FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[nullama]

~snip~
I am not sure what impact the new coach will have on the performance of the Brazilian national team. Their poor performance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup and also during the CONMEBOL World Cup qualification tournament so far can be attributed to imbalance in the team and overdependence on certain players. Even if Carlo Ancelotti becomes the coach, what he can do about it? And the recent injury issue with Neymar also contributed a lot to their poor form. These are things beyond Ancelotti's control.

Their performance is still quite alright really, it's just that the expectations from Brazil is that they win every single match.

The south american qualification is actually quite competitive, probably the most difficult in the entire world, and it's not an easy thing to qualify there.

Just because Brazil has lost a few more matches than usual doesn't mean they won't be able to qualify to this one.

The reason for Brazil's recent bad performance is their coaching panel. They just can’t seem to be guiding their team on the right path. In the 2014 World Cup, they had a humiliating defeat in the semi finals against Germany on their own home soil. I thought that in that World Cup they would have completed their Hexa. But both in 2018 or 2022 they have failed to go further than Quarter Finals losing against not so strong teams.

There are rumors that Ancelotti would be coming to Brazil at the end of the season which I think would be a good thing for the Brazil National team. He is a coach who can bring the best out of the team he has been given. If he can do as he is expected, they can probably get back on their winning days.

I actually can't agree that a new coach cannot change the team!! A manager controls the team, controls how they play, and all that stuff. Look at what Pep Guardiola has achieved with Manchester City, do you think other managers can do it and win the Premier leagues a few times in a row like it was nothing?

Ancelotti on the other hand knows how to handle his team. As I have said earlier, he brings the best out of the team that he has been given. Neymar is not the only player in the Brazil team who can play well, they have new youngsters right now who have already achieved more than Neymar. I am not saying they are better than Neymar; they have the potential to become better than him. Neymar's injury will have an impact on the team but they have to work with what they have. And Neymar needs to be consistent about being fit as well. They have very good wingers right now, for example, Gabriel Marinelli, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, and many more.

Nobody should expect Carlo Ancelotti to perform miracles in the Brazilian national team. He will need time to study the players and build the team to become more standard. The Italian is known for integrating young players with experienced ones like we are currently seeing in Real Madrid. The 2024 Copa America will be a big test for the current Real Madrid coach if he is finally hired by the Seleção Canarinha.

I don't think the Brazilian national team is still depending on players like Neymar. For the past three years, the Brazilian international career has taken a downturn due to injuries. Young players like Raphinha, Rodrygo, Vinícius Júnior, and Gabriel Martinelli can easily prove the quality they are worth in Neymar's absence.  Ancelotti have refused to refute the news that he might move to Brazil but it seems he is more focused on his current job making him unable to speak of his future.

Well, I know there are many fans worldwide and we are all excited about football, I don't deny it, seeing how Brazil is doing in the World Cup, it has to start playing very well because the best player right now in the World Cup qualifiers is Argentina. I don't know why Brazil is in a state of shock right now, but they are not doing very well, they are going through a crisis in their football, because they have drawn and lost games, even when they are not in their poropia home, maybe it is something they are in a state of shock, that I don't know how to explain, I hope they improve, because it is very difficult to determine which countries are going to the World Cup, even though I say Brazil will always be one of the favorites, just like Argentina, France and Germany, but this World Cup I have all the faith that Italy will go, so we have to look at things, because I don't see Italy in these predictions, and Italy is a good team, they have a very good local league, in fact right now I like how Juve and Inter are playing , and that gives a lot of motivation to things.

Now, we are people who have been seeing everything that is possible to do, for example things in the next World Cup will be different, it is the first time that 3 countries will do it and that seems great to me, the fact is that I believe that everything will focus on the USA, which seems great to me, just as it was in 1994 when it was a great World Cup, but a very sad World Cup for Colombia because it was that fateful own goal they scored that later cost the player his life. I still remember that even though it was very small, but things are like that, so given that the World Cup has always been 1 or 2 countries at most, this will be an experiment that I think will be very successful, because it will have 3 more venues. games because there are more selections to play, this seems super spectacular to me because the things that can happen here are different, now, when we think about what the world championship will be, it excites me more, due to the fact that we have more days of world.

It's certainly difficult to predict the winner of any World Cup and I think the majority thought that France would make it Qatar. And if we are honest, history is brutal because it is written everywhere that Argentina won it and nobody will ever talk about France except for those who saw the game or are French. Argentina worked harder and that is why the game brought forward the right winner in my opinion, but it should be mentioned that once this went into the penalty shootout, really, it could have been France as well.

Italy, interesting you bring this up. I haven't paid a lot of attention to them in the last few months. We still have the European Championship before the World Cup and then we can go from there. But since these odds are out right now, I think nothing justifies to put Brazil at the top. If anything, it should have probably been France with a very slight advantage. But giving 50% higher odds for Argentina than for Brazil is puzzling to me. I thought about it and I can't come up with an explanation no matter how hard I try.

That's the way it is, it's not for nothing but it just occurs to me, what's the point of Ancelotti taking charge of the Italian team? It would be a very pleasant surprise indeed, because he is leaving Madrid and if his next project were the boys from Italy it would be a great surprise for all of us who are big fans of football in general, for that reason it is because I I think that when it comes to doing things well we have an architect like Ancelotti, architect of winning teams, now, what I think is something, Brazil now has no focus, things are going wrong and it could be that things may happen for better or worse, but given the way Brazil is, I think there will be pleasant surprises for the other day of the World Cup qualifiers, because basically Brazil is a titapna and it may be bad for now, but The Copa América is approaching, there is enough time for them to get involved with the South American teams in a more direct way, and this can make them raise the level.

Regarding Argentina, well what can I say? That as long as they have Messi, the most likely thing is that they will get very high, and that things will go well for them, and that's all I can say, but what about the other teams in Europe? They are undoubtedly strong , but the team that I can see that can give a good surprise is the Portuguese team, it is a team that personally has a lot to offer and has a lot to give so that it can do its best, for that reason We have to see a lot of the performance they have had, they are also seeing the Euro, it is very probable that they can win, also as I said, these championships serve to gain knowledge and see well how they can face each other in the European Qualifiers , which I find it very exciting , and as far as I can I don't like to miss a Single game , sometimes it's difficult for me, but I try to see them all, because it is a majestic level of Football.

In Brazil they respect the superstar player too much and even if they have weak performances for some months, people still lose the players, Neymar is a known and famous superstar player in Brazil, and people in this country want to see him play for their team. However, he has been really disappointing so far and I think Brazil can start investing on younger players they have in this country instead of hoping for an old player like him.

Neymar is an amazing player if he had some more resilience on the pitch and was less prone to injuries. The problem I have with Neymar is that he comes across as if a lot outside of soccer means more to him than the sport. I am not talking about family or something, but lifestyle and all the other shit like parties. Some people are more prone to injuries than others, but if a superstar like him doesn't live the superstar style that gives him maximum recovery health, I can't feel sorry for him when he gets disregarded over time. What a great player he can be. But heroic worship Neymar receives from the fans will probably soon come to an end as he couldn't deliver what they were wishing for.

I don't agree with you about the current situation of Neymar in Brazil because I don't him as an amazing player anymore but I think Neymar was a good player when he was younger and more stable for his teams but these days Neymar is far from his good form and he usually gets injured for a long time.
However, Neymar is not guilty of it because of his playing style but I think Brazil should start seeking for other players.

Brazil was well prepared for their hexa mission in Qatar World Cup 2022. They almost won a few matches in the beginning. From the performance of Brazil after the 2022 World Cup, we can certainly understand that the Brazilian team has gone down a lot since the 2022 World Cup, they are not performing so well. The Brazil team has a number of players missing from their national team, especially Neymar's absence, which affects the team a lot. Therefore, the Brazilian team should prepare well for the 2026 World Cup so that they can complete the hexa mission of the 2026 World Cup.

Neymar is superstar, and he needs to do something better for the better performance of his team but sadly as mentioned things are not going as Brazilian team needed so this is problem I want to clear everyone can live as he wants parties or what he is doing it's his personal commitments, but he needs to give his best as player it's more important right now he is out with injury, and they have good time for the recovery hopefully he will be ready until next match and will give his best with they are still had many opportunities for the better results and having place into world cup but for this all having fully committed it's more important.

We already talked about new coach and his responsibilities but currently nothing is clear as Federation is doing his best and most chances something positive will happen with new generation players needs to be followed of their legendarily which keep things at their best for the game and country.

You have done all points very accurately in few words which are not difficult to understand as Brazil is having one of the best team with too many stars around, and they can fight back always with having good and solid things to do for the qualification, but currently they are on some problems which also needs to be fixed before any big problem.

Every team wants to jump into qualification with full strength which is surely create good competition and with this all sometime results like these can create mess-up but in coming days all will be on their right side with new coach problems is still hanging as few are claiming Carlos Ancelotti is coming, but we have nothing official from him or Real Madrid with Zidane is already rejected this offer as he only wants France national team for his next job so what is going to happen it's will be clear after end of this European clubs season.

Neymar was the only star player in the current Brazil national team. But then he got injured and it impacted their 2022 World Cup campaign as well as the CONMEBOL qualifiers. Team balance also seems to be poor in case Neymar is not playing. There are promising players in their squad, such as Gabriel Jesus, Richarlison, Raphinha and Vinícius Júnior. But these players perform poorly while representing the Brazilian national team although they are always in peak form while playing for their respective clubs.

In my opinion, with the 2026 World Cup in mind, Brazil needs to prepare itself to not rely on Neymar, because there's no way to be sure that he'll be able to play in 2026, there are too many problems off the field and too many injuries

Great players are really in their prime playing for European teams, like Vini JR and Rodrygo from Real Madrid and M. City goalkeeper Ederson
There's also the great Endrick (Palmeiras) , who in 2026 will be 20 years old and probably playing for Real Madrid. He's fully capable of being Brazil's big star
And I don't even need to say that there are some great players who haven't managed to play well together in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
With a new coach and two or three changes, I think Brazil can get on track again, but for 2026 there's still a long way to go which will be particularly difficult for Brazil, and other teams are already better prepared, such as France, England and Spain for example

I wouldn't say Neymar is the only star player in the Brazilian Squad. His performance has not been up to the mark in recent times. Ancelotti is rumored to be taking over Brazil's management. He can bring the best out of the squad that he has been given. The 2021-22 Real Madrid UEFA Champions League was an example. He made Benzema won a Ballon D’or. So if he can join the team, I think Brazil can do good in the World Cup 2026 and probably can complete their hexa world cup dream.

Brazil has players full of talent and I believe Ancelotti can bring the best out of them. He is already managing MIlitao, Vini Jr, and Rodrygo. So he is used to train them which is even better.

Neymar will absent on Copa America after confirming his injury need longer time for recovering, its not problem for Carlo Ancelotti will be Brazil head coach on Copa America because he has many alternative with attacking line from Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Endrick, Gabriel Jesus and Richarlison. I believe under Carlo Ancelotti have work with many top Brazil players with club not get difficult for them how to understand with Ancelotti scheme.
I think most important for Ancelotti how to get fans trusted how to get good achievement on Copa America before facing match in World Cup qualifier, left few months later Brazil will play on Copa America and give first trophy will make Ancelotti easily for target winning FIFA World Cup 2026.

Yeah but the question is, will Ancelotti become the Brazil manager for the world cup?
Not every Brazilian agrees that they must hire him, even their President does not agree about that.
Madrid will also offer him a big sum of money to extend his contract. Madrid is on the right track under Ancelotti, they will do their best to keep Ancelotti there for the next season.

The biggest question currently is Carlos Ancelotti going or not with no one available for the question, and we have to wait until June 2024 as this season will be ended then all updates will be available because few months back I also read they have deal for the two years and Carlos Ancelotti will be done this job until 2026 world cup, but now few are giving updates now Real Madrid is trying to extend his contract which can create problems because currently he is doing good job at this club, and they are also happy with having trophies are coming but still nothing is clear.

Brazil having too many quality players, but those are having somebody chemistry issue which is preventing them from having better results, so this problem needs a good coach which can bring better depth between players for having better results.

if we take Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. What is the other South American national team that could be considered strong? if we take Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. What is the other South American national team that could be considered strong? it does not have. Venezuela is weak, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Chile, Bolivia, Peru are all weak teams. Brazil and Argentina are very strong and were lucky to be in an area made up of extremely weak teams, which is why even if Brazil is in that bad situation, it has not become a big danger to the point that they are thinking about dismissing the national coach. If Brazil were in Europe in some qualification group, they would not qualify, because Europe is the place where there is strong competition for qualification. Netherlands, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Denmark, Greece, Ukraine... there are many strong teams in Europe

and the competition in Europe is very strong, unlike in South America which is dominated by Brazil and Argentina, Ugruguay has also managed to impose itself, but has not achieved great things when they reach the World Cup. In my opinion, Europe will dominate football for many long years, because they invest a lot in football and love football and every year more teams from Europe are improving, while in South America the situation of local leagues has not evolved , just see that 90% of the players on South American national teams are players who play on European teams, this is because even South Americans themselves know that Europe is more competitive

Yes, I certainly agree with you. The bigger thing is to get the players to get along with Ancelotti and I think Ancelotti will be able to achieve this as he is already training a few of them like Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, etc. Although he is not Brazilian, he can control them and get along with the team very well.

The new Brazilian team is very young and very promising. Until the 2026 team arrives they are going to be more mature as a player and probably will be looking to win the World Cup. They actually can probably win the 2026 and complete their hexa dream.

However, Neymar is not guilty of it because of his playing style but I think Brazil should start seeking for other players.

No doubts neymar used to be a very good player with excellent performance and form but until recently he lost his form and no longer looks fit enough because he has suffered too many injuries and been this injury prone isn't a good thing for the Brazilian side so as to avoid been disappointed in the world cup.

If he is allowed to play for the team, considering he is currently injury prone, chances are he .ay get injured in one of the games and if the team had some level of dependency on him, it's really going to adversely affect the team so bad so it will be better if the team is able to get a better substitution probably look amongst their young players so they will be sure not to have much dependency on him and aswell position their selves to be ready for uncertainties. At this point I think on health grounds it wouldn't be really bad if Neymar decides to retire.

Neymar us arguably the best player in the Brazilian national team for the past one decade and that's why it's very understandable that the Brazilian fans are gonna miss him as he's been confirmed that he wouldn't be part of the national team that'll be playing in next Copa America. That being said, the Brazilian national team as we all know is one of the most talented national team in the world as majority of their players are big star in their respective clubs especially in Europe.
They still have star players that can perfectly fit in to the same position that Neymar Jr plays for the national team. Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr can play in place of Neymar as well his Real Madrid teammate Rodrygo. It is believed that Carlo Ancelotti will take over the management of the Brazilian national team immediately after the expiration of the current European football season which will be his last season with Real Madrid and as a manager who has been managing over four of the current Brazilian team members in his Real Madrid team, I believe he's gonna know how best to manage the Brazilian national team perfectly.

And I don't even need to say that there are some great players who haven't managed to play well together in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
With a new coach and two or three changes, I think Brazil can get on track again, but for 2026 there's still a long way to go which will be particularly difficult for Brazil, and other teams are already better prepared, such as France, England and Spain for example

Not sure if Brazil will have enough time for the 2026 World Cup to have a stronger team. Because players like Neymar are totally out of their good form and they can't definitely help the team, also Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior are both not at a good level to sine for their teams. Even Vinícius Júnior was injured two times during this season and this can show us even Vinícius Júnior can't be a radilable player for Brazil in the 206 World Cup.
I don't expect to see a good performance from Brazil in the next World Cup in 2026 unless they try to find a better coach and start investing in younger players they have to make more stable teams.
