Despite its bad phase, brazil has won 5 World Cups, but if its football doesn't improve or evolve in line with European football, it could be overtaken by Germany or Italy, which are the only nations behind brazil in terms of number of World Cups won.
Does Brazil rely on its national league to produce their best players? I though most of them are playing overseas. I don't remember where but I read that country like Brazil or African countries in general improve their national team quality by making it easy for them to play overseas, hence why they don't focus on national league etc. I think this strategy works to some extent, hence why some countries also focuses on nationalizing players or sending their players abroad. That being said, it doesn't matter if their national infrastructure is still terrible. CMIIW.
Footballers play a major role in Brazil's economy. At the moment, the Brazilian team is considered the most expensive team in the world. And while Brazilian players perform well for different clubs, when they are put together when they play for a team, I don't know why we don't see good performances from them. It is very likely that when a team has multiple players in the same position, it becomes difficult for the manager to select the team and this results in poor team performance. You say they should play European tactics, where their team's starting eleven players as well as all other players play in Europe, what new tactics do they have to teach them. Brazil players definitely need an experienced manager otherwise we will not see good performance from Brazil team.
Yes that's right we see several Brazil team players playing in different clubs around the world who are constantly performing well there. Currently playing for Real Madrid club, Vinicius Junior who has been performing exceptionally well is even a worthy contender for the Ballon d'Or. Apart from him is Barcelona's Rafinha who scored the first hat-trick of his football career a few days ago. They have performed well in every match in the club level games but their performance has been shaky when it comes to the national team. The only way for Brazilian footballers to get out of this situation is that they need a competent leader i.e. a competent coach who will reshape this team and bring it back to a strong form.

Brazil legend Ronaldinho commented on the recently held Copa America that Brazil is the worst team I have ever seen. He even said that he is not willing to watch Brazil play in this Copa America. It is possible that he was forced to make such a comment because of the current poor performance of the Brazilian team.

There is one team in this group that I want to be able to show big surprise and that is Indonesia, they now have more naturalized players and that can help significantly.
Talking about the chances in Group C I think Japan, Australia and Saudi Arabia are the strongest candidates to advance to the next round. They are the football powers in Asia and they are in the same group. And you are right, Indonesia is currently in the spotlight because they naturalized players. This has changed Indonesia's strength and I think they are the best team in Southeast Asia right now. As far as I know, they are the only team from Southeast Asia to advance to the third round of the Asian World Cup qualifiers. But the most realistic result is that they are ranked third or fourth and if they are lucky, they will be able to advance to the 2026 World Cup in the next round.
Indeed, those are the 3 strongest team but what is certain is Japan, they are certain to be the top of group C with the top position Japan will be the team that can certainly enter the real competition later.
But for Indonesia, which is currently also being discussed as fairly tough team with the strength of naturalized players, so there is possibility for Indonesia to be able to match team like Australia and Saudi Arabia, let just see what Indonesia will give in this third round.
What is clear is that for the first match Indonesia will play against Saudi Arabia and after that there is Australia, in this match Indonesia will play away with Saudi Arabia and then play at home against Australia.
This is difficult start for Indonesia considering that their first two matches will face among the strongest team in Asia.

Brazil style of football is absolutely different from that of European football but on several occasions, we've seen Brazilian style of football  get the better of European teams until recently that they've been facing elimination from the FIFA World Cup from European teams. They're still the most successful football nation at the moment as they're the only country to have won the FIFA World Cup in 5 different occasions. Like you said, there's a possibility that they might be overtaken by European teams but there's also a possibility that Brazil might win the FIFA World Cup again to add their tally. In terms of talents, Brazil possesses the best talents any national team can boost of and I believe they'll perform better in big tournaments of they can get a good manager who will assemble these world class talents and make them play like a team.

The biggest problem with the Brazilian national team is the Brazilian coaches, who are completely unqualified. Although the CBF tried to hire Carlo Anceloti, no elite coach in world football would ever accept to coach the Brazilian national team, because the highest authority in Brazilian football is completely corrupt. I don't think a good foreign coach would accept to work in a place like the CBF.

It turns out that the national league doesn't pay as well as European football etc., so legendary players are revealed in national clubs, but after around 01 year or more, they end up receiving offers from giant clubs to play for their country.

They end up returning to play in national leagues when they are close to retirement, it was like that with 'Ronaldinho gaúcho', 'Ronaldo fenomeno', etc.

European clubs are increasingly looking for young players in Brazil, as seen in the case of Endrick and even Vinicius Jr, who were signed when they were still under 18. Even if a Brazilian team pays the same as a European team, there is a difference in structure. After all, who is going to stop playing for Real Madrid to stay in Brazil? The players also think about their entire family, living in a first world country, with less violence, more structure, everything is better....

Most of the national leagues in Africa, Asia and South America are not able to give salaries and other packages like we have in Europe, so mostly players love to cash out this and having good earnings and bonuses which allow them to spend good life after retirement so it's their right because we have to understand skills and talent can bring good money for them.

But, national leagues can do good as they are having youths teams with these they can bring talent and after development sending them to big leagues is also helpful for countries because with this money will be flow, and they will be able to do better things for the domestic leagues.

Even this is not easy job but still we are having good chance in Africa because now soccer is having good growth in this region, and they can go ahead with some long term projects for many countries.

But the most realistic result is that they are ranked third or fourth and if they are lucky, they will be able to advance to the 2026 World Cup in the next round.

I'm not still sure about it but think there are three teams that will get to the World Cup and these teams as you said but a better chance however the only thing they have in Saudi Arabia is money and they still don't have strong teams like Australia and Japan while I think Japand and Australia are both in the better situation to get themselves other first two places of the table. Australia and Japan are two teams that were usually in the World Cup from Asia.

As we are talking about few things which are not related to this world cup but still I have to give few points we are having African and Asian regions full of natural resources, and they are having good potential to do things as we are having in developing countries but greediness and personal egos are bigger here in this region, and we are not able to do things through table talk which is the best way of ending all conflicts and many big countries are also having their own interest so they never allow us to do things as we needed.

We are having good potential in soccer to bring good team and having good results, but sadly we fail to develop system and falling behind badly few countries are giving their best but still as organizations we are not able to bring good things in Africa and Asia which is surely big failure for them and for the youths of these regions.

As an African, I get emotional sometimes when we talk about soccer and Africa and how we battle for relevance in all walks of life especially in the international community. We have many talented players who have done exceptionally well in their professional football career and are still doing great things today.

The likes of Samuel Eto'o, Didier Drogba, Mikel Obi among other top and legendary players in the world. Now we have top rising stars like Victor Osimhen of Napoli and Nigeria, Mohammed Sallah of Liverpool and Egypt, Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen and Nigeria, Achraf Hakimi of PSG and Morocco, Andre Onana of Manchester United and Cameroon, Sofyan Ambarat of Manchester United and Morocco, Mohammed Kudu of West Ham and Ghana, and Mahrez of Al Ahli and Algeria.

Brazil, Germany, France - they're the titans of the World Cup. Why? Infrastructure. They offer the leagues, the junior systems, the entire shebang. The issue is, though, avoid sleeping on the underdogs. Africa boasts unvarnished skill. We are discussing actual potential here. Indeed, the leagues are less developed and the funds are not always available. But take a look at the African players leaving. They are illuminating the top teams in Europe. That event? That reflects the national team

Morocco in 2022 was a great event. The gap's closing. The next World Cup, big boys are still favorites. But an upset is not just possible, it's getting more likely every year. Keeping your eyes open will help. Talent is all around. The World Cup will soon become much more fascinating
Most of the players in the national team of my country were born in Europe. Meanwhile, we have local talents that can do better than these Western-raised players. The reason is that these foreign-based players are more exposed and technically sound. They understand modern trends in football because they are trained with advanced infrastructure and coached by qualified managers. Africa and other developing world have raw talents but they are relying on advanced countries to refine these players and bring the best out of them.

The Northen Afrian local league is the best in Africa. Their clubs are well-managed and pay players reasonably. Some of the players in the national team play in the local league which shows the level of development. This is why we are seeing Morrocco doing exploits at the international level. South Africa should have been another force in African football due to the high standard of the local league. But the Bafana Bafana have not lived up to expectations.

To be fair money made in the football world is a lot, and Brazil is normally not some hugely wealthy nation, and most of the football players out of there are not rich people, I can think of Kaka who was rich, but aside from that most of them are poor kids coming from poor families and they make millions and in return they do help their nation and the football structure as well, at least most of them.

Same is now happening with Africa, they have been decent at football for a while, but the money there and the scouting wasn't that huge, only for very known places. Now that kids are growing up, they are getting transfers to Europe, and spending that money back on building football schools back in their hometowns, there will be more and more people who will make it out as a rich person out of there. However, even with all of that, Europe and Latin America will stay the most powerful in world cup, it's clear that they know what they are doing.

The problem is not money. Here in Africa we have many natural resources. The problem lies with the corrupt people who govern African countries. They take the money from taxes that people pay and from natural resources and put it in their pockets and do not develop the sport. Even when some players go to play in Europe, these African football leaders demand money and make threats in order for them to go and play in Europe. When the players are already playing abroad, many are also charged money in order to be invited to play for the national team. To make the sequence of sad and shameful things that have been happening in African football even worse, the prize money given by African governments to players when they win something is very low, while FIFA pays a very high amount for winning a competition. So this really demotivates the players. I believe that the greatest motivation for African players when they play for the national team is their love for their country. But they are also afraid of getting injured when playing for the national team because they don't earn anything while in Europe they are paid very well.

Brazil has won the World Cup 5 times so far, Germany has won the World Cup four times so far, Argentina has won the World Cup three times and France has won the World Cup multiple times. Apart from the known teams we have mentioned, no new team has won the World Cup so far.
The current performance of Brazil and Germany teams is very different from their past performance. In particular, many differences between the Brazil and Germany teams have been noted at present. We used to see the Brazilian team playing attacking football, but now we don't see them like that on the field, they play football in a simple way. The players they have in their squad are not working hard as a result of which they are now out of the quarter final round. Surely we remember the 2014 FIFA World Cup where Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final match of the World Cup to win the title.We haven't seen Germany put on such a remarkable performance on the World Cup stage since then.

But Argentina and France are performing well at present. France reached the final of the 2018 World Cup and also the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but they lost the title to Argentina in 2022.

A good point which are talking but here we need to understand more updates related to this question Brazilian and African leagues are good but still not capable of having finances like we have in UEFA and few other countries like now Saudi Arab, Qatar, Japan and China so their players are having huge funds and incentives so they are allowing them to go ahead and give their best for having good money just because of this usually they are relaying on these leagues instead of having their own with their own leagues are also now doing good job as Brazilian league is also having good mark in soccer world.

Although many big teams leave the group stage despite having invested so much, Morocco is the only African team to play the semi-finals of the last World Cup tournament despite not getting enough opportunities. It is definitely a great achievement for all Africans. We can see the spread of football more and more globally and different countries are adopting different plans around football. If this continues, football will become more challenging for every team participating in the World Cup in the next 20 years and the tournament will be more competitive.
Morocco, Egypt and Nigeria are one of the best teams in African region, and they are doing good work for the development of the game even they are having no sources like we have in Europe and Saudi Arab but still things are taking good changes and their quality is also having good improvement which we watch in last world cup with in Olympics they also make their mark which is good sign for them to go through in this game.

Spreading a game in a country is never been easy because it needs good funds with strong management and good dedication African regions recent workout is good for the development of game even we have civil war in many countries, but they are still going through and giving their best in coming years we will have good results, and they will be able to compete with Europe and South America for the World Cup title.

Everything is beautiful, more games etc .. but we want to talk about the quality of the games there have been very boring games in this Copa America or in these Europeans only because FIFA must sell the rights, it does not seem right to me that because of the money we must see A boring slow and talented boring football, so I say that if they have the opportunity they will surely do it, but they will certainly not have my support and my sequel
It is certainly conceivable that when the number of teams is increased, there will be some relatively weak opponents in the main stages of the World Cup tournament, which may make football less competitive for them, but the chances of this happening are slim. Because there are still many countries who are playing good football but are not able to qualify for the main stage, if they get a chance they will definitely do well in the main stage. Copa América has some well-known teams and the rest never compete with those well-known teams, but that will not happen in the World Cup. As the number of teams increases, so does the number of groups and if there are two strong teams in each group then two relatively weaker teams will be added so that the stronger teams will advance to the next round.

In my opinion, however, the fact of having so many teams is an evil in the sense that there will be more and more teams that will act as a mattress and the others will take advantage of it will surely be a different world championship where there will be many new nations that perhaps perhaps they would have dreamed of Participate in a World Cup, but in my opinion the gap is still wide for certain countries to compete with the big worlds!

Apart from the known teams we have mentioned, no new team has won the World Cup so far. In the 2022 World Cup we saw the African team Morocco play the semi-finals of the FIFA World Cup which was a big achievement for a new team. However, even if the World Cup tournament is organized with more teams, there will be less chance of new teams doing well, the teams that we know and the teams that we think are strong are the teams that are performing well.

African nations will not be able to win the World Cup any time soon because they do not invest much in football in their countries. This is different from European and South American countries that have first division, second division, third division leagues and have also played football in every corner of the country. In Africa, countries can only have a weak first division league, a much weaker second division league and a lot of corruption. Therefore, the few talented players will go to play in Europe, but when the national team plays, not all the players play for big European teams. They have to take some players from the local league and this greatly affects the team's performance. It seems to me that countries like Argentina, France, Germany and Spain will still be considered very strong in the next World Cup and Brazil still needs to improve because they are not strong.

If you check which teams usually win the World Cup recently you can understand other than some cases like Argentina, usually, the countries win the World Cup when they spend more money on their football like Germany and England while the African teams can't do that, in fact, it doesn't make any sense for them to invest too much for football because in these countries people can't have enough food and we know football is not their first need,



The problem is not money. Here in Africa we have many natural resources. The problem lies with the corrupt people who govern African countries. They take the money from taxes that people pay and from natural resources and put it in their pockets and do not develop the sport.

I agree with you and it is normal that other nations are coming up and showing off because the talents are there in all nations and international football is becoming equal but we are still far from the big teams where there are much fuller youth fields and talents there are many more, look at Spain for example, so unfortunately in the poorer states there is still a lack of infrastructure and people who believe in it, so there is still a lot of work to do but we are there!

African nations will not be able to win the World Cup any time soon because they do not invest much in football in their countries. This is different from European and South American countries that have first division, second division, third division leagues and have also played football in every corner of the country. In Africa, countries can only have a weak first division league, a much weaker second division league and a lot of corruption. Therefore, the few talented players will go to play in Europe, but when the national team plays, not all the players play for big European teams. They have to take some players from the local league and this greatly affects the team's performance. It seems to me that countries like Argentina, France, Germany and Spain will still be considered very strong in the next World Cup and Brazil still needs to improve because they are not strong.
That is why Morocco was praised so much in the last World Cup tournament. It is true as you said that Nigeria does not invest much in football but on the contrary you look at various European countries where football is very important and they invest a lot of money in football.
Although many big teams leave the group stage despite having invested so much, Morocco is the only African team to play the semi-finals of the last World Cup tournament despite not getting enough opportunities. It is definitely a great achievement for all Africans. We can see the spread of football more and more globally and different countries are adopting different plans around football. If this continues, football will become more challenging for every team participating in the World Cup in the next 20 years and the tournament will be more competitive.
