I also didn't imagine we would see this result. I knew Argentina was the favorite, and that they would probably win, but I expected something like 1x0 or 2x1. When I opened the video start watching the match in real time, it was already 3x1 for Argentina and it was still the beginning of second half.
Here we have to repeat the same thing over and over again that Brazil is not in the same position as it was before.
I am not saying that Brazil does not have any world class players, but most of the world class players they have, luckily, perform well in club performances and show poor performance in national team performances.
Brazil got really lucky, because the result could have been much worse yet, with so many shootings from Argentina directly to the goal. It was the worst result for Brazil in the history of qualifiers, and yesterday's game now belongs to the worst moments of brazilian soccer, side by side with the 7x1 for Germany in 2014's World Cup.
haha, You are right, maybe Brazil was lucky in the last match that they did not see a repeat of the seven-goal deficit. However, in my opinion, the most favorite team for the next World Cup will be Argentina, along with Brazil, although the performance of the next match will depend on how well Brazil can maintain their position.
