Brazil back to basics?

Thu, Mar 26, '26 at 6:12 PM

Saw glimpses of yogo Bonito today with Brazil. Coach Angelotti did say he intends to go back to Brazilian style. Brazil lost to one, but I’ve always maintained. I’d rather see Brazil lose with their own style than win ugly.

Of course, the business entity would not agree.

Agreed, just a glimpse of the yellow and blue and there's nostalgia of watching "magic"

Remember that team from the 80s oh my goodness what skill!! todayI saw Brazil return to the back four like they did in the 50s with the Santos duo. There wouldn’t be a problem I saw today is they don’t have players who can handle a ball in tight spaces except Vini. They need a Neymar, but he’s such a f-en head case.

correct. i want to dump neymar for his gen z antics, but the man has a unique set of skills no other brazilian footballer offers, and tbh, the last time we got dumped, that wasn't his fault. in fact if brazil didn't concede that late goal, neymar's opener versus the croats would have been a very strong contender for goal of the tournament

No disagreement there my brother. Messi is the GOAT but nobody, nobody, not even Messi can handle a ball in tight spacies like Neymar. When he’s on a ball and making his moves, it’s football bliss. I am so

angry with him, but it’s a love-hate relationship because I am want to see him one last time.

I hear that Jamaica beat New Caledonia to advance to the World Cup qualifer finals, but - unless I missed it - there's nothing on that here. Instead, there's a 1970s Brazil fanboyism ill-befitting anyone above the age of 12.
