The World Cup is the best way to celebrate Thanksgiving. Tomorrow is Turkey Day, so we can expect a feast of football, with Brazil, Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal, and Brazil taking on Ghana, Uruguay, and South Korea in a matchup between sleeper teams.
The results of Wednesday were a good appetizer for Thursday’s feast. Japan was surprised by Germany while Canada had a disappointing result against Belgium. Spain won 7-0 over Costa Rica, perhaps inspired by the entire slate of NFL action.
Keep checking ESPN for the latest news from Qatar. This is what you might have missed during Wednesday’s World Cup events.
Brazil alert as Neymar closes Pele’s mark, but Neymar is getting closer
Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia in an epic upset on Tuesday. On Wednesday, four-time World Cup winner Germany was defeated by Japan. Brazil is the overwhelming favorite to win the trophy in Qatar. Will they suffer the same fate as Serbia?
Brazil coach Tite knows that anything can happen. However, he has warned his team not to take anything for granted at this stage. He told reporters that every team is proud of its achievements and will do its best in the World Cup. This is especially true for Tite’s squad, who are looking to win a sixth title, they’re first in 20 years.
He said, “I cannot take responsibility for the past 20 years, only four.” “We have a great nation, passionate about football, which also serves as an educational tool. Because dreaming is part and parcel of life, we not only feel the pressure but also take advantage of it.
Brazil will be taking the field with the most experienced and balanced team at the tournament. They have playmakers at every position. Alisson has been a great goalkeeper and few center-backs can match the speed and quality that Marquinhos has.
Their abundance of attacking options makes it almost unfair. Brazil has many scoring options, including Lucas Paqueta and Richarlison.
What about Neymar? His lofty expectations of him in a Brazilian jersey seem unfair, but that will change if two things happen: win the World Cup and score three goals to break Pele’s record of 77 for most goals by a Brazilian national team player. There is no pressure.
