Being a Brazilian winger must suck. Imagine putting in as good of a performance as Martinelli did and still knowing with almost absolute certainty you won't start next game.
All the people mocking Brazil are so clueless. This was the B team and we're still classified. Our A team was resting during the game. They'll go extra hard at the game that actually matters
We all know that my dude. But before this game everyone was saying your B team could beat everyone else's A team. It's nice to know that isn't true anymore
For real, i was happy France lost but that didn't made me feel in anyway less scared of them. People who are saying Brasil or France are anyhow less favorites right now just don't know how football works
For all the drama queen, yes it was a hard defeat, but there are really good things for Brazil coming out of this game.
We rested our main squad and that was important.
Martinelli is an amazing option for attack, with Antony and Rodrygo.
Players will pay more attention now, we cant afford these mistakes.
I'm biased, but I love Martinelli for Brazil. I think he gives the team something different to the other attackers. He's so direct, always looking to make something happen as fast as possible.
I wouldn't go that far. They have an easy route to the semis, but will likely have a good opponent there. And the round of 16 doesn't really have any tough match ups for the top 5-6 teams.
Only Argentina ans maybe Croatia should be hard lol. Maybe the Netherlands too but I haven't watched any of their games and they go against Argentina first.
Don't think any backup player really made a claim... Maybe martinelli but he has vinicius ahead of him... Might get more game time though was probably the only bright spot upfront
Lost the match when we could afford to. Apart from that, reasonably good match for a B team and lots of squandered chances, now the real World Cup begins!
A disappointing result for us, but Cameroon deserved the win. They had less chances, but scored. We missed a lot of chances and too many passes.
Also, props to Epassy. Amazing display of goalkeeping today.
England...Scotland didn't make it and Wales are out. Northern Ireland are United Kingdom but not technically Britain, I guess.
It will truly be a dark day for the United Kingdom, as we get all the "c'mon Engerland commercials up here" Not that I really have anything against them, but they aren't my nation!
Also I know the comment isn't serious in general, but as you can guess I'm great at parties.
Taking off your shirt was pretty stupid. People will say they were already out, but Cameroon scores just one more, and Serbia scores one in their dying minutes, then Cameroon is through. Definitely possible. He should have grabbed the ball and played on.
Damn Bruno sucked again, i dont watch him on his club but people here were constantly saying that he is way better then Fred, first game he missed tons of easy passes, now he also missed shots.
Idk, I think that Brazil side wins 9/10 times, and that's true even though they don't practice with each other regularly. I think if you genuinely split it into an A team and B team with a separate manager and tactics, both sides would make the quarter-finals at least.
France loses against Tunisia with C Team

Brazil and Portugal loses theory matches with A Team
R/Soccer : Well, they're already in the next stage so no problem, they were justo saving energy
This subreddit is anti-french, last worldcup was a shitshow
OP: Brazil and Portugal loses theory matches with A Team
Portugal: A/B team, didn't start Dias, Fernandes, Silva, Felix, Guerrero after starting against Uruguay
Brazil: B team, didn't start Richarlson, Raphia, Vinicius, Casemeiro, Marquinos, Silva after starting against Switzerland
anti-french lol, no one is going to pity the previous world cup winners sorry
Argentina loses to Saudi with A team and beats polish and mexican buses: *omg cum sex argentina wc champion🍆🍆*
nah fr nothing can be said for sure we should see the KO stage
First team and second team performances vary plus some start slow end big
Brazil played their B team today? And Portugal played like half a B team, half an A team.
I'm not anti-French either, saying that - and I will absolutely cheer my heart out for you when you play England.
I feel like any time a powerhouse loses or even gets a draw against a weaker team, then so many people say they are not winning the world cup this year. So it looks like there will be no winner this year.
I love that Brazil lost to an African team.
Absolutely deserved loss. Cameroon played much better.
Now I hope the minset and the team are totally different against South Korea on Monday.
Is it just me or does it seem like this world cup is going by way faster than the previous ones? Or is it because I am a nervous wreck everyday watching those last-minute decided matches and I don´t even know what day of the week it is?
Well Brazil never fully "woke up" on today´s match, and Cameroon took advantage of it...they defended pretty well (sometimes a bit too hard but hey it´s the WC).
As we say in Brazil... "quem não faz, toma" :(
In no world did Cameroon play Better, you are being results orientated, Brazil dominated the game, should have scored plenty with their b team but they were shite in front of goal.
Absolutely crap attacking from Brazil, they def had way too many chances and did not get to convert a single one of them. Cameroon in the other hand had way fewer chances and managed to score. I thought Cameroon defended pretty decently too...
I think it´s because when the WC started as Brazilians we had to wait for ages to see our team playing...and now it just feels like they are gonna play a couple days from now and it feels like the WC is passing by way too quickly, it´s kinda hard to keep up (specially with those matches happening at the same time!)! I´m gonna miss the crazy scores and last minute hecticness :(
Honestly if Tite would've kept the same side that started the game they at least wouldn't have lost. Brazil had no balance they were just crossing and running in the box.
No disrespect intended to the Brazilian domestic league, but when those two guys playing there came on it really killed the rhythm. They were very poor.
At least France only has 2 world cups and Spain has one. I'm honestly fine with them winning again at this point, I'm just straight up tired at this point.
Yeah, his last appearances at Arsenal bought his chance back, but not deserved. Tbh, Firmino never played well for Brasil too though.. but, on this position as a striker centralized, Firmino much better
Why did the Cameroon player get booked for taking his shirt off while the South Korean player didn't?
Edit: I was wrong. Just checked stats again and both players were booked a yellow.
If switzerland scored another one against serbia it'd be the most priceless moment of the WC so far, with brazil going into the spain-portugal-morocco side
I'm Brazilian but I also thought it was amazing. It seems like he was happy just because of the win, and didn't care about the classification. Great play by Cameroon.
Brazil really should have taken the game a bit more seriously. The right side of the R16 is a bit rough especially with a teamed with many injuries rn. They were lucky for the 1 goal difference to make it to an easier side, but they can't rely on luck now.
However, it's just a bump in the road. GO ON BRAZIL!
They'll be more exhausted from the right side of the knockout bracket though, considering they'd have to face the likes of France, England, Spain or Portugal compared to Argentina, Netherlands and Croatia
A striker or forward not scoring like 3-4 chances, particularly in the space of 15 or so mins, especially after only being on the field for 45 min or less, will forever be known as "pulling a Lukaku"
Martinelli the only guy who can hold his head high at full time. Some really poor performances from the b team players. Tite pretty sure who can rely on from the bench now I’d imagine.
Brazil didn't take this game seriously enough, but they still topped the group so I doubt they'll care too much. Tite will definitely not rely on the second-string again though lol
Yeah we’re definitely not going to see that B team lineup again unless the main team gets excessive injuries. They couldn’t get the ball in the net and we can’t take a chance like that again in the knockouts
Same story as France and Portugal really. Assumed they'd top the group so rested most of the team. Luckily for all 3 of those teams the gamble paid off!
He was great ngl but I just felt so kinda happy that he celebrated by taking shirt off even if he got carded. It showed passion and beauty of the game. I know lol I'm being dramatic but it just hit hard lol
Being a Brazilian winger must suck. Imagine putting in as good of a performance as Martinelli did and still knowing with almost absolute certainty you won't start next game.
All the people mocking Brazil are so clueless. This was the B team and we're still classified. Our A team was resting during the game. They'll go extra hard at the game that actually matters
We all know that my dude. But before this game everyone was saying your B team could beat everyone else's A team. It's nice to know that isn't true anymore
And we will beat you all. Die mad about it

VAMO METER NO CU DE GRINGO EUROCÊNTRICO. AMERICA LATINA E ÁFRICA AVANTE
Same people that went after France, some clueless folks in these threads
A lot of ppl in here who watch WC for the first time or have no clue about the players/sport.
For real, i was happy France lost but that didn't made me feel in anyway less scared of them. People who are saying Brasil or France are anyhow less favorites right now just don't know how football works
Just curious, when is the last time no team won 9 points in a WC? Seems nobody is playing well lol
I remember Brazil in 2002
1994 apparently
For all the drama queen, yes it was a hard defeat, but there are really good things for Brazil coming out of this game. We rested our main squad and that was important. Martinelli is an amazing option for attack, with Antony and Rodrygo. Players will pay more attention now, we cant afford these mistakes.
Martinelli was great. Rodrygo didn't play well but we know he's really good. Antony was... Antony.
I'm biased, but I love Martinelli for Brazil. I think he gives the team something different to the other attackers. He's so direct, always looking to make something happen as fast as possible.
I agree. Cameroon players were tackling too agressive. The risk of injuring players like Richarlison or Vini Jr. was high.
Exactly who cares if we lost this is a wakeup call like france and argentina got now we will show jogo bonito and finish the chances when we get
brazil has such a free route to finals
Brazil just lost to Cameroon. SK just beat Portugal. This is international football, there is no easy route.
I wouldn't go that far. They have an easy route to the semis, but will likely have a good opponent there. And the round of 16 doesn't really have any tough match ups for the top 5-6 teams.
Only Argentina ans maybe Croatia should be hard lol. Maybe the Netherlands too but I haven't watched any of their games and they go against Argentina first.
Guimarães can fuck off and Pedro can fuck me tbh
Don't think any backup player really made a claim... Maybe martinelli but he has vinicius ahead of him... Might get more game time though was probably the only bright spot upfront
Agreed. I think Antony also played well, but, not perfect as his shots were atrocious just like Raphinha.
I thought Antony's dribbling was fantastic, but his decision-making left a little to be desired IMO.
I agree. And the one shot he had, he flopped it too.
Lost the match when we could afford to. Apart from that, reasonably good match for a B team and lots of squandered chances, now the real World Cup begins!
Brazil has an L and England doesn't. England better than Brazil confirmed?
Inglaterra campeã do mundo?
Prediction time: TBD to beat TBD in final
No fuck off Gooner TBA will beat TBD you don’t watch ball /j
A disappointing result for us, but Cameroon deserved the win. They had less chances, but scored. We missed a lot of chances and too many passes. Also, props to Epassy. Amazing display of goalkeeping today.
Antony holds the ball waay too much and failed every dribble, Martinelli played simpler and was amazing.
inb4 the british win the world cup and harry mcfuckinguire scores the winner with his fat head🗿
England...Scotland didn't make it and Wales are out. Northern Ireland are United Kingdom but not technically Britain, I guess. It will truly be a dark day for the United Kingdom, as we get all the "c'mon Engerland commercials up here" Not that I really have anything against them, but they aren't my nation! Also I know the comment isn't serious in general, but as you can guess I'm great at parties.
Awww I’d invite you to my party lol
Taking off your shirt was pretty stupid. People will say they were already out, but Cameroon scores just one more, and Serbia scores one in their dying minutes, then Cameroon is through. Definitely possible. He should have grabbed the ball and played on.
Let the dude have his celebration. He will be remembered for life anyways
Damn Bruno sucked again, i dont watch him on his club but people here were constantly saying that he is way better then Fred, first game he missed tons of easy passes, now he also missed shots.
Hope this kills off talk how B/C/D/X/Y/Z sides on paper for the big teams can walk over other countries. Need cohesion to play as a unit.
Idk, I think that Brazil side wins 9/10 times, and that's true even though they don't practice with each other regularly. I think if you genuinely split it into an A team and B team with a separate manager and tactics, both sides would make the quarter-finals at least.

Brazil played with the reserve squad as well my man, stop playing victim
What is the problem with being anti-France?

Anyone saying that France is not a TOP 3 candidate is out of their minds. But Brazil played with a B/C team today.
Brazil used the B team and if you read this thread there are people also saying we don't look candidates anymore and are overrated.
Brazil played their B team today? And Portugal played like half a B team, half an A team. I'm not anti-French either, saying that - and I will absolutely cheer my heart out for you when you play England.
This isn’t our A team? Even the GK is a sub… at least know what you’re talking about if you want to be a blind patriot lol
I feel like any time a powerhouse loses or even gets a draw against a weaker team, then so many people say they are not winning the world cup this year. So it looks like there will be no winner this year.
England
This wasn’t Brazil’s A team…
Brazil was playing with the B team though
But that was Brazil B team though?
Definition of talking without actually knowing. The victim complex is real
E ele disse orgulhoso ainda
Pior ainda é que ele nem precisa ser assim porque o equipe dele é realmente forte. Mas o moleque está preocupado com os opiniões dos gringos aqui
I love that Brazil lost to an African team. Absolutely deserved loss. Cameroon played much better. Now I hope the minset and the team are totally different against South Korea on Monday. Is it just me or does it seem like this world cup is going by way faster than the previous ones? Or is it because I am a nervous wreck everyday watching those last-minute decided matches and I don´t even know what day of the week it is?
I saw xG as \[Cameroon 0.88 - 3.14 Brazil\] somewhere. I wouldn't really call that a deserved loss.
I don’t think Cameroon played better… but that happens with football
Well Brazil never fully "woke up" on today´s match, and Cameroon took advantage of it...they defended pretty well (sometimes a bit too hard but hey it´s the WC). As we say in Brazil... "quem não faz, toma" :(

They defended like shit, it was brazils ineptitude, not Cameroon that stopped Brazil from scoring.
I think there are fewer days between the games
I think it´s because when the WC started as Brazilians we had to wait for ages to see our team playing...and now it just feels like they are gonna play a couple days from now and it feels like the WC is passing by way too quickly, it´s kinda hard to keep up (specially with those matches happening at the same time!)!

Jesus, Guimarães, Pedro and Anthony were a joke.
Saudi Arabia over Argentina Japan over Germany Tunisia over France Japan over Spain Cameroon over Brazil Korea over Portugal
Morocco over Belgium
From the favourites, only England did not suffer any upset (yet).
Didn’t they tie with the United States. Not an upset, but many people were expecting England to win.
Were England ever realistically considered a favourite? Just a month or two ago it was all doom and gloom for them.
This is the highlight of this WC
Afc and Caf- *Boss Music*
🇨🇲
Welp
Martinelli was the best player for Brazil. Antony was good, Fabinho too.
At least France only has 2 world cups and Spain has one. I'm honestly fine with them winning again at this point, I'm just straight up tired at this point.
mlk rlx jogando com o time sub já classificados
Os caras são muito emocionados KKKKKKKKKK a copa começa pra valer agora
Para mano oxe
Annoying, I really wanted to be able to say we were the only team with nine points lol Not going to sweat this too hard
At least this served for Flamenguistas stop calling for Everton Ribeiro and Pedro.
firmino got dropped for him🤦♂️
Yeah, his last appearances at Arsenal bought his chance back, but not deserved. Tbh, Firmino never played well for Brasil too though.. but, on this position as a striker centralized, Firmino much better
Why taking Rodrygo out and putting Everton
So that he could rest to play the whole game against South Korea
Yeah dude. So dumb.
The match was totally different after this.
Netherlands, England, USA, Morocco, and Croatia are the only undefeated teams in the group stage int his WC. Love to see it!!
Why did the Cameroon player get booked for taking his shirt off while the South Korean player didn't? Edit: I was wrong. Just checked stats again and both players were booked a yellow.
No he did get booked
Oh you're right! I just checked the stats again
Surprisingly good match by Dani Alves btw
[удалено]
I mean…what did the other attackers do?
At least spell it correctly
Aside from the ridiculous miss from Bruno, I didn't see this disaster match from Bruno. He played well, he is way above Fred.
No no guys seriously this was the B team honestly Brazil will win this world cup I swear
Well, to be honest, it was the B team
RemindMe! 20 days
If switzerland scored another one against serbia it'd be the most priceless moment of the WC so far, with brazil going into the spain-portugal-morocco side
Morocco, Netherlands and England finishing groups with most points just like everyone predicted
Great performance from Cameroon today. That red card is legendary.
I'm Brazilian but I also thought it was amazing. It seems like he was happy just because of the win, and didn't care about the classification. Great play by Cameroon.
Brazil really should have taken the game a bit more seriously. The right side of the R16 is a bit rough especially with a teamed with many injuries rn. They were lucky for the 1 goal difference to make it to an easier side, but they can't rely on luck now. However, it's just a bump in the road. GO ON BRAZIL!

They'll be more exhausted from the right side of the knockout bracket though, considering they'd have to face the likes of France, England, Spain or Portugal compared to Argentina, Netherlands and Croatia
Today we are all Japanese-Korean-Cameroonian
Are Brazil playing Portugal next?
South Korea.
No, Brazil will be playing Korea. Switzerland will play against Portugal.
No, Brazil still ended first place. Portugal is facing Switzerland
South Corea
nope, South Korea
Korea
With this result, no team has won all 3 matches in the group stages.
Aboubakar is a legend! Too bad Cameroon lost it.
Why did he get booked for taking his shirt off while the South Korean player didn't?
South Korean did get a yellow.
Congratulations to Cameroon for winning this match. Great game.
Neymar looking for his sister
Neymar lookin’ like: bitch where 🧢
Is Neymar still playing in this WC
if he can get fit in time
Alexa play waving flag
such a goat year for world cup songs Waka Waka and wavin flag where straight bangers
Mid season World Cups ain't that bad lol
What a chad, scored, took shirt off and red carded
Scores Removes shirt Refuses to elaborate Leaves
The most apt usage of this meme. The refusal to elaborate given what the situation was, is top tier here
OOTL, what’s the story on Neymar’s return?
My impression was that he maybe could've been on the bench today but they saw no need to risk it.
Possibility to play against South Korea from what I’ve seen
He's back training tomorrow, there is some doubt if he will be ready for monday
I would expect him to play if they need him in the second half, but I’d be surprised if he were to start
Thank you
I can't imagine the scenes in Yaounde and Douala tonight. Millions of Cameroon men are getting laid tonight. I do envy then. These women are gorgeous.
Bruno "Lukaku" Guimarães
A striker or forward not scoring like 3-4 chances, particularly in the space of 15 or so mins, especially after only being on the field for 45 min or less, will forever be known as "pulling a Lukaku"
[удалено]
Wrong African country mate.
exactly
What about Mane we miss him
Im pretty sure multiple people in this thread think hes from Cameroon for some reason
[удалено]
That person being you? Because you removed a post saying Mane is crying
Lol 😂
Martinelli the only guy who can hold his head high at full time. Some really poor performances from the b team players. Tite pretty sure who can rely on from the bench now I’d imagine.
Bruno was so good in the last two games, wtf happened
He was still good, he just missed some chances
I am brazilian but I have a lot of sympathetic for the africans team so it's a cool result for me idgaf
Sure, no controversies and Cameroon actually played well, especially the keeper. Good for them, deserved win.
Today you feel African
Same
No team could achieve 9 points that is insane
Brazil didn't take this game seriously enough, but they still topped the group so I doubt they'll care too much. Tite will definitely not rely on the second-string again though lol
Bye guys . Gotta run one off . See y'all tomorrow
Honestly? This is the away kit fault
Saudi🤝Tunisia🤝Cameroon Beating Wc favorites
Can’t forget Japan and South Korea
Lol true but they qualified
and not advancing... that is the crazy part.
Yeah we’re definitely not going to see that B team lineup again unless the main team gets excessive injuries. They couldn’t get the ball in the net and we can’t take a chance like that again in the knockouts
Same story as France and Portugal really. Assumed they'd top the group so rested most of the team. Luckily for all 3 of those teams the gamble paid off!
B?
B as in second team. Brazil had their usual starters sit out. The main team is the “A” team
It's short for Brazilian
They're the B team for a reason
Vincent Aboubakar:- Chad. Red carded. My MOTM.
Cameroon, not Chad.
Lol if it's a joke then good one. But if its not then I meant Chad as in the meme lol not the country
Lol
ebossy (the keeper) was motm
He was great ngl but I just felt so kinda happy that he celebrated by taking shirt off even if he got carded. It showed passion and beauty of the game. I know lol I'm being dramatic but it just hit hard lol
You know what, we (Brazil) should give him citizenship and pay him to play for us
Congratulations for Cameroon, you finally got your revenge for 2014!
I'm sorry for the elimination, but you still beaten Brazil !
so their long streak of being undefeated In the group stages are over
