Tim Vickery's guide to Brazil 

Brazil and Germany can never be underestimated, when you think they’re finished they come back stronger.

Wow Tim Vickery. In an age of clickbait, cliche delivery, sensationalism, and talking about something without ever talking about it... it's refreshing to encounter proper sports journalism now and then.

Tim, you raised the bar of sports journalism to a different level. Really entertaining and I can hear him all day.

From a brazilian, those analysis were truly respectful with Brazil's squad and its new way forward to get to the next world cup. One more fan for these two guys!👏

Big respect to Tim. Presents himself brilliantly everytime he talks, a propper old school presenter with a wealth of knowledge. Would love to see more of him.

This is the first time I heard Tim talking in English, I always heard him give his opinions about Brazilian football here on SporTv a Brazilian sports channel. His Portuguese is really good and he always has an interesting point to share, it was great to have him here sometimes analyzing our football.

I'm watching this after the game, this guy knows his stuff 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Wish Tim was on sky sports more often! Such a good journalist and great personality too

I love when Tim speaks, Im Brazilian and he understands the Brazilian culture on football way better than me, you can see his passion about the football in BR.

Vickery is a South American expert, one of the best journalists in the business

Tim vickery is a credit to the football community. His scope of work in South America speaks for itself. It’s soo refreshing to get a Brit with such a wealth of knowledge outside the premier league as many “pundits”do not tend to grasp anything outside of these shores. Top man Vickery.

Dorival is a guy who works miracles in the short term, in 2022, he arrived at Flamengo in June (the Brazilian season starts in January and ends in February), won the Libertadores (equivalent to the Champions League) and won the Copa do Brasil (Brazil Cup ). But his contract ended in January and Flamengo didn't want to renew with him, so he was sent out of the team, around June 2023 he went to São Paulo and won the Copa do Brasil over Flamengo, so almost completing the club's trophy room, which can now say it is 'champion of everything'

As a Brazilian that used to watch Tim so much on Sportv, is weird to see him speaking English 😂

Tim's portuguese names pronunciation is AMAZING. Congrats to him

He participates a lot in Brazilian sports programs, speaking Portuguese fluently. When you live and especially experience another culture, you grow in every way, especially in the country of football.

The comments section online is always trash, but i took a gamble knowing that Tim is a legend and is universally lived. I wasn't disappointed!😊

Bloody Legend and a man with huge love for the game, lovely Tim 🙏🏽👍🏾

Tim Vickery is a LEGEND

Tim Vickery know everything about us. The time he worked for our television was a pleasure for me and for many of us to learn about england under his vision. I confess I'm a fan of him.

As a Brazilian, I can confirm how great his analysis was! Correspondents should always be invited to share their deeper knowledge. I don’t like when pundits underestimate other teams because they don’t know anyone or anything about the team

Favourite sports writer - his BBC columns were unmissable

this man is chivalry on person, so much intelligence and respect, cheers from Brazil mates

Tim's a real gentleman, always showing up with his notebook on br cable tv. One of the few times listening to him in his native language

Such a good understanding of Brazilian football. Amazing job there Tim.

Tim Vickery got to be one of the best British people alive. Embraces multi-culturalism, and still has that classic british nature and wit

Tim is well respect in Brazil. He used to be in the cable TV analyzing or teams and tournaments. Yeah, he is brilliant in Brazilian Portuguese also. A lot of respect to this incredible journalist.

Tim Vickery is a legend, I'm Brazilian and he is the only brit I can admit to admire for so long years in Brazilian sports TV 😂

Brazil 1-0 England. My loving team Brazil. Love from Bangladesh.

I see this as a experimental game for Brazil, as they prepare for Copa America in summer. A long way from winning another World Cup at moment, and probably country still not recovered from losing to Germany, Belguim and Croatia in last 3 World Cups. Have to look towards a new midfield dynamo to inspire.

I think the England team needs to cry out for more games against South Americans .

Two big games coming Germany vs France and England vs Brazil can't wait for those ❤

Always love listening to someone speak passionately and expertly about their subject of passion and Tim Vickery is no exception. Love his presentation of South American football, could listen to him talk about it all day, listening to him makes you want to seek out the Brazilian Campeonato, Copa Libertadores or COMNEBOL qualifiers.

Tim can pronounce Portuguese names very well!

As a Brazilian I’d say this probably England’s time to shine and I hope you guys win the Euros this time. Brazil is still a generation away from having a really great team again. Current pool of players is not bad but with the exception of a handful of players it is not comparable to 2002.

As a brazilian fan, I could listen to this gentleman all day. I've rarely seen an analysis like the one this man just gave me. Truly gonna see more of this guy. Let's make a great match english brothers 💪

For a Brazilian like myself that has seen Tim on my screen talking about football and everything else for the last 20 years in Portuguese, it was really something else to see this recommendation of him speaking in his mother language back in England Good to see him returning and enjoying for sometime -------- Para um brasileiro como eu, que assisto o Tim falando no sportv a mais de 20 anos quase que todas as semanas, ver ele num estudio da sky , falando em inglês foi algo bem inusitado e divertido Feliz em vê-lo de volta ao seu país, que aproveite a estadia antes do (provavel) retorno ao Brasil

Grande Tim!! Muito bom acompanhá-lo no Brasil

What a analysis! Tim Vickery was really well informed and precise about the information he brought, and the game showed that Brazil it's a strong team, despite ours recents defeats. Highlights to the PERFECT pronounciation of brazilian names!

Tim Vickery understands about Brazilian football more than many jornalists in Brazil. When he talks about our football he knows what he is talking about.

Excellent journalism on show here. Watched start to finish well done!

To echo pretty much every comment I've read, Tim really is exemplary in the football journalism world. He talks like a man that genuinely loves his job and I can certainly see why he would! His enthusiasm and knowledge grip you as soon as he opens his mouth. Please can he start covering the Prem..? 🙏😂👏

Tim Vickery is a breath of fresh air. He actually lives in Brazil, unlike most Englishmen who goes to foreign countries, he actually embraced the Brazilian culture and he actually understands the gane of football and the landscape of it in Brazil

I'm Brasil tomorrow wining or losing. Futebol in our ❤ and DNA.

Props for the effort on studying the Brazilian football scenario and also learning the pronunciation of people’s names, we don’t see that often, thank you!

Respect the only five-time world champion team. Brazil is the father of England.

here in Brazil we have the privilege of watching Tim Vickery's reviews in brilliant Portuguese on our subscription channel sportv - first time I see Tim on a British TV show, very good journalist

I love the pronunciations

E pensar que esse cara é obrigado a trabalhar com o Rizek...

I'm from brazil, Tim really knows what he's doing, what a legend

Dorival Junior is highly respected and considered a good coach in Brazilian football.

You are very polite, its satisfying to listen to you.

My best wishes to Tim is a very nice person!!! um grande abraço do Brasil Tim

Eu amo esse cara, meu heroi. ❤

From brazil Great analysis Tim! Indeed a insightful view of the current state of Brazilian team, despite the result i hope our jewels can bright at full colors, we need it.

Love listening to him frequently on BBC Radio.

Tim was marvelous. Great games for all of us.

This guy is great. Need more experts like this on Sky Sports

Tim Vickery deserves a knighthood at this point. The guy's a legend

Tim, wholeheartedly, from a brazilian. You know more about our domestic stage then most brazilian reporters...

Oh timmy timmy !! The Legendinho returns to Blighty, from the tropics of the Amazon ❤

It's refreshing to see how England's sports news shows a lot of respect for our Seleção (brasileiro here) even when the team is in such bad shape as it is now, given that it's become normal for brazilians to talk trash about our national team ever since the shameful 7-1 in 2014. It seems international sports fans in general have more respect for the seleção brasileira than ourselves. Props to you for that! But even on that note, I think not even the most optimistic brazilian will say we are favorites on this match. I think England's team is ahead by quite a lot, considering Southgate's solid work and also the individually talented roster. Lets see what happens saturday. Cheers from Brasil!

Tim is such an excellent journalist, so great to listen to

Awesome reading of Brazil and its new coach!

Tim Vickery and Peter Dury pls do a video together

I clicked on the video thinking it was going to be 10 minutes of nonsense and superficial analysis, but he actually knows what's going on and the actual quality of Brazil, when foreigns analyse our national team they always go for a generic narrative that we're "Joga Bonito" and we're so dominant like we still were 20 years ago, when clearly it's not the case anymore. From a Brazilian, props for the good analysis

Tim Vickery is the only English journalist that is worth listening to.

Tim Vickery is a well-established name in Brazilian football's broadcast, since he was a guest at a number of Brazilian TV shows and speaks Portuguese remarkably well. This is actually the first time I'm listening to him speak his native language. Kudos to Vickery for his amazing career and insightful approach to the game we all love.

He really sounds like it was an European country that won the last world cup and that England won more world cups than Brazil.

I really enjoy listening to Tim's comments, he always brings a different perspective to what is being discussed. I would like to know if he is well known outside of Brazil?

Tim vickery 🔥

Gracias Tim

Legendinho in the flesh

9:40 - Félix, Waldir Perez, Zetti, Cláudio Taffarel, Marcos, Rogério Ceni, Dida, Alisson: ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU?!

Dourival Jr is a masterclass coach. Brazilians will definitely be delighted with the seleçāo's performance tonight. He won everything in Brazil, no need to mention his extensive career.

Tim is a legend. More of Tim!

Wow... Amazing analysis ❤

Muito foda ver o Tim no seu habitat natural kkkkk

Nunca tinha visto o Tim falar em inglês kkkkkk mas a voz é exatamente como eu imaginava

Tim delivering excellent South American coverage as always. Legendinho!

I’m a São Paulo fan in Brazil, the last Dorival job before lead Brazilian squad. Dorival always has a position game, organized, possession ball and the game. He was a champion in many teams. Maybe not first game, but with little time, we’ll see this in Brazil.

Always great analysis Tim Vickery

As a brazilian, I really want to see more matches between Brazil and European national teams. It will be tough matches against England and Spain. Vickery is brilliant.

I haven't seen journalism like this in a long time

I hope Vini scores so that sky actually mentions his name for once.

As a Brazilian, I feel very pleased about Tim comments and points made. He definitely is an expert about football…

As a brazilian, I'm really impressed with his pronunciation of the brazilian names, really well spoken !!

Legendinho 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾

That was incredible, very interesting

They need to get him on more

His job here in Brazil is incredible! It's so nice, once in a while, to encounter a foreigner open enough to live and love Brazil in all is pros and cons.

BRASIL is the country of futebol ❤ 5 times World cup and deserves respect ever. Salve Pelé our legend 🙌

Como não ser fã do Tim??

Meu goleiro aí, Bento é um monstro!

... and his Portuguese is excellent.

Tim acertou pontos cruciais, acertou tudo e o z Brasil ganhou com gol do Endrick e o meio campo foi cristal, até a zaga nova foi bem.

Tim pronunciation of the Brazilians names is also perfect. Come on! :) This is a great example on how to do your job well.

Sky news always with the best commentators and reporting, wether in regular news or in sports. Please, keep this up.

It is a new era for many national teams heading into 2024, and Brazil is in a new era after two interim coaches Ramon Menezes and Fernando Diniz. How Brazil does with new head coach Dorival Junior I don't know as it will depend how well he calls up the team to help recover Brazil lost prestige and reputation over the years. England and Spain have been doing a lot better in terms of consistency, but if Brazil gets its cards rights it could have a chance to be competitive in both games. Overall global competition has increased over the years among all national teams in the world especially heading to the world cup. I look forward to see what happens in 2026 with the Super Fifa World Cup in North America with 48 teams as well the Super Fifa Club World Cup in 2025 also in the USA and 2024 Copa America USA and Eurocups 2024 this year as well. The Summer Olympics would been more interesting if we had a real Olympics without the under 23 restrictions for the men, as only 3 veteran players are allowed to play. Still heavily disappointed in Fifa's decision to cancel the Fifa Confederations Cup instead of expanding and the men's under 23 Olympic rules. Why doesn't Fifa just make a Under 23 World Cup then instead of restricting the Olympics.

Legendiniho tim

Legendinho😎
