That's English football for a century, most scoreless draws in WC history for a reason, to cover for below average attack. Not like Southgate's responsible for the identity they've forged long before he played let alone managed
@@davimathias6721 Brazil have been eliminated in the quarters by mediocre teams in 4 of the last 5 world cups. The one time they made it to tbe semi, they got demolished by German. So its only fair not to expect much from them.
@@mauromatos3124France in 2006 was very good, Holland in 2010 was also good, in 2018 despite the defeat to Belgium, Brazil was clearly better in that match, there were still controversial refereeing moves that FIFA itself admitted the error, in 2022 Brazil played better than Croatia the entire game, our best player Neymar scores a beautiful goal and the team was unable to hold on to the result, Croatia only had 1 shot on goal the entire match, in 2014 Neymar's injury really shook the entire team, but what what happened in that match is almost inexplicable
People underestimated Brazil way too much, even the Brazilian media. They thought Brazil was gonna get a beating. Brazil's coach is very good. Good for him for preparing the squad for this game. Brazil has great players still. Respect Brazil!
I don't its quite right to say ppl are wrong about Brazil and that they are under-rated. Brazil are in transition and the younger very talented players are coming through and getting important match time with a new manager. Let them breath, Brazil will find their way back. This was a very good win by them.
stop going overboard. Brazil got a lucky win due to Southgate picking Dunk who should not be anywhere near this team, making a mistake. If England has a better coach who knows how to coachi elite players and attacking football, Brazil would be smashed by England and they would be destroyed by any European team with a good coach because I found Brazil low quality
@@danielakanji7305 I know English coaches are bad to mediocre, that is why I hope the rumour that Guardiola wants to coach England after Man City is true. England under Guardiola would be different story, no Maguire, Dunk, Gallagher, Gordon or Henderson in the team. In comes TAA, Eze, Mainoo, Lewis, Elliot White and an attacking pattern of play that gets England playing to the potential if the players.
The best English players at their clubs play with great foreign players with great coaches. Then they get to England with Maguire and Chilwell and Gallagher and Henderson and a third rate coach like Southgate!! That’s the problem
@@myearsgotyouthsystem8802Tbf not all England players are mediocre. Mainoo and Bellingham are an example of this. Mainoo isn't better than Gavi, but he sure has better physical abilities that separates him from a regular, Spanish player that can play with the ball. Bellingham is Bellingham. Walker is a proper RB that not many can hang with, and Phoden is the Stockport Iniesta. These are good players, but not world class which the media portrays them as.
See this is what everyone in Europe want: An English geezer having hopes for England in the Euros, only to underwhelmingly exiting the tournament with another Southgate masterclass and the geezer shouting „Oh, f*ck off!!“ while downing another pint.
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. That's their level, no manager can change that
@@BC-th3mx Thanks, finally someone speaking facts. I think we all can agree that Brazil isn't at their best atm but historically Brazil has and probably will always be the stronger team. History cannot be changed.
@@gustoaudio8711England were almost winning euro under Southgate. And this was first assignment for Brazil's coach. You can always blame the coach but sometimes players need to do take blame too
@@arafatahmed3454at least with this game you can't blame the players when Southgate picked them. For example chilwell was the worst player on the pitch and he's not good enough for the team. The good thing is this is a friendly so a good manager would take the players that didn't perform and make sure they're nowhere near the team during Euros
I didn't realize Vinicius Jr was so terrible at finishing. 1v1 against the keeper and only got off a slow dribbling shot that overrated, self-proclaimed-fastest-man-on-the-pitch Kyle Walker was able to catch up to. And the kid who scored for Brasil is probably worse. Brasil's xG was 2.8 but only managed to score just 1. Brasil is as overhyped as England.
Funny.... ''one of the worst Brazil sides ever''. Brazil's coach DEBUT, a lot of injuries, a lot of young players starting their international careers... but still, winning... and should be 3, 4-0 to Brazil. Even with this ''bad side'', Brazil have more talent than any other country in the world. Clear to see. But we know the agenda.
Yes and no, England definitely used to be heavily overrated but they’ve developed probably a top 5/6 team in the world in the last 4/5 years, they’ve got the most depth in full backs, lots of great wingers, Kane a brilliant top 3 striker in the world , a world class midfielder, strong solid midfield with foden, rice and Bellingham but their CB’s and goalkeeper really lead them down and their manager has no idea what he’s doing
Even with the "worst" Brazil of recent times versus the best England of all time, England still lost. Brazil could have put 3 V 0. The English media talks a lot.
@@chy.0190 England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. Who do they blame for being owned before Southgate ever played, let alone managed 🤣
Nos somos o brasil caros ingleses não subestime o jogador brasileiro que é muito técnico criativo também num mal momento mas para melhorar e um piscar de olhos
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. Can't "underestimate" a team that owns you so thoroughly
Absolutely, both of them are fine footballers. Bruno seems to adapting the English style of keeping the ball at the back and not passing vertically he had very good opportunities to do it but passed it back to the defence.
@@redpandagency He actually played VERY well this match. He controlled the possession for Brazil lots of times, and gave some key passes, one to Vinicius behind England's defense and some to the wings.
And worse yet it's a Brazil team with tons of newbies to the team. This is very far away from the strongest team that Brazil can assemble. Some of that due to injuries and squad cut offs. Having a lot of fringe players and inexperienced youth, yet Brazil still beat them in a quite convincing performance. An England squad at about 97-98% full strength 😂
@@dantekratos5395no England wasn’t 97% or 98% full strength. That’s bs. Three key players weren’t playing. But yep. Brazil played so well even without some of Brazil’s big names
I think it's obvious some English players have them flimsy feet, they just cannot kick the ball without aiming for either the Moon or France. They put a lot of pressure in Brazil throughout the game and all that amounted to nothing.

Stop making fun of it bro, it's less likely for them to get him, we have to praise the man no matter what and keep tweeting @ man united to hire the man Come on people, we have an assignment to complete, he had to be at Manu next year
What a special night for Brazil. Only their third win over England at Wembley. A lot of injured players, a new head coach, too many kids on the roster....Wow! Great job, lads!
England with Chillwell, Gallagher, Maguire and they are expecting winning. They are deceiving themselves 😂. The coach himself lacks tactics and proper selection.
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. No manager ever can bridge such an embarrassing gap
@@chy.0190 England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. That's how inferior they are, even the worst of SA are tougher matches 🤣😂
@@myearsgotyouthsystem8802Not this France team. They have tight results, when they play decent sides and no big wins. And lost twice now to Germany in few months. My favorite is Portugal, dark horse Hungary
@@jemiee9493when the real tournament kicks off.... France WILL find a way bro! Don't be fooled by losing in a friendly! They will do the usual...be extremely difficult to beat and let M'bappe do his thing when they need an individual bit of brilliance
And why is everyone making it sound like Brazil squad was bad 💀💀💀 vini,rodrygo,raphina.paqueta,Bruno….yes the others were make shift but they are still elite level players 💀geez if someone here didn’t watch the game they’ll think Brazil played an u18 squad
People say that because Brazil did not play with Neymar, Casemiro, Marquinhos, Allison, Ederson, Militao, Martinelli and Gabriel. England lost to a team that played 5 starters with their first cap. They lost to a coach in his first debut game. A 17 year old almost scored twice at Wembley. Paqueta was rubbish, Raphinha is great but England has a better winger who is in better form (Foden). Rodrygo is out of form at Madrid as well. England played with many 1st team players and the only real excuse they had, was not playing Saka and Kane. With all due respect, the rest should have won from this Brazil side. If Brazil would've been clinical, it could've been 3-0.
Considering how England were playing at home, in a friendly, where there gave up a bunch of great chances and didn't create much. They had some really talented in form players (remember, Southgate himself said he selected players based on form), who were nullified by an inexperienced team playing together internationally, coached by a new coach in his first international game. Surely Southgate, at 0-0, in making substitutions would have gave instructions on how to break down the Brazilian defense. But the substitutions did little to move the attacking needle in England's favor.
Can we also give credit to the Brazilian back 4, for shutting down the England attack? I was really impressed with PSGs Beraldo and Fabrico Bruno(was my first time watching him play)- they both really solid and did well to build up from the back and avoid any press. it’s really great to see Brazil re-building their squad with their local based players🎉
@@THENIGHTMARE905 please do not assume from my comment re southgate taking over when allardyce was sacked that I am a fan of southgate because I am certainly not🤣 you mean the fa thinks he can win the euros .
Yep, England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. Can't blame the manager for that, goes back too far
Jan is an exact depiction of how deluded the English press that support Southgate are. Southgate doesnt make these players better. Their playstyle is pathetic
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America, meaning the worst of their continent is as tough a match as England. Jan is smart enough to know English players are talentless compared to the global elite, and an only win playing like 04 Greece
I didn't realize Vinicius Jr was terrible at finishing. 1v1 against the keeper and got off a slow dribbling shot that overrated, self-proclaimed-fastest-man-on-the-pitch Kyle Walker was able to catch up to. And the kid who scored for Brasil is probably worse. Brasil's xG was 2.8 but only managed to score just 1. Brasil is as overhyped as England.
@@BC-th3mxsome of the best players in the world in club football are English and outside of the goalkeeper, left back and cdm there is a valid shout in having a world class option in every position yet you think they’re just poor. You’re deluded if you think a team that made the final of the last euro, 4th at wc2018 and only barely beaten by the 2nd place team in 2022 has a talent deficiency. The talent is abundant, Southgate however doesn’t care who is talented and plays his best friends who don’t even play top level club football. The man ignores 3 of the best non Italian footballers in serie an every opportunity he gets. He’s a saboteur wasting the best English selections to date. Be serious next time.
@@DontAttme England have won 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia - look at it from their perspective, why would they look at them any differently?
@@DontAttme Only Kane and Walker are world-class on England, Foden is approaching there. Everyone else has to prove themselves at the highest level for a longer period of time...
They faced easy teams, which made everyone think they are better than they actually are. Anytime they face quality, they struggle. Guardiola is the only coach that can work with this, Maguire and Henderson isn't winning anything for other managers
Crazy how 5 first time starters were stopping the likes of Bellingham, Rashford, Foden, Rice and others then a 17 year old proceeds to destroy their 10 match winning streak.
@@johnrockyryan10 match winning streak?U mean unbeaten streak which isn’t that impressive considering the only good team they played was Italy.They literally drew to north Macedonia in the game before this one
@@sab-vl4jgif prem didn’t have foreign players no one would watch it. England only have a few good world class players. Media over hype as always and will look to destroy them when they come home with nothing
I’m English and we expected it, Southgate was a defender who has very limited management experience. Decent guy but out of his depth. Plays favourites too.
Don’t understand why McGuire n chilwell are on the roster. These players are horrendously performing n not deserve to be in the team. Southgate can’t play attacking soccer
The reason Chilwell is there is because Shaw is injured and Trippier who sometimes covers there is in poor form and getting old. That and there’s a significant lack of options for england at LB - especially players with experience.
you guys need to understand that in the defense of Brazil there was a guy named The Flash Fabricio Bruno, a defender who hasnt suffered a goal for like 12 games...he plays for one of the best teams of the world(Flamengo)...He is the fastest defender I have ever seen...and even Luizito Suarez said he was the hardest he faced in brazil (he never even scored a goal against flamengo partially thanks to Fabricio Bruno)...
Im Brazilian and I can say that this is the worst Brazil’s team since 1980 for sure. Average age of the Brazilians who started the game is 24 years. Such an young team, first game of the coach as well, playing at Wembley… england had everything to beat Brazil. People in Brazil are hating the “Seleção” since 2014… I hope Dorival Júnior bring the respect again.
@@Guilherme99andradeI wouldnt say the worst to avoid to sound like they re not skilled, to me its more like they re the most unexperienced, since many re young nd even tho some re already at the top in Europe, like Vini Jr, they lack experience when it comes to playing for Brazil. Besides that, they've barely played together nd today was just their first match. Thats why Brazil must take serious every single match they gonna hv nd try at all cost win Copa America.
Brazil with a "B" team ( lots of injuries)with the first game with the new manager and 5 newbies . Never underestimate the biggest national team in history
England have lost in tournaments previously because they have come up against world class teams like Brazil in 2002. But in the present Euros that’s not the case. Our problem is Southgate
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. Expecting a nation w/ the same record as those minnows vs the global elite to win anything is hilarious, don't hear Bolivians talk that way 🤣😂
Maguire was being Maguire and what was Chilwell doing??? Chilwell had 3 kicks that were so far over the goal it was like watching someone shooting pigeons!! Vai Brazil!!!
@@geraldmutti2001 That’s a dumb argument. Rashford would start for City, Arsenal and Liverpool and he’d definitely start for Newcastle. In a more organised team he’d look amazing. He’s better than Gordon at literally everything, and he’s got multiple 20+ goal and 10+ assist seasons to prove it. He’s simply a better player, form is another thing entirely. But England are a different team to United.
@@jameswyatt4443 his average one good season then he goes missing and no he won't start over foden ,Diaz,martinelli stop lying to urself Gordon has been better this season
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. No manager in the world can bridge such a huge gap in talent, be glad they get to qualify playing San Marino & Gibraltar
Vim ver os comentários ingleses e não me surpreende a arrogância de alguns. Eu não sei se na Europa elogiam a seleção da Inglaterra a ponto de enganar os ingleses. Mas a seleção da Inglaterra é muito pior do que já foi um dia. Acho engraçado como para eles um amistoso contra o Brasil é sem sentido, mas vencer seleções como Escócia ou Macêdonia, servem para aumentar o ego. A seleção da Inglaterra sempre tem alguns bons jogadores. Mas está muito distante de ganhar títulos. Com gerações muito melhores não conseguiram. Não é com essa que vão conseguir. Se eles usassem 50% da capacidade que tem em fazer uma grande liga como a Premier League, para investir nos jogadores do seu próprio país, talvez pudessem mudar isso. Atualmente só podem se contentar em ficarem felizes de terem os melhores times feitos com jogadores de outros países.
Once again for the people in the back: The *only* halfway-notable scalp Southgate has actually acquired in his *entire* tenure as boss of England's Golden Generation is that of the single *worst* German side in a generation.
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. If the players were any good, they wouldn't be an easier match for Brazil than the worst of SA
Tottenham are far more talented. England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America 😳😬
Another England excuse ?🤨 All this hype to lose to a depleted Brazil team its surely coming home and I don’t want to hear this BS about friendly because if England had won this game the hype would have been crazy o England can win the euros 😅
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America. No excuses are necessary when the gap in class is so wide
I have nothing against Mainoo who is clearly a talented lad but he has only played 15 times for United this season...alternatively how in the heck has Harvey Elliiot who has over 100 appearances for Liverpool scores goals/assists and has won domestic titles not being given a chance in the England senior squad baffles me to this day.
England have won only 1 of their last 12 matches w/ Brazil - same as Venezuela and Bolivia, 9th & 10th best teams in South America, so that shouldn't surprise you, that's just their level 🤣
I don't think he's intentionally over-cautious. Southgate just doesn't know anything else. He's under-evolved. He doesn't know how to build systems of attack that also include the ability to recover from turnovers. So always keep plenty deep, leave it up to the frontline to progress from a starting point 40 yards from goal and, usually, leave it to individuals to figure it out. He's an analog coach in a digital world.
Great marketing by the EPL as always. The English and a big chunk of the world believe england has the best players every single year. It is mental! Brazil with an almost B team...way more technical.
Some are def overrated but I think it’s also the style of play in England that limits them internationally. A lot of them are worse technically than the other big countries and it gets exposed once those players are outside the prem setting
The worst Brazil team of all times beat what they been saying is one of England’s greatest team in Wembley, it’s not a surprise for those who understand football, this England team is full with overrated average players
Top scorers in LaLiga, and Bundesliga are English. Second place in the Premier League is English. Not to mention the brilliant midfielders and the likes of Phil Foden or Saka. England’s individual talent themselves are not overrated
@@thewanderingsamurai1150You know.... look at that midfield.... João Gomes (Wolves), Paqueta (West Ham), Bruno G (Newcastle), Douglas Luis (Aston Vila). If you look at the season of those players they are actually insane good. People are underrating Brazil players too much...
Poor Tomori must be kicking himself for not playing for Nigeria. When fit he's been starting at AC Milan for 3-4 seasons, won the Serie A, and is definitively England's second best centre back. Meanwhile for the past 4 years he's had to watch a slew of bang average defenders from crappy Prem teams get called up: Tarkowksi, Mings, Coady, Konsa, Dunk... Maguire who's had howler after howler in a Man United shirt regardless of him doing OK for England. Levi Colwill had one good season for Brighton and was getting picked ahead of him. The only other player who has been more overlooked is JWP.
Manutd now: struggling to stay at 5th position every season Manutd with Southgate: fighting to stay in the Championship Manutd with Wayne Rooney afterwards: National league time boi
Yeah, I kinda agree, however Barca had more Spanish players and Bayern had more German players than City has English players, so I'm not sure those are fair comparisons.
@@JarrettMehldauThe change of style in England came because of Pep. Wenger was playing out from the back, but nobody tried to emulate him, whereas bottom half teams are trying to play out from the back, inspired by Guardiola. Remember the season Leicester won, ping pong football and smash and grab was common in the PL.
@@garyanderton I don't dispute that. Pep changed football all around (in the Prem, in Bundesliga, in women's football, whereever you watch you can see his influence, if you look close enough) I just think, benefitting directly from the tactical knowledge and discipline that Pep installs in his own players, was obviously easier for Spain and Germany, since they just had more players at Barca/Bayern, who actually trained under Pep himself, than England has players at City.
Southgate is awful, Englands link up play was sluggish, there didnt seem to be any tactics or plans in the final third, players looked lost as to what to do in front of goal. Southgate has England set up as a defensive team, where that is one of Englands weakest area's. He's had planty of chances to try new setups and tactics, but it's now too late. He's making this new generation of talent a laughing stock, so he needs to go.
Foi dos confrontos de gigantes o brasil e o estadio de Wembley ! Nos pode ta em crise com muitos reserva com tecnico novato , etc mas Inglaterra é nosso freguês o Wembey é nossa casa amamos a Inglaterra.❤
It's strange that the best team in the tournament once again loses to a Brazil with a new coach and half the available players. wait it's the story of england never wins anything and is overrated by the media.
Why is Southgate still manager for England 😂 the squad itself has the potential to make it as far as he's taken them without a Manger tbh. Literally holding the team back without being able to bring out the full potential
