    90 minutes and we had 2 shots on goal. One a scuffed header from a corner that went miles wide and the other a shot from a direct free kick. We couldn’t create a single chance to shoot from open play in 90 minutes.

    And by the way, the last 2 games we also created nothing and only scored one goal from a corner in each game.

    In 7 games since the world cup, we’ve lost 3, to Marroco, Senegal and Uruguay.

    This is one of the most (maybe the most?) pathetic sequence of games I remember seeing from the national team.

    First loss to Uruguay friendly or competitive since July, 2001

    First World Cup Qualifying loss since September, 2015

    I hate to be that guy, but I’ll have to be that guy: Diniz has a Libertadores final in less than 20 days, it could be the biggest title of his career and Fluminense’s history. How dedicated is he to the NT right now?

    I mean, it’s not his fault, it’s CBF president for hiring him.

      Wait, Diniz is actually doing the Football Manager ‘manage club and country at the same time’ thing in real life? I didn’t think I’d ever see that lmao, it’s so clearly a bad idea. Why did the Brazilian Football Confederation accept it?

      After watching both games, I’m inclined to agree. I don’t see anything of substance when the players are on the field. This is like a part-time night job for Diniz.

    I’ve never seen Brazil play so mediocre, and I’m old… Not the Brazil I know. I hope they return to their usual soon.

    That’s genuinely one of the worst performances from Brazil, ever. 1 shot on target, and the entire team looked clueless.

    Drop Marquinhos and Casemiro, play a midfield 3 of André, Guimarães, Paqueta to not get overrun, and play attackers based on performances for the Seleção, not for their clubs. Martinelli/Rodrygo should be ahead of Vinicius for the LW (who has been nothing short of abysmal), and Raphinha is the nailed on the starter for the RW.

    Neymar continues to carry that attack, and now he’ll be out for months. That game against Argentina might be embarrassing if things don’t change.

      Raphinha is literally the worst winger we have by a mile.

      Martinelli had one game to try to do shit and guess what we lost to fucking Cameroon while Vinicius was our best attacking player during WC.

        Vinicius was our best attacking player during WC

        yeah, he really made the difference in the WC, we wouldn’t have done it without him.

        Vini Jr is the better player, but he is a shadow of himself playing for Brazil with these tactics, Martinelli overall had more impact every time he was on the field, and that was true for the last game as well.

        Lmfao you clearly didnt watch that WC game. Or at the very least remember it. Martinelli was the only person doing things that game.

    Tabarez lost all his matches against Brazil with embarrassing results. It turns out Uruguay had good players all along and should have been playing these kind of matches as a big team. Yes, this Brazil is weak, but results against Brazil and Argentina during Tabarez tenure were embarrassing, the guy was phobic when he had to face the other south american giants.

    Colombia looks bad, Brazil looks worse, we’re about to see what their attack line looks like without Neymar for an extended time now
