    Yes. Vini continues to be shockingly bad. But it's obviously also a lack of coaching and players making bad decisions. We typically figure something out come World Cup time though. But there is a serious lack of talent in too many positions.

    How to pretend you're running a successful club:

    Surely Brazil have to sack the coach now? They are borderline missing out on the 2026 world cup at this rate and how it's going

    Like someone said, it can't be that the players instantly turn to shit when they pull on the yellow shirt and that part of the issue is the coach, tactics and instructions to the players, no?

    I don't know how many people tune in/out. Probably less than before. But I think most actual football fans still tune in. It's the casuals that don't There are just more entertainment options nowadays. It was a bit bizarre that the NFL game in Brazil was played at the same time as the game vs Ecuador. But I guess that decision was made a long time in advance.

    Come WC time I think a lot of people do tune in though.

    The crazy thing is the NFL game looked PACKED, like there wasn't a single seat available. A friend of mine wanted to go and checked for tickets and was number 865 thousand plus in the cue

    Yes it was packed and it sold out instantly. Demand was high ... obviously because it's a 1st time event that will at most happen once a year. NFL gets robust coverage in Brazil with the availability of extra sports channels (ESPN - ESPN 5 and etc ...). When I lived in Brazil up to early 90s they had just started covering NFL ... but just the Super Bowl. I never thought it would catch on but it obviously has with a portion of people.

    Same here, even though I actually did get tickets, I opted against it. One nosebleed ticket costs the same as an evening at the MXGP e event with the family which is something I'd just rather do because I know it's something that would make us all happy VS NFL which only I personally enjoy.

    I can't justify spending 400 euro to see the two worst teams in the nfl despite supporting one of them.

    American Football games are a better experience on TV IMHO. I didn't enjoy the live experience that much the times I've attended. Actual footy games I enjoy both in different ways.

    Funny enough I've heard people say college football is the opposite where it's much more enjoyable being there, but the product is vastly different. The band and the actual students making up a part of the attendance makes it special I assume.

    The game itself is about the same, but yeah, the fan atmosphere is much better at College Football. Same for College Basketball. It does make for a better experience overall.

    Yep, that's when the bandwagons start watching and act all shocked and surprised when Brazil is not beating others by 5 goals.

    It's the same with the Olympics. All of a sudden, people start demanding sponsors and support to lesser known sports they do not support themselves.

    They also do not care about the Paralympics while claiming they care for inclusivity and that shit.

    Brazilians are funny.

    It's the same across the world. When you win a gold medal you are the greatest person ever but when you ask for funding you are a greedy bastard despite there being reality TV show candidates getting paid more. Crazy

    See the YT video for Metalica Enter Sandman at a college football game when teams comes out - insane. Can't remember who it was now.

    It was PPV in the US for something outrageous like $40 I think. I ended up trying to watch on a choppy stream.

    I don't know when but its over for Dorival. He isn't making it to 2026. Terrible manger with no ideas, tactics, sub idea, and just an incredibly bad call up with competent players ignored and left behind at home. Pretty sure he has actually gotten worse from the Copa America which is shocking considering he wasn't that great then.

    But as much as I can complain all day about those, It breaks my heart to say Vini is actually quite terrible for the national team and I support calls to bench him. But I don't think any attack with Dorival at the helm will do anything product with or without Vinicius.

    I don't think there are any good ones left. But there are a few Portuguese and one Italian I can name off the top of my head :D

    I'd rather see Deportivo get promoted. Their fans have suffered for a while, often in the third tier in recent seasons, yet still come out to the stadium in big numbers. Though its probably unlikely we will see back-to-back promotions.

    Damn thats a name I haven't heard in a while. Every once in a while I'll take a look at the 2nd and 3rd division and see names that made waves in La Liga. Eibar is one I have a soft spot for. They punched above their weight a while ago. Want to see them do it again.
