social media ruined football look at antony celebrating 7 times for one goal, hiring a personal photographer and literally clip farming while playing. all these players think they’re about to be put in a highlight video
I say the same to my friends. Culturally speaking, Brazilian players are easily involved in parties and enjoyment. Socialmedia maximized this. Now it's just ostentation and women. It's almost impossible for a young player not to be corrupted by this.
As a Brazilian, I can say that one of the most debated issues within the country is the increasingly early departure of our best players to European clubs. There, they are molded to perform specific tactical roles, losing the traits that traditionally define Brazilian football. In the late 90s, players would transfer abroad between the ages of 23 and 26. Today, it's almost a miracle if they reach 20 while still playing in Brazil. The top athletes now play almost the same style of football, concentrated in five major European leagues, characterized by a highly physical and tactical game. It's worth noting that there has always been tactics and physical preparation in Brazilian football, but the difference used to be the dribbling and creativity. With today’s football concentrated in about 20 major European teams, Brazilian players who go there have become system players, lacking the ability to decide matches as they once did.
u r very much right... but barca mentality is diff. they teach u to play beautiful football not only score goals. in barca, they would praise u for making a great assist rather than scoring
@@Blaziken0017Bro it took Argentina 28 freaking yrs to win their first major title since 1993 in their copa win in 2021.Then followed their wcup win. Its not like Argentina were winning anything. They came close in several finals only during the Messi era
To be fair if you told Brazilians in 1970 they wouldn’t get another WC until 24 years later they would think you are crazy but this fall off is insane. Shows how much Neymar carried this team and I hope people show him his much due respect now he is not there.
True, but after Pele’s generation at least that era of Zico and Socrates was still incredibly respected and formidable, they also were well known for playing incredible football
funny how people claim that neymar carried brazil, even tho he also hasn't won anything major with the national team and something like 60% of his international goals were scored in meaningless friendlies, brazil has also won 2019 copa america without him lmao, neymar is overrated
Yeah, they were forced to reckon at that time. They had at least more than one legendary player in each position, it's still quite shocking that they lost to France in 1998.
Funny enough, as a Brazilian born in 82, I lived through all of these years and the media would crash the Brazilian National Team ALL THE TIME! Rivaldo? Cafu? Man, these were always extremely criticized on every game... Brazil did not easily qualify to the 1994 and 2002 WCs, even if we won them... These teams were always under a lot of pressure! In fact, Brazil reached their bottom in the 2001 Copa América went we lost to HONDURAS in the quarter finals...
Jokes aside he is miles better than Endrick for the national team. The only reason he was dropped was because of the fake allegations against him, not due to poor performances.
Yeah while making this video I just thought it was so weird to watch them celebrate so wildy from scoring a goal to cut the lead to only 6 goals… I guess they needed it to avoid absolute and complete shame but my goodness 😟
I think it was around Pato’s generation, after the 2002 win and after Kaka’s generation, that every Brazilian talent was touted to be the next big thing. And they were almost entirely not anything. Older generations were so good because they did the fundamentals like clock work. They also took time to develop. Ronaldo didn’t go straight to Barcelona. Neither did Ronaldinho.
Cafu, "I am afraid, the more we have Brazilians moving to the Premier League, the fewer chances for Brazil to win the World Cup. Imagine being brainwashed by the media every week that you are the best in the world, meanwhile, you are not near the best."
Because that's what European whites do. Convince you their better when in the complete opposite. Coming from a black American with native blood... Trust me..
The first match of professional football I ever saw was Ronaldinho's last match for Brazil. Even then he intrigued me. So smiling, dancing, with those great teeth and his wild hair. As I grew up and got more television (internet, really) available, it was a joy to realize just how great he had been. I was too young to appreciate at the time, but it was a fantastic scene to witness his farewell
the two madmen spoiled us so much, we thought it would never end,the truth is football has gone back to factory settings, after the two bugs have been cleaned from the system( messi and ronaldo)
@@birame2008 I hear you but they were an anomaly. I’m talking about your great players that came through the years like maldini kaka R9 Henry Iniesta xavi Rafa Márquez I mean the list goes on and on. You look at these new young players and they lack flare, skill, technicality, mentality.
After the 1970 WC Brazil went on a huge drought with no success but their golden generation of the 90s and 2000s helped reestablish Brazil as the greatest footballing nation for many. From 1994-2009 🔥 2x World Cup 3x Confederations Cup 4x Copa America
yeah but the difference is the style of play and how good they were for example 70s 80s brazil especially the zico and socrates era were beautiful football and 1982 brazil considered one of the greatest team even though they didn't win.and also brazil won copa america in the 80s
The biggest problem in Brazil is the lack of a good national manager. We even have good players on paper (Even with them not being better than others on history) but if the team lacks organization they potential cant be drawn
It's so amazing to see that your channel has grown so much. It has been a year or so since I last saw your videos and it is amazing to see you have half million subscribers now. When I subscribed it didn't have 100k now look at you. Keep up the good works
As you said, people are ignoring the fact that it has been at least a generation since Brazil last produced an elite playmaker like Kaka or Ronaldinho. You can have all the viniciuses, rodrygos and raphinhas you want, if they don't get service (a good playmaker behind them) they won't do anything. Not to mention that brazilian coaches were simply left behind tactically consistently and individual play just won't cut it anymore
Maaaan could've been Oscar😢 He chose to follow the money. Do I blame him, no. Although, his career was only going up. Couldve potentially earned that money as his career flourished.
That's really, really sad, man!! One of the main reasons why I loved Brazil is the way they used to play...It was so much fun for the eye to watch that art + they were the most feared team at the time of Ronaldinho and Ronaldo's era!
To be honest 2022 wc was truly Brazil’s ,before they face Croatia they didn’t conceile a goal.A single defensive mistake cost them the defeat.Neymar was so unlucky to become one of the greatest players of all time.
You do realise him winning as part of a team has zero baring on his individual ability. He could have been one of the greatest of all time but a shocking attitude prevented him from reaching his potential. If he'd spent as much time practicing on the pitch as he did diving and rolling around like a fanny he would have been better and not absolutely despised but loved for being entertaining.
I think it’s probably a societal thing which has impacted their football factory. A Portuguese buddy of mine lived in Brazil from 2015 to 2018 and he says the football culture is mirrored by the change in how daily life is and kids don’t seem to care like they used to. Maybe exposure to other sports or activities is the reason. It’s sad to see. Neymar is also the poster child for this. Not the cause but his career personifies that
I can imagine this. I've only been to Brazil once myself about 7-8 years ago but I've got a fair few Brazilian friends in London and from what I can tell, Brazil is a country that has recently become significantly richer quite recently. Access to the internet, to video games, Netflix and the various trappings of basically a modern Western society have started to take hold. The days of the kids having nothing to do but play football in the street have genuinely faded away a bit, so you don't have this 'ideal footballing country' where you had a massive population, huge football culture, nothing else to really distract the up-and-coming kids but just enough capital and infrastructure to run decent academies and maintain good quality coaching.
@@matthewstevens1736 Mate I’m from South Africa and we went through what Brazil is going through: we had a golden age of football and once the country got “richer” and became more developed and open to Westernized customs, our football suffered. Players started not caring and showed less desire because they were now earning the salary of an Executive or successful business owner. Plus Rugby became more Popular here amongst the black kids, in the township(equivalent to the Favelas in Brazil)
@@matthewstevens1736 I'm Brazilian and I believe it's not just that. Brazil has become extremely dangerous, so people avoid leaving children on the street, either because of kidnappings or robberies... Most people avoid leaving the house or being on the street. There are no longer those super happy people, who didn't worry about anything and just wanted to have fun. Politics destroyed the Brazil I knew and now the majority just want to leave...
well for me I think the opposite. I think that they were too stubborn with that old style of brazilian players, doing unnecessary dribbling, or trying to dribble the whole. The level has increased. Relying only on dribblers won't make you win games. They're still very useful. But now it's just a part that you need to win. You need good midfielders that can find unseen passes and can defend. You also need a good defense, quick and can play with the ball. Fullbacks who are complete, they can defend, provide assist and runs. And a good tactic
@@MoSylla45it's more like "press resistant" players nowadays a team relied on space and pressing, dribbles doesn't do anything if you got surrounded by 3 players.
Guys i´m brazilian and i can explain why our national team play like shit today. The main reason is that the Agents of most brazilian players dictate the squad for the brazilian teams and also the national team. In Brazil unfortunately there´s this culture of people trying to get monetarily advantage among others. We still produce really good players, in every city of this country, but most of then don´t have a agent and they simply can´t make it to professional
Daaaa, isso existe em TODOS os paises no mundo, isso de levar vantagem monetária em cima de outras é normal em TODOS OS PAÍSES DO MUNDO. geralmente que fica falando que isso é jeitinho brasileiro são acéfalos da extrema direita
True, if you don’t have proper agent, you can have talent and work ethic, but no one is gonna hear of you. I think no one feares Brazil anymore, they are good team, but not invincible.
So you mean that the problem is the Brazilian culture which is corrupted and mainly interested in making a quick buck? Explains why Brazil is getting worse and worse...
Furthermore, i want to say as a dutchman and Ajax fan, that seeing Ronaldo(R9) comming up in de Eredivisie was amazing, he is still one of my favorites of all time. The Ajax team of that time was even better, but PSV was amazing with Ronaldo and Nilis. Interesting as well, is that Ronaldo said that Nilis is favorite partner in the attack of everybody. The intervieuwer was shocked. Brasil, and Brasilian football is special. Like the football from The Netherlands. Unique. The best is that they keep playing in there own style, despite of winning or losing. For me the most special player i have seen play is Ronaldo, el Phenomeno. But the most amazing player off all time is for me Johan Cruijff. Maybe, 'bias' because of The Netherlands. The Brasil shirt will always stay special.
My first football memory was seeing the 1970s team in the World Cup . Watching the greatest goal ever was a beautiful and poetic and I still remember sitting in front of the tv Ona hot summer afternoon as a seven year old hearing the names of Pele , Rivelino, Jairzhino and how they sounded and looked so otherworldly and exciting
I am glad I witness the glory days of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho football era, kinda lost interest when the team got replaced . Thanks for thee nostalgic video.
2018 world cup brazil squad is so underrated imo it was easily their best team since 2002, shame they couldn't overcome belgiums golden generation they had a good shot at winning the whole tournament
Yes, both 2018 and 2022 were good teams. 2022 had better names overall and I think they were indeed the best team alingside Argentina. As for 2018, it were either France, Belgium or Brazil
@@luccavalentinw.fiorini2302 nah tbh 2018 brazil was better since a lot of their players (neymar, thiago silva, coutinho, firmino, marquinhos) ect were still in their primes the big names in 2022 are players like vinicius who dont perform well outside their clubs
@@Wyvernvzx as a Brazillian our perception was that 2022 was a better team, because we were more stacked... In 2018 outside de first 11 + Ederson there was no one else that good and Neymar was returning from injury (we also had Jesus on a terrible form, the worst number 9 the brazillian national team ever had on 22 WC so far, since he was the only one that didn't scored a single goal)
@@luccavalentinw.fiorini2302 i get what you mean tbf but imo when you look at the players from 2018 who didn't play in 2022 (firmino, coutinho, douglas costa, marcelo augusto) and then their replacements (vini jr, rodrygo, richarlison, antony, militao) you see a clear difference in quality and that combined with the fact that the remaining players were in much better form in 2018 (neymar, thiago silva, casemiro ect) on paper the 2018 team would be better but you're right though context matters like how neymar was returning from a injury
One thing I'd like to see discussed more with this topic: If Brazil is doing so poorly, why does Argentina keep winning? Argentine players also get shipped off to Europe at a young age, but somehow Argentina is still dominant. What makes the difference? Can Brazil learn from their rivals and adapt to a new world?
Argentina has not been as dominant ad you claim. It took them 36 years to win another world cup .There good performances have mainly been as a result of the extra ordinary talent of Messi and also the brilliance of Dimaria who has been prone to injury .When Dimaria got injured in the 2014 world cup semi finals, the burden was solely Messi to carry the team against a very formidable German side and they ended up loosing to Germany in extra time.
Diferent aproach. Argentina used to debate between bilardo or menotti.. very different way of thinking. But bilardo won. Nowdays a Hard foul or taclke Will get praised in argentina .. you have to "meter huevos" .. play with a knife between your theeth.. Brazilians would never be allowed to play a río de la plata stile of football.. they cant . Btw argentina won under MESSI and di maría (with a team of hardworkers behind) .. is not like they didnt need the second coming of Maradona to win...
Argentina has been dominant for 4 or 5 years, after nearly 30 years of winning nothing and wasting most of the prime years of arguably the best player ever. So, I would not draw any conclusions yet…
@@SsaliJoel-ig9pl Brazil has consistently failed against the first tough European team they meet since the 2006 World Cup. Argentina may have had a trophy drought between 1993 and 2021, but they still managed to go all the way to the final in 2014 (and very nearly win it, too). They sure did a lot better than 7-1, even without the host advantage. Brazil seems to do alright in CONMEBOL (until recently), but they can't beat European teams. Argentina can, even before their recent winning streak.
Argentina is plain better in most sports. Argentina are better in more sports than brazil sich as boxing, rugby, basketball, handball, etc. Brazil haa fallen off
It's not a talent issue. Brazil has mediocre coaching. There is no elite Brazilian manager. A lot of Brazil's best managers would be middle tier in a country like Argentina. Just look at the best coaches coaching in Brazil Serie A. They're not even Brazilian. Brazil needs to hire someone like Abel Ferreira from Palmeiras, if they can. But Brazil has too much pride in hiring Brazilian-born managers. Making the World Cup is far more important.
Fun fact even the 2006 golden era with Kaka/R9 etc they weren't playing good football it was already the beginning of the downfall.. Zidane was toying with Kaka and R9 and the whole Brazilian team.
False! Ronaldo was old and fat and was refusing to run! I remember that i was there.. Also lot of the team was old and there was a very stuborn old coach.
Zidane was the 12th Brazilian in 2006… still remember watching the game and being blown away by it… this was literally peak Zidane against an “overconfident” Brazil… but if it wasn’t for that maybe they would have won the Hexa… who knows?
As an Argentine, I always liked Jogo Bonito (besides the rivalry we have with them) and the way they play (or used to) how they treat the ball, how technical the players were, all that playing with joy in their faces as if they were playing on beaches or into a favela.
I've noticed in myself a decline of interest in football in general. The way it's played nowadays is more a matter of athletism & strategy than pure football skills & intelligence.
The rest of europe has caught up to Brazil. If you told Brazilians 20 years ago that they would get eliminated by Croatia in a World Cup quarter final, they would've taken you for a mad man.
The last one who had "Samba" flowing through his veins was Neymar which revealed a lot about the disastrous state of the selecao when they relied heavily on him WC 2014. No one except him had any creativity to make things happen....
The 94 Brazilian with Romario and Bebeto were special and I was an Italian fan devastated when Baggio missed but can't deny the class of that Brazilian team!
Having said that, Brazil has just won their sixth futsal world cup a few hours ago today. Along with the previously won beach world cup a few months ago, it is the second time Brazil won a sixth world cup in a football related competiion this year.
Zidane stopping this Brazil side on 2 different occasions is something truly remarkable. If it weren't for Zidane Brazil wouls probably have now 6 or 7 WC trophies
As an Argentinian, Brazil isn’t in decline. Not even close nor in my lifetime at least. When Neymar was the star of Brazil, especially when Brazil stopped calling up Ronaldinho and kaka in the early 2010s. Many were saying Brazil was in decline in that decade. Now that Messi-Ronaldo aren’t irrelevant, many Brazilians now are giving Neymar the credit he should’ve gotten. Brazil wool always have a great abundance of players left and right. Even at theyre worse stage, they have always been better than Argentina post Maradona. Argentina to be fair was overhyped for many years, and it wasn’t until Messi came along and then put Argentina at the same level as Brazil, Germany, Spain, and Italy in the 2010s. Brazil will be back I’m sure soon. I really would like to see Neymar win the WC, so he can finally say we are in the Neymar era of greatness.
I'm brazilian so I'm biased to say, but i'm more worried with post-Messi argentina than with post-Neymar generation, cuz Brazil still got very young Rodrygo/Vini/Endrick, but I don't think De Paul and Lautaro will be able to keep the squad on the very top. Not to mention Di Maria is also retiring soon, and their absence will make a HUGE impact. I know Argentina did win against Brazil in last matchs and is playing much better, just saying I can't see young generation being very promising though
@@marcosyy87 like I said, Brazil will always be great no matter what. Argentina will be okay, but not as great. Post Maradona up until 2010. Argentina was decent but overrated. Who knows when we will have another Argentinian legend. I don’t think anytime soon. But now we can be more comparable against Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands and Spain.
Newmar is physicaly weak, multiple injury will not bring him to highest level, he is not Ronaldo nazario, i remember R9 also haunted by multiple injury, but he is still show his quality and bring Brazil go to 2 world cup final and win one. Sorry to say, but Neymar also part of Brazilian football decline
Defense is just so rigorous and disciplined nowadays. I am not sure the samba style would flourish even if they had maintained it. It will be interesting to see how the game continues to evolve. Already people talk about some few teams who go back to a more flashy or less orderly style, in an attempt to subvert Pep's influence all across Europe. A few Dutch teams, etc, who are doing surprisingly well sometimes. But it seems a long way off.
Brazilian here, for us, one of the reasons of this decline is the celebrity status. The players today, have so many millions of followers and millions on their bank account, for them, doesn't matter if they win or not. If they lose, they just say "next time we try again" ... This isn't the winner mentality they should have. Their mentality is weak, they always have an excuse to play bad. Neymar is one of the worst things that happened to us, he is weak and never recognize his mistakes, and his mentality is influencing the other players. The truth is, in Brasil, Neymar is considered a fraud, CBF is a cancer, and the people has 0 identification with the national team. (i tried my best in english right now 🤣)
Accurate depiction about what’s going on. Back in the day, even when losing, it was worth stopping to watch. Nowadays, I don’t even care. There is no more respect to wear that yellow shirt, no more love, pride or honor.
Hope to see Neymar healthy again and play for Brazil at least a few more times 🙏 I guarantee we’ll miss him when he’s gone. But leave a like if you enjoyed and share this your friends to support the channel ❤️
i almost cry because these days brazil national team are clowns and divers. real brazil = ronaldo ronaldhino, kaka cafu , roberto carlos, adriano, lucio, ze roberto , and robinho . off course legend as zico , romario, bebeto and king pele
Funny comment, Neymar is actually the main symbol of this failed generation, but instead of chosing him you put Endrick in the thumbnail who barely began his carrer, and is far from being one of the players underperforming in the national team (even Vini Jr. would make more sense). If anything he's the one who simbolizes the Brazil's hopes to return to the top, not Neymar.
This is like listening to the Eulogy of an old friend 😢😢😢 Makes me want to cry. Growing up watching football, Romario, Bebeto, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo (9l, good times. Good memories. Neymar really is the last of a dying breed. I'm not sure the others played in Brazil before going to European clubs.
I think while Antony is justified to be on the thumbnail, even Vini and Rodrygo to some extent but it's kinda too early to declare Endrick a flop, the kid has just turned 18, I think we'd need to see more of him before declaring him a failure with national team
There's everything is this video: tekken references, fifa street, captain tsubasa, and more. Great view on what was once our country's very own style of play.
You dont see 25 kids playing in the streets with one ball (that’s where the dribbles, reflexes and balance is developed)….they are all in academies learning to play the European way 😢
Well football is a European sport. Things have just got more professional. Next you will be talking about MMA fighters who learnt in the gym rather than scraping in the streets
@@liviekumoriBy the late 90's Europe as a whole got stronger. Now even a country such as Croatia or Belgium is a tough game for anyone. It's like if a pro went to play football against a bunch of drunks he could style on them. Much harder vs an organized team of professional athletes. Not just that but the standard of international football has got more professional. I wonder when someone aside from a South American or a European country will win the world cup.
The 98 World Cup was the first time I'd seen a Brasil team get humbled. 2002 made up for that but they've been seen as mortals since. I'd fallen in love with the Zico & Careca era of Brasil, my partner is from Brasil too. We had the misfortune of watching the 2014 WC semi final with our German housemate and his German friend plus my Brazilian partner. Ouch.
Argentina only shines under Goat. Messi was Argentina's first player to reach a World Cup final since Maradona. Compared to that, the situation in Brazil is not bad. Look at Italy, how far they have fallen. now people don't even mention it. Germany also in decline, Doesn't Brazil have the highest average performance in the World Cup?
As someone who's been following football since the late 60's modern football just doesn't really excite me anymore. It's just too passionless, homogenous, suffocatingly rigid, devoid of flair and almost robotic and entirely money driven. When 22 robots eventually take the field I doubt you'll even notice it.
1:42 I will not tolerate this Bolivia slander when we actually have trophies and WC appearances to our name, there’s a clear candidate which has neither 👀
The current Brazilian squad lacks a leader and a world class midfielder. They have got 2 of the best goalkeepers in the world, Alison and Ederson, And with the likes of Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Neymar, Raphinha, Richarlison, Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Endrick and Savio at their disposal they are the envy of many national football teams. But they do not possess a world class midfielder.
@@СуренСамирович no neither Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha are top players, but the momentum they came at the 2022 WC was better then today... They are all 7/10 players, but with the right momentum they can reach a 8/10 lvl. As for the WC performance, Richarlison was great, while Raphinha and Gabriel Jesus were terrible
World Class players- Neymar, Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Allison and Ederson Good players- Richarlison, Raphinha, Martinelli, G Jesus Average players- Paqueta, Danilo, Renan Lodi High potential players- Endrick, Savio, Pedro
Im Brazilian and defo from now on i must hear ,see it feel it and breathe english footballl just because u guys are just better......never mind be 5 stars we won it AWAY
Brazil missing out the upcoming World Cup was considered a "humiliation" for the whole country and FIFA. The country had always qualified for every single World Cup. As for FIFA, it's a big shame considering the 2026 edition has 48 teams, with CONMEBOL having 6 automatic spots + 1 winner from the playoff.
The main problem with current Brazil team is that they don’t have a proper midfield. The midfielders are literally very average players. If it’s set then half of the problems are solved.
That 90s/00s generation was pure skill, dedication - one of the best team in history. Today Brasil feels more like instagram boys - with tattoos and crazy haircuts, some skill is still there at the cost of one little contact and they fall in pain, hoping for foul.
Greetings and good morning My name is Adnan aka Deno I am big fan of your videos your are an important source of football knowledge and information brilliant and amazing job. I am active on X football spaces and I always mention you to my colleagues about your channel. Appreciate your fantastic content much respect from Saudi Arabia. Regards Adnan Deno Alsheikh
goddamn that 1997 brasil squad and the mundial france 98 really make my eyes teary. once football was authentic and passionate compared to todays sold out shit
They really didn't. Scored 11 and conceded 3 in the group then comfortably won every knockout round game. The only moment the entire tournament they were under threat was around 20 minutes when they were behind to England.
As a Brazilian, I can only express my sadness. Our young stars are sold to Europe for millions of dollars at the age of 16/17. Although it is not a rule, the vast majority of young players seem to play without the soul that the older ones had.
I fell in love with soccer / football when I lived in Brasil in 2019. Hearing the cheers every time they scored at Copa America was enough for me to be hooked on the sport for life. Watching the national team struggle these past few years has been tough, and most of the Brazilians I know are frustrated with the play, but I have faith that I will witness a new era where o jogo bonito dominates the global sport. It’s still Brasil, and the sport still belongs to them.
It's not their sport. Football is a European sport, actually from England. Brazil was hot from the 1960's to the early 00"s. But you have an emotional response to things it seems. I wonder where come from..
Reminds me a lot of my own country's football leagues. There was a time when people used to play out of love but at some point our players get caught up in fashion and celebrity status rather than actual talent.
Great video, watched it 2 times. Thank you for mentioning that Brazils downfall worked out well for Argentina, because I've been saying since like 2019 copa america that Argentina has easy way of winning it, no competition, and people keep hating and attacking me for it. But the truth is, Copa America became more frequent, and less exciting, it was Argentina vs Brazil last few years and Brazil's downfall is making Copa America 1 team league, and it will be like this for a while. Also Joga Bonito team made me fall in love with football, and it makes me sad that foodball isnt that kind of magic anymore, its all scoring and titles and acting and diving, but it used to be MAGIC. never forget Ronaldinho, the best ever player to touch the ball.
In the 1998 final France was not ‘the underdog ‘. They played on homeground and also had Zidane. The Brasilian team was in turmoil because Ronaldo had suffered from an epileptic fit just the day before the final - so he was unable to play welll as is perfectly clear by watching that final.
What about you saying : "As a German my country was responsible for 2 world wars which indiscriminately killed millions and millions of people" . Ps: German has also lost a word cup final to Brazil. Don't forget 2002 MF
13:01 I tuned in to watch football after a long time during 2018 world cup and I got see Hazard terrorizing the team that day can't believe its been over 6 years now

True, but after Pele’s generation at least that era of Zico and Socrates was still incredibly respected and formidable, they also were well known for playing incredible football
Yeah 1982 Brasil is still looked up for their beautiful football
@@RaymarFootball hey Raymar,big fan of your vids,could you maybe do a video about Nani and Ricardo Quaresma later in the future thanks bruh
funny how people claim that neymar carried brazil, even tho he also hasn't won anything major with the national team and something like 60% of his international goals were scored in meaningless friendlies, brazil has also won 2019 copa america without him lmao, neymar is overrated
@@bjdfed Did you actually look at the 2014 World Cup with your eyes?
The fact that Brazil reached finals 3 times in a row - 1994,1998 and 2002 won 2 of them which shows how scary and powerful this team was
Yeah, they were forced to reckon at that time. They had at least more than one legendary player in each position, it's still quite shocking that they lost to France in 1998.
@@michaelhernandi7019 Zidane factor hahaha.
Nobody feared 1994 brazilian team though. Even though they had Romario, and he was a monster
Funny enough, as a Brazilian born in 82, I lived through all of these years and the media would crash the Brazilian National Team ALL THE TIME! Rivaldo? Cafu? Man, these were always extremely criticized on every game... Brazil did not easily qualify to the 1994 and 2002 WCs, even if we won them... These teams were always under a lot of pressure! In fact, Brazil reached their bottom in the 2001 Copa América went we lost to HONDURAS in the quarter finals...

Let's be honest, that 7-1 on home soil in front of the entire nation, did a number on them that would take a generation to live down.
Yeah while making this video I just thought it was so weird to watch them celebrate so wildy from scoring a goal to cut the lead to only 6 goals… I guess they needed it to avoid absolute and complete shame but my goodness 😟
Yh, that was absolutely messed up
That match was unbelievable
@@oslonorway547 I honestly think that defeat personified everything wrong with that generation of football.
It even couldve been 8-0 if Özil hadnt fumbled
I think it was around Pato’s generation, after the 2002 win and after Kaka’s generation, that every Brazilian talent was touted to be the next big thing. And they were almost entirely not anything.
Older generations were so good because they did the fundamentals like clock work. They also took time to develop. Ronaldo didn’t go straight to Barcelona. Neither did Ronaldinho.
Yeah Ronaldo played in the dutch league and Ronaldinho for a poor PSG
Cafu, "I am afraid, the more we have Brazilians moving to the Premier League, the fewer chances for Brazil to win the World Cup. Imagine being brainwashed by the media every week that you are the best in the world, meanwhile, you are not near the best."
Because that's what European whites do. Convince you their better when in the complete opposite. Coming from a black American with native blood... Trust me..
Well their biggest talent in this generation moved to Spain and become a meme.
Cafu is anti Premier League. It's the best league in the world
@@Ze_Moose oh okay. You know more about football than Cafu. Bet ..

Goatony alone could win a world cup, but nobody is ready for that
You are right I guess they don't like winning
The first match of professional football I ever saw was Ronaldinho's last match for Brazil. Even then he intrigued me. So smiling, dancing, with those great teeth and his wild hair. As I grew up and got more television (internet, really) available, it was a joy to realize just how great he had been. I was too young to appreciate at the time, but it was a fantastic scene to witness his farewell
Tbh it’s not just Brazil. I feel like globally the level of football has dropped drastically and embarrassingly
instant like from me bro. same feelings here
Less about skill more about athleticism now plus back then the gamw was a lot more simple players can’t play as free anymore

After the 1970 WC Brazil went on a huge drought with no success but their golden generation of the 90s and 2000s helped reestablish Brazil as the greatest footballing nation for many. From 1994-2009 🔥

3x Confederations Cup
4x Copa America
This was during a time when the sport was less commercialized and optimized, though.

Never ever lose this uniqueness of video making. The effort you put into every video is remarkable which shows the quality of your videos
The biggest problem in Brazil is the lack of a good national manager. We even have good players on paper (Even with them not being better than others on history) but if the team lacks organization they potential cant be drawn

As you said, people are ignoring the fact that it has been at least a generation since Brazil last produced an elite playmaker like Kaka or Ronaldinho. You can have all the viniciuses, rodrygos and raphinhas you want, if they don't get service (a good playmaker behind them) they won't do anything. Not to mention that brazilian coaches were simply left behind tactically consistently and individual play just won't cut it anymore
Neymar????????????
no good fullbacks either since like 2010/

That's really, really sad, man!! One of the main reasons why I loved Brazil is the way they used to play...It was so much fun for the eye to watch that art + they were the most feared team at the time of Ronaldinho and Ronaldo's era!
To be honest 2022 wc was truly Brazil’s ,before they face Croatia they didn’t conceile a goal.A single defensive mistake cost them the defeat.Neymar was so unlucky to become one of the greatest players of all time.
You do realise him winning as part of a team has zero baring on his individual ability. He could have been one of the greatest of all time but a shocking attitude prevented him from reaching his potential. If he'd spent as much time practicing on the pitch as he did diving and rolling around like a fanny he would have been better and not absolutely despised but loved for being entertaining.

I think it’s probably a societal thing which has impacted their football factory. A Portuguese buddy of mine lived in Brazil from 2015 to 2018 and he says the football culture is mirrored by the change in how daily life is and kids don’t seem to care like they used to. Maybe exposure to other sports or activities is the reason. It’s sad to see. Neymar is also the poster child for this. Not the cause but his career personifies that
I can imagine this. I've only been to Brazil once myself about 7-8 years ago but I've got a fair few Brazilian friends in London and from what I can tell, Brazil is a country that has recently become significantly richer quite recently. Access to the internet, to video games, Netflix and the various trappings of basically a modern Western society have started to take hold.
The days of the kids having nothing to do but play football in the street have genuinely faded away a bit, so you don't have this 'ideal footballing country' where you had a massive population, huge football culture, nothing else to really distract the up-and-coming kids but just enough capital and infrastructure to run decent academies and maintain good quality coaching.
@@matthewstevens1736 Mate I’m from South Africa and we went through what Brazil is going through: we had a golden age of football and once the country got “richer” and became more developed and open to Westernized customs, our football suffered. Players started not caring and showed less desire because they were now earning the salary of an Executive or successful business owner. Plus Rugby became more Popular here amongst the black kids, in the township(equivalent to the Favelas in Brazil)
@@subzfit At least with South Africa your rugby team is amazing.
@@matthewstevens1736 I'm Brazilian and I believe it's not just that. Brazil has become extremely dangerous, so people avoid leaving children on the street, either because of kidnappings or robberies... Most people avoid leaving the house or being on the street. There are no longer those super happy people, who didn't worry about anything and just wanted to have fun. Politics destroyed the Brazil I knew and now the majority just want to leave...
@@RenanXLS O Brasil sempre foi perigoso irmão. Vc tem uma percepção saudosista do passado que não existe
well for me I think the opposite. I think that they were too stubborn with that old style of brazilian players, doing unnecessary dribbling, or trying to dribble the whole. The level has increased. Relying only on dribblers won't make you win games. They're still very useful. But now it's just a part that you need to win. You need good midfielders that can find unseen passes and can defend. You also need a good defense, quick and can play with the ball. Fullbacks who are complete, they can defend, provide assist and runs. And a good tactic
Aka: You need system players 😂
Where are dribblers in current brazil other than vini jr? Raphinha?? Rodrygo? Endrick? Paqueta? Martinelli? Also vini's dribbling has no end product.
@@rhymm9099 This guy is a part of the problem
Dribblers are precisely the only ones able to decide a game. They can eliminate multiple adversaries and kick the ball in the net.
@@MoSylla45it's more like "press resistant" players nowadays a team relied on space and pressing, dribbles doesn't do anything if you got surrounded by 3 players.
Guys i´m brazilian and i can explain why our national team play like shit today. The main reason is that the Agents of most brazilian players dictate the squad for the brazilian teams and also the national team. In Brazil unfortunately there´s this culture of people trying to get monetarily advantage among others. We still produce really good players, in every city of this country, but most of then don´t have a agent and they simply can´t make it to professional
Daaaa, isso existe em TODOS os paises no mundo, isso de levar vantagem monetária em cima de outras é normal em TODOS OS PAÍSES DO MUNDO.
geralmente que fica falando que isso é jeitinho brasileiro são acéfalos da extrema direita
True, if you don’t have proper agent, you can have talent and work ethic, but no one is gonna hear of you. I think no one feares Brazil anymore, they are good team, but not invincible.
So you mean that the problem is the Brazilian culture which is corrupted and mainly interested in making a quick buck? Explains why Brazil is getting worse and worse...
Furthermore, i want to say as a dutchman and Ajax fan, that seeing Ronaldo(R9) comming up in de Eredivisie was amazing, he is still one of my favorites of all time. The Ajax team of that time was even better, but PSV was amazing with Ronaldo and Nilis. Interesting as well, is that Ronaldo said that Nilis is favorite partner in the attack of everybody. The intervieuwer was shocked.
Brasil, and Brasilian football is special. Like the football from The Netherlands. Unique.
The best is that they keep playing in there own style, despite of winning or losing.
For me the most special player i have seen play is Ronaldo, el Phenomeno. But the most amazing player off all time is for me Johan Cruijff. Maybe, 'bias' because of The Netherlands.
The Brasil shirt will always stay special.
Those knees.. those damned knees of Ronaldo. Van Basten and Ronaldo are the biggest what if stories of Football.

2018 and 2022 squad were good
As an Argentinian I applaud the release of this video 👍👍
One thing I'd like to see discussed more with this topic: If Brazil is doing so poorly, why does Argentina keep winning? Argentine players also get shipped off to Europe at a young age, but somehow Argentina is still dominant. What makes the difference? Can Brazil learn from their rivals and adapt to a new world?
Argentina has not been as dominant ad you claim. It took them 36 years to win another world cup .There good performances have mainly been as a result of the extra ordinary talent of Messi and also the brilliance of Dimaria who has been prone to injury .When Dimaria got injured in the 2014 world cup semi finals, the burden was solely Messi to carry the team against a very formidable German side and they ended up loosing to Germany in extra time.
Diferent aproach. Argentina used to debate between bilardo or menotti.. very different way of thinking. But bilardo won. Nowdays a Hard foul or taclke Will get praised in argentina .. you have to "meter huevos" .. play with a knife between your theeth..
Brazilians would never be allowed to play a río de la plata stile of football.. they cant .
Btw argentina won under MESSI and di maría (with a team of hardworkers behind) .. is not like they didnt need the second coming of Maradona to win...
Argentina has been dominant for 4 or 5 years, after nearly 30 years of winning nothing and wasting most of the prime years of arguably the best player ever. So, I would not draw any conclusions yet…
@@SsaliJoel-ig9pl Brazil has consistently failed against the first tough European team they meet since the 2006 World Cup. Argentina may have had a trophy drought between 1993 and 2021, but they still managed to go all the way to the final in 2014 (and very nearly win it, too). They sure did a lot better than 7-1, even without the host advantage.
Brazil seems to do alright in CONMEBOL (until recently), but they can't beat European teams. Argentina can, even before their recent winning streak.
Argentina is plain better in most sports.
Argentina are better in more sports than brazil sich as boxing, rugby, basketball, handball, etc.
Brazil haa fallen off
The world cached up with Brazil, not with skills or talent but with gameplay and tactics, that's what happened.
No, thats absolutely not wha happened
Now they only need to win 5 world cup
It's not a talent issue. Brazil has mediocre coaching. There is no elite Brazilian manager. A lot of Brazil's best managers would be middle tier in a country like Argentina. Just look at the best coaches coaching in Brazil Serie A. They're not even Brazilian. Brazil needs to hire someone like Abel Ferreira from Palmeiras, if they can. But Brazil has too much pride in hiring Brazilian-born managers. Making the World Cup is far more important.

As an Argentinian, Brazil isn’t in decline. Not even close nor in my lifetime at least. When Neymar was the star of Brazil, especially when Brazil stopped calling up Ronaldinho and kaka in the early 2010s. Many were saying Brazil was in decline in that decade. Now that Messi-Ronaldo aren’t irrelevant, many Brazilians now are giving Neymar the credit he should’ve gotten. Brazil wool always have a great abundance of players left and right. Even at theyre worse stage, they have always been better than Argentina post Maradona. Argentina to be fair was overhyped for many years, and it wasn’t until Messi came along and then put Argentina at the same level as Brazil, Germany, Spain, and Italy in the 2010s. Brazil will be back I’m sure soon. I really would like to see Neymar win the WC, so he can finally say we are in the Neymar era of greatness.
Y si, a cualquier futbolero le gustaría ver a Neymar ganar algo.
Totalmente cierto, cómo argentino opino lo mismo sobre brasil. Esta sufriendo lo que nosotros sufrimos durante años sin haber ganado un título
I'm brazilian so I'm biased to say, but i'm more worried with post-Messi argentina than with post-Neymar generation, cuz Brazil still got very young Rodrygo/Vini/Endrick, but I don't think De Paul and Lautaro will be able to keep the squad on the very top. Not to mention Di Maria is also retiring soon, and their absence will make a HUGE impact. I know Argentina did win against Brazil in last matchs and is playing much better, just saying I can't see young generation being very promising though
@@marcosyy87 like I said, Brazil will always be great no matter what. Argentina will be okay, but not as great. Post Maradona up until 2010. Argentina was decent but overrated. Who knows when we will have another Argentinian legend. I don’t think anytime soon. But now we can be more comparable against Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands and Spain.
Newmar is physicaly weak, multiple injury will not bring him to highest level, he is not Ronaldo nazario, i remember R9 also haunted by multiple injury, but he is still show his quality and bring Brazil go to 2 world cup final and win one.

Defense is just so rigorous and disciplined nowadays. I am not sure the samba style would flourish even if they had maintained it. It will be interesting to see how the game continues to evolve. Already people talk about some few teams who go back to a more flashy or less orderly style, in an attempt to subvert Pep's influence all across Europe. A few Dutch teams, etc, who are doing surprisingly well sometimes. But it seems a long way off.
Samba style? What the fuck is this supposed to be?
I feel like ending the video with that spin move is some nasty work lmao. Another banger of a vid man, keep it up!
Brazilian here, for us, one of the reasons of this decline is the celebrity status. The players today, have so many millions of followers and millions on their bank account, for them, doesn't matter if they win or not. If they lose, they just say "next time we try again" ...
This isn't the winner mentality they should have.
Their mentality is weak, they always have an excuse to play bad.
Neymar is one of the worst things that happened to us, he is weak and never recognize his mistakes, and his mentality is influencing the other players.
The truth is, in Brasil, Neymar is considered a fraud, CBF is a cancer, and the people has 0 identification with the national team.

Funny comment, Neymar is actually the main symbol of this failed generation, but instead of chosing him you put Endrick in the thumbnail who barely began his carrer, and is far from being one of the players underperforming in the national team (even Vini Jr. would make more sense).

Argentina only shines under Goat. Messi was Argentina's first player to reach a World Cup final since Maradona. Compared to that, the situation in Brazil is not bad. Look at Italy, how far they have fallen. now people don't even mention it. Germany also in decline, Doesn't Brazil have the highest average performance in the World Cup?
How psv went from having romario in his whole prime for 5 years to getting R9 as his succesor is unbelievable
As someone who's been following football since the late 60's modern football just doesn't really excite me anymore. It's just too passionless, homogenous, suffocatingly rigid, devoid of flair and almost robotic and entirely money driven. When 22 robots eventually take the field I doubt you'll even notice it.
as brazilian i think its a good thing this happened, people here used to care more about football than their societal issues
Brazil is still traumatized from 2014. Tactics overall have gotten too monotonous. And the sport has now become a new bourgeois sport.
You reminded me Giovanni from WC98 Former Santos & Olympiakos legend! What a player! A very underrated player!
Bit of a hot take but i feel theyve been ruined by new age european tactics.
If you can't keep up with competition then that doesn't mean they are ruined, but couldn't compete/adapt
1:42 I will not tolerate this Bolivia slander when we actually have trophies and WC appearances to our name, there’s a clear candidate which has neither 👀
Get outta here with your one trophy in 60 years and 1 WC goal ever
@@vibequest6817 still better than 0 and 0 from Venezuela though
The current Brazilian squad lacks a leader and a world class midfielder.
They have got 2 of the best goalkeepers in the world, Alison and Ederson,
And with the likes of Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Neymar, Raphinha, Richarlison, Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Endrick and Savio at their disposal they are the envy of many national football teams.
But they do not possess a world class midfielder.
Would only disagree with Raphinba being a top player, and Alisson and Ederson don't perform with the NT
@@luccavalentinw.fiorini2302so raphinha isn’t a top
Player but richarlison Gabriel Jesus and these others are?
@@СуренСамирович no neither Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus and Raphinha are top players, but the momentum they came at the 2022 WC was better then today... They are all 7/10 players, but with the right momentum they can reach a 8/10 lvl.
As for the WC performance, Richarlison was great, while Raphinha and Gabriel Jesus were terrible
Rafinha martinelli Jesus richalison 😂
That's shows their current level
World Class players-
Neymar, Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Allison and Ederson
Good players-
Richarlison, Raphinha, Martinelli, G Jesus
Average players-
Paqueta, Danilo, Renan Lodi
High potential players-
Endrick, Savio, Pedro
Im Brazilian and defo from now on i must hear ,see it feel it and breathe english footballl just because u guys are just better......never mind be 5 stars we won it AWAY
I lived to see the 2002 zenith and the 2014 downfall.
If they don't make WC26 then that's the final nail in the coffin.
Brazil missing out the upcoming World Cup was considered a "humiliation" for the whole country and FIFA. The country had always qualified for every single World Cup. As for FIFA, it's a big shame considering the 2026 edition has 48 teams, with CONMEBOL having 6 automatic spots + 1 winner from the playoff.
Brazil will definitely qualify. I’m certain.
The main problem with current Brazil team is that they don’t have a proper midfield. The midfielders are literally very average players. If it’s set then half of the problems are solved.
That 90s/00s generation was pure skill, dedication - one of the best team in history. Today Brasil feels more like instagram boys - with tattoos and crazy haircuts, some skill is still there at the cost of one little contact and they fall in pain, hoping for foul.
Exactly 💯 that's all they are now. Pretty boys with tats on the arm and design haircut 💈 s.

goddamn that 1997 brasil squad and the mundial france 98 really make my eyes teary.
once football was authentic and passionate compared to todays sold out shit
Agree with defensive players not being the focal point of Brazilian football, however Bremer is world class, underrated defender
Brasil had ballers.. We need a bit more of Brasil in Modern Football..
Antony has entered the chat...
Ronaldinho is and will always be my favorite soccer player. thanks to him I started to like and play soccer.
Tbf, the power gap between Brazil and the other countries is getting smaller, so football is getting more competitive world wide.
The evolution of football is more rewarding to high level athletes than to football magicians with flair.
Great video but 2002 wasn't effortless AT ALL. They had a reaaaally hard time as well.
They really didn't. Scored 11 and conceded 3 in the group then comfortably won every knockout round game. The only moment the entire tournament they were under threat was around 20 minutes when they were behind to England.
@@Mewtwosmrmime he probably means the wc qualifier
@@Mewtwosmrmime You're totally right but Turkey gave us a hard time as well
@@ScheppundFries Yes, I wasn't specific enough, thanks
It wasn't effortless but the best example of the best team winning, and looking good doing it
As a Brazilian, I can only express my sadness. Our young stars are sold to Europe for millions of dollars at the age of 16/17. Although it is not a rule, the vast majority of young players seem to play without the soul that the older ones had.
I fell in love with soccer / football when I lived in Brasil in 2019. Hearing the cheers every time they scored at Copa America was enough for me to be hooked on the sport for life. Watching the national team struggle these past few years has been tough, and most of the Brazilians I know are frustrated with the play, but I have faith that I will witness a new era where o jogo bonito dominates the global sport. It’s still Brasil, and the sport still belongs to them.
It's not their sport. Football is a European sport, actually from England. Brazil was hot from the 1960's to the early 00"s. But you have an emotional response to things it seems. I wonder where come from..
Reminds me a lot of my own country's football leagues. There was a time when people used to play out of love but at some point our players get caught up in fashion and celebrity status rather than actual talent.
At least we still have futsal.
Great video, watched it 2 times.
Thank you for mentioning that Brazils downfall worked out well for Argentina, because I've been saying since like 2019 copa america that Argentina has easy way of winning it, no competition, and people keep hating and attacking me for it. But the truth is, Copa America became more frequent, and less exciting, it was Argentina vs Brazil last few years and Brazil's downfall is making Copa America 1 team league, and it will be like this for a while. Also Joga Bonito team made me fall in love with football, and it makes me sad that foodball isnt that kind of magic anymore, its all scoring and titles and acting and diving, but it used to be MAGIC. never forget Ronaldinho, the best ever player to touch the ball.
Where do you find all this old match footage ?
In the 1998 final France was not ‘the underdog ‘. They played on homeground and also had Zidane. The Brasilian team was in turmoil because Ronaldo had suffered from an epileptic fit just the day before the final - so he was unable to play welll as is perfectly clear by watching that final.
As a German, I prefer to say nothing. 😅
You won 7-1. What else can you say🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another nation that had it's footballing identity ruined by Pep...
Guten Tag
What about you saying : "As a German my country was responsible for 2 world wars which indiscriminately killed millions and millions of people" .
Ps: German has also lost a word cup final to Brazil. Don't forget 2002 MF

13:01 I tuned in to watch football after a long time during 2018 world cup and I got see Hazard terrorizing the team that day can't believe its been over 6 years now
