This Brazil team is absolute horrible and not just because of skills (but absolutely because of skills as well) but they are not in the slightest prepared for competition and it shows. Everyone wants to score, everyone wants to show off their dribbling skills, long passes, long shots when they can't even do the basics.
Neymar is out, brazilian media will never get tired of spamming "will vini and rodrygo step up?" "Who is gonna be the next big name? Vini, Rodrygo, Endrick?" Fuck off with that shit. These dudes probably let it get to their heads, they're all too young, they don't know their teammates well.
They need someone to help make sense out of all this and put their heads in the right direction and who the fuck gets called? Fuckin little legged Diniz. Forget his tactics and his vision of football, dude is the absolute worst option to lead a team full of young and already successful stars. Just look at his face whenever the camera cuts to him and you'll see he's always red angry. You can also hear him many times during the match screaming "CARALHO" and shit while swearing at the players.
Funk this team's massive egos, fuck CBF, fuck Diniz.
