What a terrible, terrible match.
I'm not even going to say a thinf about Rio police and authorities because that's their norm.
Why the fuck did Argentina play to hold a draw? It seemed like they could easily beat us by waaaay more if they tried. It's like they are not aware of the situation they are in.
Brazil has fallen off a cliff. Can't create chances, can't place a shot near the goal. Raphinha and Emerson Royal are unable to take the right option whenever they have to make a decision.
I don't even want to look at fouls. At some point we were with 13 combined fouls in 20 or so minutes, we were overagressive with absolutely no need and they reacted whenever they got a chance. Ref scared of giving yellow cards to put a break on the violence.
And last thing, CBF Masterclass as always. Act like they don't have anything to do with the organization of the match, not a single person from the board appears to help with the situation. But what can we expect? Our last presidents were jailed, unable to leave the country or will be jailed too, taken out of office because he brought dog food to his female assistant and now we are stuck with a guy that doesn't show up to the biggest qualifier game against our biggest rival in our biggest stadium in one of our worst moments and believes that Ancelloti is leaving Real Madrid to clean this mess.
All in all, everything is wrong. And anyone that cares about never losing at home has to wake up. We conceded 23 shots to Colombia. We drew Venezuela at home. We lost to 3 african teams in less than a year. We are trash.
