  1. Argentina love to complicate their group stage, I suppose they will end up qualifying with a last minute goal or something.
  2. So only Brazil and Portugal can finish the group stage with 9 points,
  3. I don’t know about other countries but in Brazil it seems there has been far less hostility against Qatar than what appears to be happening in Europe and the USA. Generally people here still more worried about our political polarization than about problems from other countries.
  4. According to Globo Esporte, Brazilians online were supporting more Iran than the USA: https://ge.globo.com/futebol/copa-do-mundo/noticia/2022/11/29/indecisao-dos-internautas-e-leve-apoio-ao-ira-os-memes-do-duelo-com-os-eua.ghtml
  5. It seems this will be the lineup: Ederson, Daniel Alves, Militão, Bremer, Alex Telles; Fabinho, Bruno Guimarães, Antony, Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus, Martinelli Still no Everton Ribeiro and Pedro… They will probably need to come in the second half when the score vs Cameroon will still be 0-0.
  6. Brazil will field mostly reserves against Cameroon: https://ge.globo.com/futebol/selecao-brasileira/noticia/2022/11/29/escalacao-do-brasil-comissao-avisa-jogadores-que-tera-time-reserva-contra-camaroes.ghtml
  7. I meant the country itself has always been Iran. A quick check online suggests the Sasanian Empire was called 'Ērānšahr' for instance. I think using the name Persia in the senses you mentioned is a more modern thing.
  8. Iran itself is a good example of a successful name change in foreign languages as it used to be called 'Persia' outside Iran.
  9. It's the other way around, isn't it? They are still officially called Wales but want to be called by the local name Cymru.
  10. I don't think Tite is a big fan of having 3 centrebacks.
  11. Yes, most likely Alex Telles. I suppose Brazil will rest some players for this game.
  12. Brazil is now the only unbeaten South American team. Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay lost one match each.
  13. They probably will, Ecuador's rise is largely due to Independiente del Valle's rise. IDV do a great job developing players.
  14. Ecuador Good luck to Senegal in the next round! I hope they reach the quarterfinals.
  15. Besides Danilo and Neymar, Alex Sandro is also injured and will miss the game against Cameroon:
  16. According to reports in non-English language press, Infantino helped him get released without any sanction, but he has also been banned from the World Cup, and will arrive in Italy on Thursday.
  17. Nice Casemiro goal: Voice of famous commentator Galvão Bueno from Globo in the video.
  18. Antony and other Brazilian players had flu symptoms. The Brazil NT doctors aren’t worried though.
