a sub for Brazil in a major QF is dark
He’s the third best Brazilian at Fulham
To promote his illustrious rap careerClint Dempsey seems to absolutely hate being on TV.. why is he doing this?
Awful game.. Uruguay probably slightly less awful .
Great staredown there from Luiz... intimidating.
Having scored 2 goals in 4 games. Gareth Southgate's Canadian cousin the manager by any chance?Canada made it further then Brazil at a tournament....Wild to even say out loud
The cautious one and Marsch should not be confused. Canada have created chances every game and attempted to play on the front foot despite having less talent than England. Marsch has picked a system that plays up to the squads strengths and tries to hide the weaknesses. The professor of caution has designed a system to render all of his top players virtually ineffective and they hope for moments of magic by individuals. Should have been out in the round of 16.Having scored 2 goals in 4 games. Gareth Southgate's Canadian cousin the manager by any chance?
Those were times when some rando from Wolverhampton wasn't even fit to shine the players boots. Now they are starting him.There used to be a time when Brazil would’ve punished Uruguay on the scoreboard in a game like this.
Sad how far Brazilian football has fallen.
Not the same thing. Canadians with a ton of chances (even against Argentina) but they finish like Darwin NunezHaving scored 2 goals in 4 games. Gareth Southgate's Canadian cousin the manager by any chance?
Their football is broken. It seems like having every single talented Brazilian player leave for Europe when they turn 18 has now started to have negative results all over the place. Their league is ridiculously bad and these European based players are not elevating the national team either.For decades Brazil used to have the best fullbacks/wingbacks in the world, why has that pipeline dried up now?
They still have good young forwards and some good enough CBs and keepers, but fullbacks seem to be a problem area. Midfield isn't anything special either, but you call it passable.
Neymar has been a flop for Brazil though. They never won anything with him. He was way more of a distraction than a difference maker.Their football is broken. It seems like having every single talented Brazilian player leave for Europe when they turn 18 has now started to have negative results all over the place. Their league is ridiculously bad and these European based players are not elevating the national team either.
Look at the current roster and the age they left for Europe:
1 GK Alisson 24
2 DF Danilo (captain) 21
3 DF Éder Militão 20
4 DF Marquinhos 18
5 MF Bruno Guimarães 23
6 DF Wendell 21
7 FW Vinícius Júnior 18
8 MF Lucas Paquetá 22
9 FW Endrick 18
10 FW Rodrygo 18
11 FW Raphinha 20
13 DF Yan Couto 18
14 DF Gabriel Magalhães 20
15 MF João Gomes 22
16 DF Guilherme Arana 21
17 DF Lucas Beraldo 20
18 MF Douglas Luiz 19
19 MF Andreas Pereira 18
20 FW Sávio 18
21 FW Evanilson 21
22 FW Gabriel Martinelli 18
24 MF Éderson 23
25 DF Bremer 21
26 FW Pepê 24
Having a mega talent like Neymar will mask a lot of flaws but hoping for a generational talent to fall in your lap is obviously not a long term solution to these issues. They would need to a find a way to ban Brazilian player from leaving the country until the age of 25 or something to revive their league and their football. Easier said than done obviously.
