I have a feeling they are saying this for every Brazil team in the last 2 decades and it keeps getting worse.
Love what Rapha did, at least he gave some blood, they would lose either way, they are just not good enough.

It's worse than the Italia 90 team. That team was poor at times and performed poorly but had some good players like Taffarel, Dunga, Jorginho, Careca, Bebeto, Romario This Brazil team has several similarly good players but is currently performing worse.
I can see them getting absolutely scudded by some good teams in the USA. But this is football, we all know struggling international sides can wake up in tournaments.

I honestly think the last time Brazil had a legendary team was 1982.
They've had good teams and top players since then, and won two World Cups. But I don't think you can call the 94 and 2002 champions legendary - not at all. Not on paper necessarily but on style and performance in my humble opinion they're not legendary sides, unlike the 58 and 70 sides. And aforementioned 82 side, who are probably top three teams never to win the trophy, alongside Cruyff's Holland and Puskas's Hungary.
The irony is they probably performed better in terms of entertaining football in 1998 than 1994 and 2002, yet because of Ronaldo's panic attack and Zidane's genius, that is the one they didn't win.

He's made a right tit out of himself. If you talk like that you got to make sure you don't end up on the receiving end of a historic Super Classico humiliation.
Think he is letting the role of a leader go to his head a bit. Not that what he said was leadership. It was more akin to ViniJr levels of clownery.
Lol.

He really shouldn't have said that before the match lol hopefully he takes that pain in and lead Barca to the treble
What pain? They lost one of the qualifier matches. Away at Argentina.

Never fun to lose bad in a big rivalry match.
It's similar to losing in el Clasico in a La Liga match.

Humiliation against their biggest rivals, after trash talking them?
First time brazil concedes 4 goals in a qualifier as well.
Have not lost this badly against Argentina since 1959.
Don't think they care that much. This Brazil is not on the same level as most of their previous squads.
Don't know, I just don't see it as tragic.
