In fact, Brazil is a country where you can always find talent and young players in this country but these players need someone to coach them and guide them to have better performance in the team. Endrick is one of these players.
In the game between England and Brazil, Endrick the young, 17-year-old player of Brazil scored the goal for his team ten minutes after he got the chance to play in this math.
This happened in Wembley stadium and now Endrick is the youngest player who scored a goal in Wembley. It was his first goal for Brazil in his life.
I think Real Madrid should be very happy because Vinicius Junior made the assist for this goal.

The work that Rodrigo Caetano does is a kind of behind-the-scenes management, he is a selection coordinator, for example: his role is all about behind-the-scenes planning, such as scheduling games, training, coordinating meetings, presenting players after they are called up to play... Basically, he coordinates strategies off the field. He performs this role very well and in recent years his career has only evolved.

I'm not considering Belgium among top favourites now unfortunately.    They had this golden generation once when the players were having their brightest era. While they can't even win a championship in this situation I wouldn't expect them to do so in Euro 2024 or World Cup 2026. They just need to show me some good football against big teams in these tournaments to give them a chance.

De Bruyne has started to get injured often recently. Lukaku has actually shown really good effort for Belgium these days with many goals.

But if there is no solid teamwork there is no success anyway...

Brazil have many youth talented players and depend with their manager Dorival Júnior brave or not giving them regular position and playing on the first minutes, last match Real Madrid's striker Endrick success give the winning goal against England and make him self on the name list of youth players scoring the goals for senior teams. International friendly match help Brazil return back to the top FIFA ranking after out from ten top position, in other side Dorival Júnior can give more minutes for youth players to get regular position and will be ready for official tournament such as Copa America and FIFA World Cup matches.
Brazil national team have one match left on international break out, after winning against England last match and three days later will face Spain on friendly match, will Dorival Júnior give regular position for Endrick and some youth players in this match?

Brazilian talent is without any doubt one of the best in world, but recently they are having serious trouble into their team due to lack of leadership with they are not alone we are also having problems in few other teams as well but still things are manageable for them because they are having good system which is producing the best players which are providing services in all around the world which is amazing stuff, but their team's performance need good depth and coordination which is important for having good results in top events.
Now we have new coach which is surely going to have some positive impact, and they won their first game as well against England but still its long way to go for them with having good results in Copa América and FIFA World Cup which are more important if they are able to fix things like this hopefully we will have good change and again them at the top.

Brazil has a lot of good players we can say without a doubt and every national team and club level is filled with Brazilian stars. However, the Brazil team is currently in a very bad position in the FIFA rankings, and their position and style of play can only be attributed to their coach. If there is an experienced coach in Brazil, then they will definitely be in a good position in the FIFA ranking and they will have a chance to win the World Cup. All the Brazilian stars are very popular all over the world and they are currently reigning in the big clubs and Brazil is a strong team and they are the highest World Cup winners. But tomorrow's game against England is really good for Brazil because it's really good for Brazil to beat England in England. The Brazilian star's playing system is fine, but if an experienced coach pays more attention to football, the national team will definitely be stronger and have more chances to win the World Cup.

Yes, it is true that the first match, which was home match, allowed Indonesia to maintain one-goal lead until the match was over. With this victory, Indonesia has indeed saved 3 points and is temporarily in second place in Group F standings.
But in the next match Indonesia will play away against Vietnam and I doubt that Indonesia will be able to play well again or even win, the away match against Vietnam is not easy for Indonesia.
We know that Vietnam is one of the strongest teams in the Asian zone and the away match could result in Indonesia losing or only ending in draw, at least if they fail to win then Indonesia will have to hold draw to remain in comfortable position.

After that Indonesia will play against Iraq and also the Philippines, the most difficult is against Iraq which in this match I would never say there is chance for Indonesia to win.
But in the last match against the Philippines, it was clear on paper that Indonesia had the advantage and Indonesia had big opportunity to get full points.

Rodrigo Caetano is having spot of the director of the national teams with he will be work closely national main team and youth as well even there is nothing specific thing about this spot but mostly are saying he will be having spot near to both teams coaches for the improvement of quality and development of the players as well.
Today we have first game under the supervision of the new coach Dorival Junior and Brazil beats first time England at the Wembley which is impressive start for the coach and team even things were not as they needed, but we have the best thing now youngsters are doing good job and feeling confident which is big change for them and surely things will be more improved in coming days for them.

Belgium is not the strong team that we used to know. They have lost so many quality players due to age and the team is finding it difficult to replace them. Players like Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Kevin De Bruyne, Witsel and Axel Witsel and Eden Hazard are priceless and younger players like Amadou Onana, Youri Tielemans, Leandro Trossard, Charles De Ketelaere, Doku and Openda have not been able to cover the vacuum of these experienced players. Roberto Martínez led Belgium to great heights but the ageing player and internal conflicts in the team led to its depreciation. I also expect coach Domenico Tedesco to replicate the success of Martinez because he still has access to some quality players but his problem will be how to unite the team to enable them to work in a unity of purpose. I suggest that he should use only players who are in form and not select based on name or past glory.  With his experience from coaching RB Leipzig, Spartak Moscow and Schalke the young coach can make a mark with the Belgian national team in the forthcoming World Cup.    

Yes, Dorival Júnior doesn't have a career out of Brazil at all and this has been the same for Brazil's coach choices for a long time. To tell the truth I don't find this policy very healthy for them in the long run. Because these coaches have no idea about how European national teams play. This is a big obstacle ahead of him to prepare Brazil for the World Cup in the best manner. 

By the way I see Rodrigo Caetano who has become "team manager". What do they mean by this title? Is it like an assistant manager or something else? His career is also full of only Brazilian teams.

Gulf is the rich region, but sadly we have no human rights and many other things which bring better things for the common peoples, so things like these were expected with we have huge investments and too much blood in Qatar while they were preparing for the world cup but no one talk about this because we have deep pockets were involved in this all but now as we are heading for the USA which is one of the developed countries in all aspects surely things will be much better and improved which are positive side of this all with they are going to have many new developments as well which will work for the rest of the world as well because we all know USA is doing good development in all fields which are following for the world.

2026 soccer world cup is going to be game changer because first time we will have 48 countries in this mega event and 3 countries will be host which is another huge development and good for the game because in future we will have too many countries will be tried this way and able to share this all.

There is still Euro to be played before this, and of course each continent has their own, and I think that should show the world which teams are doing fine and which are not. I am not saying this will do good or that will do bad, I am just saying it would be too early to call for anything before that cup.

If you see that cup doing fine, then that team most probably will do fine at world cup too. Since there are only few limited spots and only a few will go out of the group stages, and it is such a rare occasion (once every four years) sometimes unexpected stuff happens. Remember the group stages of the last world cup? So many upsets and so many david vs goliath situations all in the group stages, definitely was weird.

Brazil without doubt haven't been as consistent as they're supposed to be considering the quality players the national team and that's why they're below Belgium in FIFA rankings. The reason behind Brazil's poor results is simply because of the inexperience of the coach of the team and not because they don't have the needed quality of players to be ranked as the best team in world football.
Tomorrow evening, they play against the Three Lions of England at the famous Wembley stadium and because the English team will be playing at home, many are of the opinion that Brazil will be beaten tomorrow. I don't have full confidence when it comes to the Brazilian team of how bad their manager have been and I think the best thing the country's football authorities try and get another manager that can handle the Brazil national team perfectly.

In the past World Cup, we saw in Qatar, this country made many sports facilities before the World Cup and they used many workers from the other countries to build the stadiums you saw on TV while many people died for it and there was too much blood in the last world cup however the world cup you saw from TV was very nice and shining for people who watch this tournament. But I think this time they chose America as the main host because they know in America there are much better sports facilities and hosts to host the World Cup in a better way than Qatar, this way America won't need to spend too much money for building the stadiums like Qatar done and they just need repair what they already have in their country.

Well, I have seen that Brazil has not been playing very well in the last few games, they have been losing against teams that I did not believe could win, in fact, they have the best players they have in Europe, they have young promises, and it is presumed that there are one who is told that he is Pelé's successor, but the truth is I don't see him with those eyes, I don't see him doing things as such to deserve that, however now the Brazilian team is in crisis, I think it's also because he has many of his players who have not had much action, among them Neymar, because in the last game that was with Colombia they lost, sometimes this is something that does not look very good.

In fact, it is presumed, it is not certain that Pep Guardiola can lead this team on the way to the World Cup, he is between San Marino and a couple of other teams that are interested in Pee's services, honestly this would change the face of the Brazilian team.

I have good prospects for Dorival Jr as CBF coach for the next world cup, but if it depends on the current players, unfortunately no coach in the world will be able to perform miracles, as a team does not just depend on a coach, a team is a whole cog, and currently the lineups that are being made by the CBF are disappointing us brazilians, great players are left out while old ones are always called up, I won't cite examples of names because there are a lot of players and I don't remember. But I will cite an example:

brazil wasted many chances when they still had a chance of winning a World Cup, a great example of this was in the 2010 World Cup, when they didn't call up players like Ronaldinho Gaucho, Adriano, Ganso (who was playing at a high level at the time) and perhaps even Ronaldo (Fenomeno).

Dorival Jr had a great season at Santos F.C, winning several titles at the time when Neymar Jr was still playing there, so he has a very attractive CV worthy of a national team coach.

Today, at the moment I say that unfortunately we don't have the slightest chance of winning a hexa if we continue at this pace in the lineup, even more so with Neymar temporarily sidelined, although he is often targeted for fouls and frequently getting injured in world cup matches.

And to top it off, in the last ~15 years we haven't had a good harvest, with few stars left like Neymar Jr, Vinicius Jr and Endrick (promising star, but hasn't reached the level of ace yet in my opinion).

A coach like Abel Ferreira, one of the best coaches in the world, would be ideal for the team, but I don't think even he would be able to significantly increase the team's level of performance with the current availability of players.

Actually, the victory against Vietnam on last match its not really impressive with Indonesian team performance, the long throw in helped Indonesian scored one goal trough Egy Maulana Vikri and Indonesian success secure three points. Have difficult for upcoming match away against Vietnam and three points is most important to secure 2nd standings position behind two matches left against Filipina and Iraq seems guarantee will qualify to next round.
Shin Tae-yong have hard work for next match against Vietnam, left fewest points on current position and Vietnam still not close yet their opportunity for finishing on 2nd place if can beat Indonesian team next match. Wish Indonesian can play without pressure and most emotional on next match exactly huge pressure from Vietnam fans will make it difficult for player controlling their emotion.

I really hate this phase of qualy for world cup and more now when we have more spots than ever, and i say this because for example in Asian federation you can still see a lot of games who has 0 value between huge teams and very weak national teams. I look into the last phase when something is decisive.

The Belgian XI is always strong and most of the Belgian players have performed well in the English Premier League or in the prestigious European clubs but this team's team performance and team performance in major tournaments is very poor. The team has not been performing very well in either the Euro or World Cup tournaments for the past few seasons. We expect a very good performance from this team for the size of Belgium. From the goalkeeper to the attacking positions in Belgium, we expect them to beat other teams and win the trophy, but they failed to do so.

Since 2006-2010, the Brazilian team hasn't had a good team, it's been more than a decade... And I have no hope of a good team in the short term, maybe only in the next generation of players (in about 15-20 years).

Brazil tried to follow the way of playing European football, based heavily on tactics on the field and left out all the art of football, dribbling, spectacular plays were in the background. It will take a few years for everything to adapt to the new way of playing, focused on tactical schemes, and it may not even work... only time will tell

The truth is: today European teams are far ahead of Brazil, both in ability and in the quality of executing tactics on the field.
