Description
Brazil, the "samba team," is on a shaky ground. Team "Ace" Neymar had a long hiatus after collapsing due to an injury, which significantly reduced the team's capacity. The 2026 FIFA North and China only had three wins, one draw and four losses until the eighth round of the South American qualifying round for the World Cup. Both offense and defense teams are showing off their performance that is not comparable to that of Brazil, staying in the mid-range.
Brazil got off to a good start to the preliminary round in South America for the 2026 North-China World Cup. On September 9 last year (Korea time), the team invited Bolivia to its home ground and declared a landslide 5-1 victory. Neymar and Hodrigo scored multiple goals, and Hafinha scored additional goals to secure a landslide victory. The team also beat Peru 1-0 in an away game four days later. Due to Marcinos' hard-won goal at the end of the game, the team secured three points.
In the third and fourth rounds held in October last year, the team had only one draw and one loss. In the third round match held at home, the team lost face to Venezuela by tying 1-1. It then lost to Uruguay 0-2 in the fourth away match. Neymar was injured in the match, and Brazil was severely shaken afterwards.
He suffered consecutive losses in the fifth and sixth rounds that took place in November last year. He lost to Colombia 1-2 in an away game and knelt down to Argentina 0-1 in a home game as well. In the absence of Neymar, he humiliatingly suffered three consecutive losses.
He ended his losing streak at the seventh round at home on Tuesday. He invited Ecuador to his home ground and scored the finishing goal to win the match 1-0. However, he again suffered a bitter defeat in the eighth away match against Paraguay on Sunday. As the team lost 0-1, it secured its fourth loss in the Latin American qualifying round alone.
It had three wins, one draw and four losses in eight matches, 10.9 points and eight lost points, which is hardly comparable to Brazil's report card. It has more losses than wins. It was ranked fifth, the middle among the 10 teams. It is eight points behind Argentina (18 points), which is currently in the lead. It is only one point ahead of Bolivia (nine points) in eighth place. 토토사이트 모음
The team has shown very sluggish performance. It is further below Ecuador (four wins, two draws and two losses, 11 points), which was cut by three points due to disciplinary action. Although it is not in the rankings for the World Cup finals, it is also true that the team is anxious because it has yet to win the berth to the World Cup finals. In the Latin American qualifying round, the first to sixth ranking teams will secure the berth to the finals. The seventh ranking will be eliminated through intercontinental playoffs. Currently, there is only one point gap between the fifth-ranked Brazil and the seventh-ranked Paraguay (point of 9).
The Samba field team, which has started its career at the World Cup but is still shaky in the upcoming South American qualifying round, will play its ninth and 10th rounds on Nov. 11 and 15. It will have an away match against Chile on Oct. 11 and a home match against Peru on Oct. 15. If the team fails to secure a resurgent win in the two matches, it may face a bigger crisis. The South American qualifying round for the 2026 North American World Cup will run through the 18th round.
