When is FIFA going to implement the cronometer? this is getting ridiculous, added time basically is not being played any more. btw terrible performance but it just grinds my gears
Ive been saying this for a while, but he hasnt quite found his footing with the national team yet. He has small flashes here and there but it just hasnt clicked at all.
Dinizism is fucking our midfield tbh. As much as I'd love for it to work for Brazil they're just not adapting fast. I think Vini just needs some games under his belt after coming back from injury to be back to 100%.
Now that's just hating, lmao. Venezuela wasted a shitload of time and he ended the game before he should, but we just shouldn't have let the game get to this point.
It’s preposterous how some players have been able to get comfortable in thinking they’ll always get called up
CBF must have agreements with agents or something, because some calls are frankly bizarre, and I can't understand why Diniz would call some, when himself have no bond to them
A lot of players in the team aren’t getting picked on their current form, it’s almost the entire core from Tite’s cycle too. Richarlison is in terrible form, Cunha is not that different when it comes to his finishing, Jesus has been playing well but that hasn’t translated to the NT in the past, still might be the best shot at CF of those three atm.
Casemiro is way below his level if you look at how good he was last season even, just a really sudden drop, Marquinhos is in something of a similar spot. Danilo is alright but will likely be too old by the next WC comes up. From the players playing in the Brazilian league it’s also like that, Veiga and Gerson haven’t been playing close to their best.
It’s preposterous how some players have been able to get comfortable in thinking they’ll always get called up when there are probably others more deserving of it atm.
Brazil thought they would win this game whenever they wanted, they have to stop being this preposterous AND STOP CALLING RICHARLYSON, HE BARELY DESERVES TO START FOR TOTTENHAM, LET ALONE BRAZIL.
People want Neymar dropped when he was (again) the best player in the game
I'm so fucking happy. Only the third game but that's an amazing point to get. I was hoping we wouldn't concede more than 3 before the game. We can do this 🇻🇪
Diniz playstyle is very up and down. I dont know if it is suited for a national team where you practice so little. Also, its a very high risk style since you are exposed a lot to counters.
Brazil are so heavily reliant on Neymar still. Other stars like Vini and Rodrygo just have never performed like Neymar has for the national team. Vini in particular has been pretty terrible compared to what we know he can do.
Sadly Copa America is still 9 months away, because if it were played today I have no doubt Argentina would be the number one candidate and most likely to win the cup by a reasonable margin.
Taking a step back and comparing to other cycles, there are always periods during which Brazil dominate possession but fail to break through against minnows.
With Tite the biggest differences were that this phase didn't happen until later (instead, he started out on a big winning streak), and that the defense felt so secure.
Of course, that doesn't make it any better. Tying at home is always a disappointment. It's just not unprecedented.
Gerson in for Bruno, Venezuela equalize lol. Didn't watch the match so maybe Bruno was shit and Gerson great but scorewise it's funny imo (because Marseille supporters believe(d) that Gerson is better than Paqueta)
If that was the case you could argue that since Diniz is an interim that doesn’t really have the resumee to fit the size of the job, if CBF told him to not rock the boat on who gets called then he doesn’t really have much to throw against it considering he’s disposable in the position
Now this is the Venezuela that I actually wanted to see all this time. We didn't back down after that first goal, everyone kept focus, we EQUALIZED, and made them sweat and lose their temper only by playing good fútbol. Mano, tengo fe. Extremely proud of my boys.
Rincón played so much better today, Alexander González has controlled every game, Soteldo was a joy to watch and Bello, well... wonderful.
Folks are gonna blame solely Diniz because his experimenting is obviously what catches the most attention (specially with how amped up some folk in the media are with Diniz in an age where a adversarial relation with the media is widespread), but, holy fuck, how bad were the individual performances.
