Brazil are still finding their feet, but I really believe they will beat Paraguay today, given Brazil's history of beating them and the current form of the Brazilian team. I hope Vini Jr wants to play today and that our midfield is more resilient than in last week's match.

Honestly, I don't see the squad being very strong. It's true that they have some players who are very popular with the big teams in Europe, such as Vinicius Júnior (who hasn't scored many goals for the Brazilian national team), Rodrygo and Alisson Becker. But the rest of the players who started Brazil's last game are not very popular with the big clubs. Honestly, I don't see the squad being very strong.

Colombia - Argentina

This will not be an easy game for Argentina who will not be able to count on Messi who is injured, they will also no longer be able to count on Di Maria who has retired, in the last games in which Argentina played against Colombia they had a lot of difficulty in scoring more than 1 goal, so it is more likely that we will see a draw.

Dorival Junior is completely incompetent when it comes to national teams. For a long time, he was the coach of the team I support (Flamengo) and throughout his coaching career he never had any relevant role in a long-term job. The vast majority of times he stood out was by taking over another coach's job that was already in progress... so a team with no standard of play, questionable call-ups, lack of spirit... all of this is the coach's fault... a well-adjusted team with a defined standard rarely has problems beating weaker teams, as in the case of Ecuador.

I have complaints about Brazil's coach's match strategy. Also there are many weaknesses in team selection. Brazil should definitely keep players in the squad who have performed well in recent times. But Brazilian management does not do this.
A few days back we saw Brazil keeping Rodrygo in their squad. Rodrygo is talented but he was not in good form at the time. Again, Raphinha has found a regular place in Brazil's squad despite not being in form. But Raphinha is in good form now but he did not get a place in the Brazil squad. Moreover, in the crucial match of the Copa America, the Brazil coach kept the inexperienced Endrick in the important position of his squad. Brazil's performance is not stable because of such small mistakes.

Brazil's squad is very strong. And all the renowned clubs in Europe have Brazilian players. Each is performing regularly with an experienced squad. But with the Brazilian squad, almost all of them performed poorly. I definitely blame the Brazilian coach for this.

You are right, for now Brazil has squad filled by great European players and they are players from several big and strongest team for European football, but unfortunately the players are still less experienced in defending Brazil and for the Copa America indeed Brazil cannot perform consistently.
It just that their appearance in the Copa America should be learning to be able to play better in the World Cup qualifying round which they must now live to be able to qualify for the next round.
In the match against Ecuador we all saw that the Brazil core players were used plus the advantages of home games so as to make predictions for Brazil to win big, but they were only able to dominate the game and could not win big victory.
For Raphinha himself, it is quite unfortunate that he cannot play in this match, but as striker with Brazil also shows that Raphinha is very rarely playing and so far he quite often not included in the main squad for every important Brazil match.

I know Brazil management has never been interested in foreign coaches. They don't want to give the credit of the team's achievements to any foreign coach. This is why Brazil management does not want to hire foreign coaches.

But at the moment, the situation in Brazil is very bad. And I don't see any Brazilian coach who is doing well. Brazil's current coach Dorival Junior is not an experienced coach. He has not been very successful with any of the clubs he has coached before. And Brazil's overall performance is also poor now, with Dorival's help. So if the Brazilian management wants to improve the players, they have no other option but foreign coaches.



I am thinking the same. Raphinha has been excellent with Barcelona this season. He scored three goals and two assists in 4 matches. More importantly, Raphinha was instrumental in Barcelona's overall performance in almost every match. When this player is in good form, why is Raphinha not included in the squad? We can see the deterioration of Brazil's football because of some such bad decisions. However, this squad is very strong.

If Brazil is ambitious to perform well in the next World Cup, they must change the coach. The performance shown in the current Brazil game is very easy to anticipate by the opponent. I think if Brazil has a better coach than Dorival Junior, with the squad that is in the current Brazil team, I am sure they will perform better in the next World Cup. Brazil has indeed shown the instability of their performance. They lost to Spain and drew against America, and even in the Copa America Brazil managed to be held to a draw by Costa Rica and Colombia.
if they want to improve I think it's not too late. but they really need to get an experienced coach.

In my opinion, the Brazilian Football Federation will not hire a foreign coach, because that would probably give the foreign coach too much authority when it comes to choosing players. I don't want to accuse the federation here, but I think it's very strange that some of the players they call up are called up. For example, in the last game against Ecuador, they only managed to score 1 goal. But they didn't call up the following players:

1 - ) Raphinha = this season he has been a very effective striker, in 4 games he has already scored 3 goals, he plays for Barcelona, ​​which is a great team. But he wasn't called up. It's true that in the past games he was called up, but that's where the problem lies. He was called up when he wasn't performing well at Barcelona, ​​but now he's performing well.

2 -) Malcom = this season he has been a good striker, even last season he plays for Al Hilal, but since it is a Saudi Arabian team, he will not be called up

My point is that Brazil has many good players, but they always call up the same people even when they are failing

I agree with you. Brazil should definitely look for an experienced coach. And that's what Brazil should do this year if they want to do well in the next World Cup. Brazil should start preparing for the World Cup right now. Because the overall condition of their squad is very shaky. We couldn't be happier with their performance. Most of the matches we see poor gameplay from Brazilian players.

I am fed up with Brazil's new coach's training and match tactics. I don't know how he builds his squad. Brazil played against Uruguay in the quarter-finals of the Copa America. This team was very strong. In this match, the Brazil coach put 17-year-old Endrick at the center of his attack. I don't know why he kept an inexperienced player like Endrick in the center of his attack.

Brazil coach should be more conscious in team formation and match strategy selection. If he can't do it then Brazil management should definitely look for a new coach.

Brazil management was never interested in foreign coaches. And we can see this from a long time ago. Brazil has always preferred Brazilian blood in the selection of coaches. But now they must look for a foreign coach. And of course finding an experienced coach. In the last World Cup and Copa America we have seen poor performances from Brazil. Such a plight of a strong team like Brazil is not desirable at all. The fate of Brazil must be decided quickly. If not, we will not see a good performance from this team in the next World Cup. Brazil have no chance of winning the World Cup with DOrival Junior. He has not been able to stabilize this team yet.

We can already see in these results how variable each of these matches can be, even Argentina's 3-0 against Chile, which shows that the Chilean team is having a hard time in the generational process, Brazil gets the victory but it is a tight one and Venezuela disappoints, Peru gives up a point against Colombia, loses two points at home which in this confederation is vital.

You are absolutely right, in my opinion Chile's football level has dropped a lot, but of course they faced an Argentina that is very motivated, as far as Colombia's football is concerned I see it as very high, and when they face Argentina on Tuesday it will be very good because the good thing about Colombia is that they are not afraid at all, quite the opposite, they have a unique desire to play Argentina and that is the good thing about these qualifiers , with respect to today's match with Peru, I think Colombia will win without problems.

In my opinion they are weak, in the past, something like 10 years ago they were really strong. But currently they are very weak. Although they have many good players, that is, they have players with great talent and who play well in European teams, but as a team they are weak. To get an idea of ​​what I'm talking about, yesterday's game only didn't end in a draw because the Ecuadorian player is very bad.



If the Ecuadorian player had a little talent, he would have been able to score a goal in that situation and the game would have ended in a draw. Meanwhile, Brazil had few clear opportunities to score goals, which shows a weak attack. Ecuador was playing disastrously, to the point where the Ecuadorian goalkeeper was making bad passes and the defense was doing the same. Even so, Brazil did not score more than one goal. The Brazilian players are more focused on making meaningless dribbles to appear in the press.


I have also said that the solution would be to bring in a foreign coach. But it seems that there is a bad perception about this subject. For example, doing a little research on why the Brazilian national team does not have a foreign coach, I was shocked by Rivaldo's statements 2 years ago.

Today Dorival Jr. is the national coach and how is the Brazilian national team? bad

It was an impressive performance by Argentina and with such team, I think they will still dominate the South American football because neither Brazil nor Uruguay is showing any sign of being as formidable as they are. Chile used to be a serious team but how Argentina was able to humble them is something commendable.

However, Columbia is know to be very stubborn against big opponents so I don't think they will be a work over for Argentina. Columbia have not lost any match despite that they drew with Peru. So, I believe it will be an interesting match between them and Argentina tomorrow.

Although Brazil's players have dominated various club footballs, the status of their national team is not very promising. CONMABLE 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier Brazil beat Ecuador 1-0. Currently, their performance does not match with the name. Their fall from the last World Cup is easily visible. Although Ecuador is a good team but it was natural to expect a win against them on behalf of Brazil. But the doubt did not stop in the whole match. If Rodrigo had missed that short in 30 minutes into the match, Brazil might not have won the match. I would have been satisfied if they could have scored two goals in this match but that didn't happen. However, Brazil loss in Copa quarter-final in tiebreaker against Uruguay and a three-match loss in World Cup qualifying portray major criticism. A win for Ecuador will be a bit of a relief for them as they recover from that situation.

Once again the results have surprised us, after the 7th round, this is the updated table

Brazil beat Ecuador, but it wasn't what I expected, it was 1x0 but there's still a lot of work to be done for Brazil to play well
Bolivia incredibly won 4x0 against Venezuela, but it's debatable, because they played at altitude which helps Bolivia a lot

Only Argentina maintained their favoritism and didn't give Chile a chance

Argentina won 3-0 against Chile. I'm feeling they performed far better than what they did in Copa. They looked so much better in defending, pressing and ball winning. They're massively improving. I think dybala was MOTM in this game, this was because they looked so much better when he came in.

It feels like Dybala got magic after he wore Messi's number. He has to start in the upcoming game against Colombia. I think they can beat Colombia easily as long as they can still perform at the current rate.

We've seen this kind of wobble in the Brazilian team over the years. It appears that if they play well in one match, they are playing poorly in five matches, that is, they are not able to perform consistently. Brazil performed relatively well in today's match between Brazil and Ecuador. We can't remember the last time we saw a Brazil team dominating the opposition and the team we are currently seeing is in no way comparable to the previous Brazil team. Brazil are trying to find themselves again, but they are failing again and again. CONMABLE 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier points table, Brazil moved up two steps to number four after defeating Ecuador. Although they defeated Ecuador in this match, their points table situation is not very comforting.

Brazil team is very strong. Even then, this team was at the sixth place in the points table. Brazil are now fourth in the table after their win against Ecuador. However, this team has the potential to be in the top two of the table. Brazil has a lot of talented players in their squad but they are not able to perform well. I would say the Brazilian coach is not experienced enough. And the coach's match strategy doesn't seem good to me. Brazil should look for a foreign coach now. However, the Brazilian management has always relied on the domestic coach. But Brazil won't be able to win the World Cup with Dorival Junior. He has not been able to stabilize this team yet.

Brazil has a lot of star players in its squad. Almost every player in the squad is linked to the biggest clubs in Europe and earn high wages. But the problem is, even though these players can perform well with the club, the performance of the players with the national team is very poor. "In the Copa America, we saw a very erratic performance from Brazil's players. And yet I see no way to say this team's performance is too strong.

Ecuador was not a strong opponent. However, Brazil won the match by a narrow margin of 1–0. Still, I'd say Brazil's current state is shaky, so a narrow win in this match is enough for them. And Brazil is happy with this victory.

I don't know why the Brazil coach doesn't include Raphinha in his squad. Raphinha is a very talented player. The Brazil coach could have given Raphinha a chance in Henrique's position. However, Brazil management has many internal problems. Maybe the coach is not good about it with the players. This is why Brazil coach Dorival did not keep Raphinha in the squad.
