Brazil suffers ‘embarrassing’ defeat to great rival Argentina in one-sided World Cup qualifier
CNN
On Tuesday, an already underwhelming 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign reached its nadir as Brazil suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat away to great rival Argentina.
Over the years, the famous canary yellow shirt of the Brazil national team has become synonymous with World Cup success, beautiful soccer and legendary players. However, Brazil fans are having to adapt to a new reality: their team isn’t very good. In fact, it is actually pretty bad. On Tuesday, an already underwhelming 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign reached its nadir as the Seleção suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat away to great rival Argentina. While the victory meant Argentina officially qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the size of the defeat threw up even more questions for this beleaguered Brazil squad and its hapless manager, Dorival Júnior. But at the end of a rough evening in Buenos Aires, the size of the scoreline was the least of Brazil’s worries. That Argentina only scored four goals actually flattered Dorival’s team. It is no exaggeration to say the Albiceleste could – and probably should – have scored seven or eight.
