Romario: "Is it true that Neymar called you to suggest that you wear the number 11?"

Raphinha: "We talked about it, and he asked me what my favorite number was, and I told him it was 11, because it's been with me since I was little and because I grew up watching Neymar and Ronaldinho [World Cup]."

Seems like he ran his mouth off too much in some interview and disrespected the Argentinians before facing them. Now better watch out... and get out of there in one piece.

Most Brazilians did comment that they'll win the game. It's refreshing to see glimpses of confidence in that team but I'm afraid they are underestimating the opponent. Currently they are no match for Argentina but if they put enough effort it could really be an intense game that can go either way. Just hope for the best with Raphinha like you said it will be a war zone there so he should be careful.

Romario kinda set him up with the question :busquets:

Brazil winning would be a surprise though, no midfield and joke defense + Vinicius and Rodrygo playing well below their RM version. Not looking good.

Brazil have had a tough time with Argentina under Scaloni which is why they're running their mouth more than usual the last few years. Their first loss ever at home soil in the World Cup Qualification in their history was versus Argentina as well a couple of years ago or so.

Even Romario knows it and wasn't too confident about them beating them :lol:

A bit too stupid by Raphinha maybe. This is probably the kind of thing Argentina feeds off and motivates them even more.

Hopefully certain "Barca fans" won't start disliking Rapha just because he said something provocative about the Argentina NT..........

This is good for the game. Proper rivalry.

Some of the comments of Argentinians under Otamendi’s latest IG post, following Raphinha’s words:
- "With everything today! "
- "You know what to do with Raphinha"
- "I will forgive your red card today, but leave Raphinha a gift!"

He ignited the fire in this match with these comments. With Messi and Ney out it looked as if will be almost lifeless (at least for SA standards) but now I'm excited

Just hope no injury, they'll target his legs has to be careful

If it happens they get Vini instead though then this is 4D chess
