@@r9trstvr9trstv71 People who play good in world Cup often are still good in CL, people who play good in cl, often don't perform in world Cup. I mean logically it should be pretty clear which is the better competition. If nothing else viewer count speaks for itself. Cl final can't even match up to random games of world Cup. Forget games like world Cup final which has nearly 40 times the views of cl final. That statement that CL is bigger than world Cup is just insane mate. I am not throwing shade on Vini though. Anyone can have off game plus current Brazil is kinda a broken team. No proper manager, no real no 9. Also people don't realize that Vini/Haaland/etcare not like Messi or cristiano. These are normal players. Good among normal players but still not one man army like those 2. People expectations are too exaggerated.
They left out one key comment about Italy… Italy ALWAYS have dramatic qualifications/advancements into tournaments. They usually don’t win with large margins, quite the contrary. Yet they still manage to win tournaments, so this is NOT new about Italy at all, very typical actually. Look at their history. Never count them out!!
USA is about middle class. Brazil since 2023 has been the absolute WORST nation in soccer! They are pitiful! And I can safely say Brazil WILL NOT qualify for the 2026 World Cup!
@@pedrocosta2183 Brazil will most likely not make it this time. Just watch! My Brazilian buddies in Florianopolis and Sao Paulo are telling me the same thing.
You’re “not sold on Italy as a good team”?? 🙃 Italy is a good team. The problem is they come from such a successful and decorated history and football program, the expectations for them are always sky high. You know how hard it is to be constantly compared to Buffon, Totti, Pirlo, Maldini, Del Piero, Cannavaro, Nesta, Chielini, Bonnuci, Baresi, and Baggio? Just to name a very few. I mean, dude, come on, they’re still at least a good team. If he’s serious, this guy has absolutely no business commenting on football teams.
Good point, but English and American commentators always hate on Italy, no matter what players they have. Even when they win convincingly, there's an excuse they got lucky, paid off the refs, or the other team made mistakes, etc.
@@jinc311 You’re 1000% correct. Whenever Italy wins, they always make up some excuse as to why it was just a “fluke” or “luck,” or the refs, or "they should've done better," or some other blah, blah BS. Always. I mean, if they don't win 100% of their games, and by a margin of 3-4 goals, then "iTaLy iS GarBagE." A win is a win. They win because they’re a good team. Italy has always had HIGHLY defensive hard-nosed tough scrappy wins throughout their entire football history. That’s their brand. They put tons of pressure on and never give up. Period. Even with their goal yesterday, some were saying “it was luck.” 🙃 I mean, by that logic, then every goal is “luck,” because that was a HIGHLY elite and skillful play by Calafiori and Zaccagni. No “luck” involved there. They just happened to score it with almost no time left. They fought hard to the end and then scored. Period.
Let's be honest, even in their losses to Belgium in 2018 and Croatia in 2022 Brazil was the better side. What is lost, is a total domination, but football has changed. U cannot dominate in all aspects. Not even France or Germany can do it. But Brazil needs a better coach, a European guy.
Context for "Small brains": played on a small - really small - & crappy field - embarrassingly so- against a historically tough opponent who pressures the ball makes for a tough battle. Big win. 3pts. 🇨🇴 "Not impressed" foh. Bucaros!!!! 🔰Hp
To me the main issue is that past generations of players used to play at the beach and futsal, they developed in the barrios and clubs in Brazil learning Jogo Bonito, now they go to Europe so young and never learn that, they catch European fads etc... It's sad to watch.
European countries have always been better per capita at soccer than Brazil. Brazil has almost triple the population of Germany. Dumb poor person cope.
I don’t care if the ref was against Brazil , I don’t care if Costa Rica parked the buss …is not acceptable for Brazil to tie against an opponent like Costa Rica ..as simple as that
He does good in Real Madrid because of the talent and manager around him. In the Brazilian national team he has no help from the midfield and a manager that knows very little about soccer! Dorval is just there to hold the chair of Ancelotti (for if and when Ancelotti decides to manage this terrible group of players).
@@deviarnaz2625 GTFOH!!! Did you watch UCL this year?

Vinicius did not win UCL by himself. Go watch the games again!
Lalas is trying to get the big Brazilian population in the US to watch their terrible team play!

10:06 lol penalty really lol. I love you Lalas (all due respect) and love Brazil but what we’re missing are consistent refs. I think the ref did great. Fútbol is a tough sport, this generation of futbolers need toughness with finesse.

How would you grade Brazil's performance against Costa Rica?
The worst Brasil in history, they looked like England and even England would have beaten Costa rica, or not.
Ronaldinho wasn’t wrong to say how Brazil lacking I mean Brazil has to beat Costa Rica no excuses
Ronaldinho stated what the fans said , it wasn't not his opinion
Very good performance but Costa Rica played with 10 players in there own half & just defended all game Costa Rica had zero shots on target

Ronaldinho said it Before Brasil played their first game so it shouldnt be a surprise for those who hadnt seen Brasil’s recent games in wc qualifiers.
Everything is wrong with your comment.
Ronaldinho rant was a publicity stunt.
Other coach was in charge of Brazil in those qualifiers matches.

Tell that to the Italians that call it calcio. Different cultures exist bigot.
