Brazilian here, raised in the US and amateur football historian. This would amount for a freak result in the 1990s. There are no giants anymore, just a lot of media hype. Football has leveled out. Yes, there are still better players and squads but not like in the 1990s and earlier. Since Spain taught the world at large how to play possession based football and their opponents taught everyone how to defend against it, any manager with a group of professional players can play ball and get some sort of result against anyone, specially against a side in transition.
@@liam3104maybe 2015-17. Before that? Never, This team is looking BAD. They could get grouped again (Copa America 2016 we got grouped for the first time I believe). 95% of people in Brazil agree with Ronaldinho’s post, I mean those that still watch the games right now. I watched Brazil x Costa Rica and it could have been England x Slovenia 😂 Brasil used to have flair, at least when we lost, it was entertaining. Now it’s a bunch of zombies on the pitch.
@@Lucaz99 first time Brazil went out in groups was in 1987 against Chile and Venezuela(3-team groups with 1 team advancing while the last champion got directly seeded into semis)
Day 36 of requesting Zealand accept his destiny as the Penguinz0 of Football youtube and wear a plain white T-shirt for these Zealandism vids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brazil's run of draws and losses between Copa America and World Cup Qualifiers is the saddest thing I've seen happen to Brazil. My first footballing memory I remember from start to finish is Brazil 1-7 Germany.
actually crazy becauzse my first brazil football memory is their god tier team from the 94 that went on to absolutely bulldoze everytthing for the next ~10 years
Lmao My first footballing memory I remember is watching a friendly between Brasil x Portugal in 2002, pre Japan/Korea WC. Watched Figo, Pauleta, Petit, Lucio, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Gilberto Silva, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, R9, Denilson. Long gone are those days. 😔
@@noreturn2231what’s crazy is that a lot of the starters for 94 were different from 98 but the only reason we didn’t bring ROMARIO, the 94 golden boot, was because he had a fight with the coach. We still made the final. Our front 3 was Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Bebeto which was amazing. But it could have been Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Romario.
Brazilian here, I think many people have to apologize to Neymar for the burden of carrying the national team for years. We have to play with two numbers 5 because no one beyond the center backs and Danilo defends. The three above? What can I say? Vinicius receives too much and loses too much (I still think he needs to come out as a sub), Rodrygo tries too much and with Raphinha I lose hope.
I'm Brazilian - my name is not Joey - and I can explain what's going on? (At least I can try): In one word: corruption. But let's dissect what I mean by 'corruption', because there is corruption in European football and that doesn't affect the quality of their game - and here is exactly my point! Corruption exists everywhere, there is no doubt about that, the difference is how does one society work itself around the corrupted system it lives in to make it still efficient regardless of the corruption festered throughout its many segments. Basically what I am saying is that the moment money entered the game of football, many nations in Europe - and in the US as well - understood the human flaw that it is to work yourself out ONLY FOR PROFIT, and exclude progress out of the process of developing a high-quality game. In Brazil, the saying goes: "we need to get it done by yesterday" & there is also the famous maxim, "we must change the wheels of the car while driving." I am not a run-of-the-mill Brazilian, I come from a well-off family - who happens to be white, duh - and in Brazil, the run-of-the-mill, average Brazilian that wants to become a football player usually comes from the slums of Brazil - the favelas - and these kids have little to no chance in becoming great football players for a myriad of reasons, from bad nutrition, to organized crime, to former-police militias running the favelas. These kids, and their parents, they are ignorant at their core not from an innate desire to be so, but because the system is constructed in such a way that they have little to no opportunities to get out of their social status. What I am trying to say here, is that the corruption I mentioned prior has reached the Grassroots levels of scouting young potential players. In Brazil, football agents are known to be running things behind the scenes of almost EVERY single football club in the country. Basically, what I am trying to say is that, you no longer see the best players or the most talented ones playing on pitches, because whoever gets to play has achieved that status out of favors, bribes, and other types of financial incentives to the Youth Academy coaches to start their respective players amongst the team's starting eleven. Football agents here decide - on the behalf of clubs - where will their players play, and be loaned out to - and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Football agents in Brazil are loan sharks. They LOAN money to Brazilian Clubs, and in return, the club allows the agents to sign a bunch of their players to the club. The concept of "merit" has long left the corridors of football clubs in Brazil. This country is run by gangsters wearing suits, who set out a bunch of social issues to pre-occupy everyone with a myriad of bullshit so they don't pay attention to what really matters. The CBF, is by far, the most corrupt football institution in the world - more so than FIFA. In the last 10, 15 years, over five presidents of the CBF have been fired from their position for: bribes, money laundering, and even sexual harassment. Before money entered the game of football in the early to late 90s, Brazil was a force to be reckoned with because "merit" was the only way you would be able to play amongst the starting eleven. You could only pass the grassroots levels if you were really good. Nowadays, if you bribe the Youth Academy Coach of any club with some money, or a common brand new car, is the only your player will get to play, even if they suck. You might be thinking to yourself, "how was that allowed to happen?" It's not about it being allowed to happen. Brazil is a young democracy - from 1985 to this day - this country was founded, re-founded, and re-shaped by the greatest crooks that came out of Europe. All the rotten Europeans that fled after world war 2, came to Brazil, and brought with them all their crap and schemes and implemented them here. We are a country that is constantly changing the wheels, checking the oil, putting in water and gas, while the car is still driving on the road. Welcome to Brasil.
Raphinha is not a world class player. Raphinha is not even run-of-the-mill player. Raphinha is beyond regular. He is as normal as they come. He doesn't deserve a spot in the national team, much less play in Barcelona. He should have stayed at Leeds and know his place. Allison is detested here in Brazil. In Brazil, goalkeepers can't be good looking guys, they must be ugly scary looking guys. We call Allison, "alligators' arms". Neymar is done and gone. We are all tired of him. And he is tired of us. And I don't blame Neymar, because nobody at the age of 14 deserves the responsibility of being their family's breadwinner. Brazil doesn't have FullBacks anymore. The Roberto Carlos/Marcelo/Cafú era is long gone. Dorival Junior - the coach - has his job out of spite, not out of merit. The CBF does whatever it wants to shut the people up.
Costa Rica is overall, on organisational level, currently a dumpster fire. A farcry from 10 years ago, when they left the World Cup in Brazil UNDEFEATED in the quarterfinals, even winning vs Italy and Uruguay of all teams, drawing vs England, all teams who have won seven World Cups combined, yet Costa Rica won their group. And Mexico, which is always eager to reach the "fifth match", ended their run in the round of 16 yet again back then (itself a humiliation for the Mexican pundits, especially on ESPN Deportes). Costa Rica's new manager Gustavo Alfaro had to actually suspend his work for a while because of a screwup by their own FA. The FCRF actually forgot to request a work visa for him in time, so technically he was working illegally because he had the immigration status of an ordinary visitor. That was an an embarrassing and unforgivable error by the Costa Rican FA, and I can't blame the manager for it because these types of things are usually done for you. The issue has since been fixed. With that rant being said, Costa Rica drawing vs Brazil was something that made a lot of people happy and proud. I live in Costa Rica, and I can see that joy about it in their faces. It is also a welcome distraction from all the political issues in the country.
Z... you know as well as anyone, Costa Rica playing western hemisphere teams in the western hemisphere is a totally different squad compared to anything else. Sure, the names aren't there now but they still have something on this side of the planet.
As a Brazilian, i accepted the fact Brasil will never win a would cup again. The CBF( our FA) prefere to get agents money than changing tbeir ways and make things better. The players dont play with love for the seleção like when they're in their clubs, and the team doesn't have a therapist to help them after losing a match. Will i still watch the matches? Yes. Will i be surprised when we go bad? No.
Just the Raw talent Brazil had between 1970-2020 is wild. Having a top 3/5 player in the world for 5 decades! And they still have Vini Rodrygo Gabriel etc. The talent is still there. Brazil also used to be the neutral fans 1st team in tournaments.
You’re right this is Brazil team is still a top 5 team talent wise but they lost a lot of that Brazilian flair it’s hard to explain how but you can see it when they play
to be fair to aguilera he was on loan for most of last year, he certainly wouldn’t be missing out on being in the forest u21 squad. just on the outside of the first team
Props to Costa Rica to be fair. Brazil is currently rebuilding the team, the coach had only a couple of games in before this Copa America, and the former coach played a really unorthodox style of football. I think the substitutes came way too late last game too
@@damianmurillo yeah, you are absolutely right too. This makes the result even crazier for the Costa Rica squad. The defense was really solid! I'm not trying to take the blame away from Brazil, I'm just pointing that we are not in a really stable place right now
Zealand, thank you for not making Colombia your favorite! We know thg whoever you pick gets cursed and now Colombia is primed to win the copa america!!🎉🎉🎉
1:12 the Ronaldinho thing was a marketing campaign meant to criticize precisely the type of comment he "made". Personally, i think it was an awful idea and it totally backfired at the time we least needed drama.
Z, I don't know if you saw, but the 2 coaches looked like long lost cousins. Gustavo Alfaro, and Alfarinho. I assume we will be getting a Zealandism on Venezuela wiping the floor with Mechico. PS. Get well, then go for a run, then sort the background out etcétera.
Costa Rica played the game of their lives. Brazil looked brilliant. One of the best 0-0 games I’ve seen in a long time. Way better than England v Slovenia
Costa Rica doesn't have the population and the facilities to produce great players consistently, although some of our players are decent... sometimes. Our golden generation managed to produce great results 10 years ago, and they were led by an amazing manager that pushed them to their limits. Why did the NT fall off almost instantly after 2014? Because the team leaders basically stabbed the manager in the back to get him out, since he was too disciplined and they wanted to take it easy. After that, you can guesss that the usual corrupt FA decided to appoint a few terrible managers until they ruined the whole squad lol. For some reason, our NT gets fired up against big teams and suffers against smaller ones, so we're kinda expecting them to do horribly against the other teams lmao.
Zealand, here in Southamerica, WE ALL KNOW BRASIL WAS NOT THE FAVOURITE, it is actually the 4th fav. The spected final is between Argentina and Uruguay. Even Colombia is considered a superior threat, they are unbeaten in like 25 matches and beated Spain, Germany and Brasil recently.
ronaldinho was doing a marketing campaing. But the fire is there, as a brazilian, I don't think it is just the smoke. Obviously im not talking that just because of the draw, but because of the way the seleção is doing for a while now
Ronaldinho's criticism from what I've heard was a marketing stunt lol But as a brazilian I stand by what you said. The team should be way better than they've been playing. Partly, from what I've seen is a lack of in field leadership and the lack of a creative mind to link up play (or a tactic that knows how to use bruno g., lucas paqueta, etc to their full potential). Our fullbacks are not even participating that well in the build up play.. midfield is too dead in my opinion
just to be fair, generally Brazil never gave too much of a fuck to Copa America historically, we didn't play in some instances and in others we usually sent B or C teams, doesn't excuse the fact that we are dreadful and most people here are starting to mind the tournament a lot more
Don't usually bet on Brazil due to miserable odds, felt like them to score both halves at 4/11 , suffice to say I was fuming Brazil decided to not win against Costa Rica for the first time ever 😮😮
Uhhh, the Ronaldinho criticism wasn't actual criticism, it was a rexxona marketing scheme, with Ronaldinho saying those commentaries where just fans phrases
Yeah we are shit, but here some people are blaming the size of the pitch, that is too small and that helps the defense, and the brazilian coach, Dorival Junior, who isnt playing Vini as he should, Vini is isolated on the field.
i think you should chill tbh, it’s one game. england have a long history of this and also have shown it over 3 group games. i think brazil bounced back and is still a top 2-3 favorite to win the copa
Either Uruguay or Brazil, in that order, is winning this Copa América. Argentina is only winning it if Scaloni realizes Exequiel Palacios has to play instead of De Paul, and Nicolás Gonzalez should be out for Garnacho aswell.
As an American, we have great talent, but our coach is terrible. We’re gonna get knocked out too some semi competent side in the quarterfinals, please do a video on us
Romero- Lisandro Martinez is SO much better than than Miilitao-Marquinos, you don't even have to look outside this cup to find a better defensive pairing.
Brazil have a problem: bad head coaches. They are not good. Diniz was a valid experience but his play style will never fit a NT because it needs repetition... like, daily repetition. The best Brazilian manager is Tite, the one who stayed for 8 years and brought decent results, but he is not an elite head coach. The biggest talk about the NT nowadays is whether Brazil should go for a foreign manager. They tried Ancelotti but he ended up renewing with Madrid. The quality is there, but there's clearly a lack of a high level tactical approach from the previous head coaches.
Brazil ain't even making the final, might even go out in the quarter finals. Even with talented players there's just something about the team not worrking without Neymar
This is expected, we have a really young front three, a hundred wingers and not a single competent center forward, a questionable midfield, a problem on the left wingback position and a terrible coach
@@victormon7eiro how? Just because they aren’t Brazilian doesn’t mean that they aren’t important and have a future ahead. Btw, who do you think suffers more pressure: a guy that is used to playing in big stadiums and teams, or a guy that plays in the Costa Rican league playing against one of the greatest football nations ever in an incredibly big stadium? Lmao
Brasil is NEVER the favorite to win Copa America. Uruguay and Argentina always are, they always dominate that cup. Brasil is only the favorite if they have Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo at top form plus some help from guys like Kaka. Otherwise, they are never favorites. Colombia is above them in that pecking order in this cup, and in the previous generation, Chile was as well. Brasil's cup is the world cup.
im here just to say i cant concentrate on the video cause its what are you doing and not what is, and i know its probably sarcasm or something, but it just distract me so much
Rodrygo is more overrated and is actually a bad player like saka. Vini is also way too overhyped and not good enough. Midfield is the most mid ever and their starting defence is probably the best of the lot. Best players in the team are unironically allisson and ederson. Kinda insane how they could probably do a better job outfield than the rest of the trash.
@Zealandism So... the problem with Brazil is the same as England. We aren't BUILT to play this European style of football, we ARE TOO SKILLED for that pep guardiola shit, but our coaches are training players from U21 not to be stars like back then, but to be a Cog in a Machine, which FUCKING SUCKS for our National team. No more Roberto Carlos, No more Ronaldinho, No more Rivaldo, No more Kaká, No more Robinho, No more Romário, No more Pelé. All players have to play this pass the ball game that STINKS to our style of football. The street football is at an ALL TIME LOW, and i would say this is the worst rra of Brazilian football PERIOD. We need PLAYERS and not COGs, and the only solution is making our national team be less Premier League players and more La Liga/Serie A players, which is not happening because ALISSON is in the net holy fuck he is so bad, like he cannot use the Brazilian shirt. Another one is Richarlison, he has NO CONFIDENCE with the Brazilian shirt because it is way more than just a Cog in a Machine, IT IS PERSONALITY, IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY. Brazil is the best in the world not just because we developed talent to the exterior, but because we developed INCREDIBLE PLAYERS, and that's why they went to the exterior. Now the priority changed to export a good player for them, not export because the player is good for us. [Edit] MOST OF THE WORLD HAS NO REASON TO PLAY THAT "Attackers need to know how to defend" because if you are better than your opponent, this just means you have 1 less player in front. High scoring games will ALWAYS favor the better team, and coaches simply forget that to play that pass the ball bullshit that has no soul and look like a fabric from the 1900's

1:12 the Ronaldinho thing was a marketing campaign meant to criticize precisely the type of comment he "made". Personally, i think it was an awful idea and it totally backfired at the time we least needed drama.
Z, I don't know if you saw, but the 2 coaches looked like long lost cousins. Gustavo Alfaro, and Alfarinho.
I assume we will be getting a Zealandism on Venezuela wiping the floor with Mechico.
PS. Get well, then go for a run, then sort the background out etcétera.
Costa Rica played the game of their lives. Brazil looked brilliant. One of the best 0-0 games I’ve seen in a long time.
Way better than England v Slovenia
prime 2014 costa rica back?
Costa Rica doesn't have the population and the facilities to produce great players consistently, although some of our players are decent... sometimes. Our golden generation managed to produce great results 10 years ago, and they were led by an amazing manager that pushed them to their limits.
Why did the NT fall off almost instantly after 2014? Because the team leaders basically stabbed the manager in the back to get him out, since he was too disciplined and they wanted to take it easy. After that, you can guesss that the usual corrupt FA decided to appoint a few terrible managers until they ruined the whole squad lol.
For some reason, our NT gets fired up against big teams and suffers against smaller ones, so we're kinda expecting them to do horribly against the other teams lmao.
Raphinha ain’t going out of the lineup anytime soon he’s their one natural creator in the front three
Ronaldinho was playing 5d chess
Mexico, Brazil, Morocco, Croatia, & SK but sk not really. The thing is how theses giants fall so hard? It usually 1 or 2 giants.
Zealand, here in Southamerica, WE ALL KNOW BRASIL WAS NOT THE FAVOURITE, it is actually the 4th fav. The spected final is between Argentina and Uruguay. Even Colombia is considered a superior threat, they are unbeaten in like 25 matches and beated Spain, Germany and Brasil recently.
Former USMNT player Roy Lassiter’s son plays for Costa Rica.
akshually, Montréal Impact has renamed to CF Montréal, witch means Club de Foot Montréal, or, Football Club Montréal.
LOL cant wait for your video addressing panama
Argentina last to Saudi Arabia? Would you make the same analysis knowing they ended up winning the world cup?
ronaldinho was doing a marketing campaing. But the fire is there, as a brazilian, I don't think it is just the smoke.
Obviously im not talking that just because of the draw, but because of the way the seleção is doing for a while now
“Stats very much like England” and proceeds to show a team with a lot of shots and high xG.
To be honest England also threatens a lot of birds in the air with their shots
Mexico ahh performance
bottling. it's called bottling. see: tottenham hotspur, english national team, coca-cola ...
Ronaldinho's criticism from what I've heard was a marketing stunt lol
But as a brazilian I stand by what you said. The team should be way better than they've been playing.
Partly, from what I've seen is a lack of in field leadership and the lack of a creative mind to link up play (or a tactic that knows how to use bruno g., lucas paqueta, etc to their full potential).
Our fullbacks are not even participating that well in the build up play.. midfield is too dead in my opinion
just to be fair, generally Brazil never gave too much of a fuck to Copa America historically, we didn't play in some instances and in others we usually sent B or C teams, doesn't excuse the fact that we are dreadful and most people here are starting to mind the tournament a lot more
we have no plays or set pieces in front, we trust solely on individual talent, and thats why we couldnt get past them.
Yes more Copa America talk
We shit, is all.
Dinho working around the clock on those pump and dump crypto shit coins, my GOAT
the country he picked to win the whole thing btw
Don't usually bet on Brazil due to miserable odds, felt like them to score both halves at 4/11 , suffice to say I was fuming Brazil decided to not win against Costa Rica for the first time ever 😮😮
Of course tbr game I decide to go see live was 0-0 🤦♂️
Based zealand
Uhhh, the Ronaldinho criticism wasn't actual criticism, it was a rexxona marketing scheme, with Ronaldinho saying those commentaries where just fans phrases
Yeah we are shit, but here some people are blaming the size of the pitch, that is too small and that helps the defense, and the brazilian coach, Dorival Junior, who isnt playing Vini as he should, Vini is isolated on the field.
Brasil are giving out donations
Zealand come to Brasil porra, drink caipirinha and dance samba
toes 😻
i think you should chill tbh, it’s one game. england have a long history of this and also have shown it over 3 group games. i think brazil bounced back and is still a top 2-3 favorite to win the copa
Either Uruguay or Brazil, in that order, is winning this Copa América. Argentina is only winning it if Scaloni realizes Exequiel Palacios has to play instead of De Paul, and Nicolás Gonzalez should be out for Garnacho aswell.
Wait till you see what Panama did with USA
I want a refund after goin to dat stinky ahh match
Anyone else hear the music at the start? 😂
Bruh, Peru got away with no punishment for a straight up headbutt vs Canada and Vinicius is crying and expecting a penalty over a body check?
You forgot handball that would have gave a tie for Jamaica
As an American, we have great talent, but our coach is terrible. We’re gonna get knocked out too some semi competent side in the quarterfinals, please do a video on us
The Costa Rica team it's not even half the players that went to Qatar my dude, new players and young players
Romero- Lisandro Martinez is SO much better than than Miilitao-Marquinos, you don't even have to look outside this cup to find a better defensive pairing.
Brazil have a problem: bad head coaches. They are not good. Diniz was a valid experience but his play style will never fit a NT because it needs repetition... like, daily repetition. The best Brazilian manager is Tite, the one who stayed for 8 years and brought decent results, but he is not an elite head coach. The biggest talk about the NT nowadays is whether Brazil should go for a foreign manager. They tried Ancelotti but he ended up renewing with Madrid. The quality is there, but there's clearly a lack of a high level tactical approach from the previous head coaches.
Brazil ain't even making the final, might even go out in the quarter finals. Even with talented players there's just something about the team not worrking without Neymar
Only Argentina is currently relevant in CONCACAF. Brazil is not what it used to be...
CONMEBOL se dice
10:20 i mean argentina is also kinda shit
i'd bet on uruguay.
This is expected, we have a really young front three, a hundred wingers and not a single competent center forward, a questionable midfield, a problem on the left wingback position and a terrible coach
Being young is not really an excuse since Costa Rica have the youngest team in the tournament lol
Playing 2/3 pacey Wingers is actually the meta these days tho.
@@fifamobilefan471 the level of pressure for a young player in Costa Rica is not comparable in any shape or form to a 20 year old brazilian
@@victormon7eiro how? Just because they aren’t Brazilian doesn’t mean that they aren’t important and have a future ahead. Btw, who do you think suffers more pressure: a guy that is used to playing in big stadiums and teams, or a guy that plays in the Costa Rican league playing against one of the greatest football nations ever in an incredibly big stadium? Lmao
😞
I'm early just for the chest hair. And I'm disappointed.
Brasil is NEVER the favorite to win Copa America. Uruguay and Argentina always are, they always dominate that cup. Brasil is only the favorite if they have Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo at top form plus some help from guys like Kaka. Otherwise, they are never favorites. Colombia is above them in that pecking order in this cup, and in the previous generation, Chile was as well. Brasil's cup is the world cup.
I wanted to watch this game but had a flight during it,thank god i didn’t watch it
im here just to say i cant concentrate on the video cause its what are you doing and not what is, and i know its probably sarcasm or something, but it just distract me so much
Rodrygo is more overrated and is actually a bad player like saka. Vini is also way too overhyped and not good enough. Midfield is the most mid ever and their starting defence is probably the best of the lot.
Best players in the team are unironically allisson and ederson. Kinda insane how they could probably do a better job outfield than the rest of the trash.
So basically brazil = belgium loads of indiviual quality fuck all teamplay fuck all motivation and fire and the worst coach in the goddamn world
Brazil must learn to play football again instead of being abunch of diving crybabies.
they will draw against paraguay, then loose to colombia, botch team, never compare vinicius to neymar ever again
@Zealandism So... the problem with Brazil is the same as England. We aren't BUILT to play this European style of football, we ARE TOO SKILLED for that pep guardiola shit, but our coaches are training players from U21 not to be stars like back then, but to be a Cog in a Machine, which FUCKING SUCKS for our National team. No more Roberto Carlos, No more Ronaldinho, No more Rivaldo, No more Kaká, No more Robinho, No more Romário, No more Pelé.
All players have to play this pass the ball game that STINKS to our style of football. The street football is at an ALL TIME LOW, and i would say this is the worst rra of Brazilian football PERIOD.
We need PLAYERS and not COGs, and the only solution is making our national team be less Premier League players and more La Liga/Serie A players, which is not happening because ALISSON is in the net holy fuck he is so bad, like he cannot use the Brazilian shirt. Another one is Richarlison, he has NO CONFIDENCE with the Brazilian shirt because it is way more than just a Cog in a Machine, IT IS PERSONALITY, IT IS A RESPONSIBILITY. Brazil is the best in the world not just because we developed talent to the exterior, but because we developed INCREDIBLE PLAYERS, and that's why they went to the exterior.
Now the priority changed to export a good player for them, not export because the player is good for us.
[Edit] MOST OF THE WORLD HAS NO REASON TO PLAY THAT "Attackers need to know how to defend" because if you are better than your opponent, this just means you have 1 less player in front. High scoring games will ALWAYS favor the better team, and coaches simply forget that to play that pass the ball bullshit that has no soul and look like a fabric from the 1900's
