The Italy thing gives me incredible pain, for me the Italians have a great style of play, also their history defines them a lot, there are already two World Cups in a row that we don't see them, I think that Italian Soccer needs to have more discipline, and that is It starts with the leagues, series A a few years ago had great fame, I know that the pandemic affected clubs around the world a lot, but I think it is time for not only the Bundesliga, the Spanish league, to shine, but also the Italian must be the protagonist, the French league is currently quite famous, in this if the money should move to promote the sport.

It is difficult to call the French league famous, given that everyone is talking about only one club (and a few years ago it was two clubs).
The absence of Italy from the World Cup is of course a big blow both for the fans and for the championship itself, but I would not say that things are bad in the Italian championship - the last season was one of the most interesting compared to other top leagues. If we talk about the economic background, then Italy is no worse than other competitors (Germany, Spain, France), but like them, it lags far behind England. From what I've heard, England is the undisputed leader in club earnings from both ticket sales and broadcasting.
With FIFA increasing the number of participants in the next World Cup, Italy should definitely be there.

You are right, I think Italy should go to the next World Cup, I know that Serie A may not have as much fame now because there are not many famous players playing, most of them are in the PL, in the Spanish League, French League, Bundesliga , and that fact alone does not attract a lot of publicity, at the moment I see that an Italian team is moving very well for Roma, it has made very good contracts and has a great coach, on the other hand we have that most of the coaches only seek not relegation in Serie A, they take great care of that, at the time that CR7 was at Juve the popularity of the clubs grew, I think that all this comes from the great pandemic of 2020 and 2021 that left several teams in the club very badly off world.

you know what, the fact that Germany did that out of nowhere and beat Brazil with a humiliating score in their hike stadium makes me think that they can't do it again, if they face each other again things will be different, and if I'm being honest I don't think Germany has a team that can win the world cup this year, I'd argue that 2014 Germany was better.

Germany is probably going to be the biggest rival of Brazil in this world cup in my mind. Miroslav Klose scored the 2 - 0 for Germany in that 7 - 1 match against Brazil, surpassing Ronaldo's world cup goals record, and they ended up winning that world cup... it was devastating for Brazil.

Although some other teams might be even worse for Brazil:

Interestingly, Brazil has never won in the world cup against these three teams: Switzerland, Portugal, and Hungary.

And The Netherlands has won 3 times against Brazil in the world cup, with only one loss and one draw. The Netherlands seems to be the most difficult team for Brazil.

You're right, the truth is that I would really like the Netherlands to reach a final and win it, I don't know, maybe Brazil will reach the final, but they have to beat Argentina, Portugal, and those countries are very strong in football, not to mention England because they play excellent and have a very good league, plus the English style is very rough and usually very strong, it's shocking and I think that can also be imposed in the World Cup.

As they have talked a lot about Germany, yes, it is a clear favorite to win the World Cup, and France is another candidate to win, so every time we see these teams they will have the world's attention.
