South America qualifiers

Brazil need to beg Tite to return.
He was their best NT Coach in ages. Sure they didn't win the WC, but the closest they got to ever winning it and also playing well was under him.

Tite was overrated, but if they don't get a foreign manager, he is indeed their best bet

Still, this is a very mediocre generation of Brazil players on many positions.

True but muuuch better than this level of football can be produced

Their best shot was Ancelotti. Maybe they can get Mourinho in, but who knows if it's a good idea.
I think their issues with their federation will scare a lot of foreign managers.

Don't think Ancelotti is that good of a fit for what they need. Still much much better than that Dorival guy.

The fullbacks are local players, GK plays in KSA (and was in Brazil before), CB is Murillo playing his first ever international (and he has never player a CL game or even European competition)

This is 4/5 totally inexperienced and fairly mediocre defensive unit.

If they get a full team, some players get more experience, and a good coach, they can compete and still be a contender. They have the attack, CB, and GK and even some midfield talents, to build a decent NT

Simeone goal on debut hah

Adequate people don't care about “football” at the national team level.
It's a different sport.
It's the worst thing about football.

Likely speaks more to my less enthusiastic following of football than when younger, and my increasing ignorance of the world game, but Brazil have players playing for them I have never heard of.

Who is Wesley Franca? @Messi983

Ignorance isn't something to boast about, but I swear most of these guys would get nowhere near Brazil teams of old.

 

[Barcaman]

Fell asleep in 2nd half but seen a hungry Argentina (despite already qualified).
If they can maintain this passion they"LL have a good chance for another Word Cup win

 

[soul24rage]

I would love it if Venezuela qualifies to their 1st ever World Cup

The state of Chile. Not long since they had a golden generation.

South America is the hardest WCQ on Earth

By far.

You don't have any Latvia to score 6 goals against.

Everything is earned

RB from Flamengo, quite highly rated and linked to several big clubs including Barca and Liverpool. Not watched him much but plan to follow Brazilian Serie A more this season for Vitor.

Didn't look too good from what I've seen but tbf wouldn't make too much out of his (or anyone's reallly) performance in this poorly managed Brazil side against the best team in the world.

The state of Chile. Not long since they had a golden generation.

Really sad.

Good video explaining what's going on in Chilean football.
