I feel like Brazil hasn't been good in a long time, and that could be putting too much pressure on them. They haven't won the world cup in a long time, last time they won was in 2002 which means by 2026 we would see 24 years of no titles for them here and that is why we can't really look at this as a potential success, they haven't been good.

The Brazilian national team faces a challenge in finding world-class talent after the era of Cafu, Carlos, and Ronaldo. Neymar is now the only bright star. But i think, there is also potential starting to shine: Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo have impressed on the European stage, while Gabriel Martinelli and Endrick also have a bright future. In midfield, Bruno Guimaraes looks good too, an in defense, Eder Militao and Bremer showing their strength and they are young enough for world cup. Carlo Ancelotti Love Brazilian talent while coaching AC Milan, so there's a good chance he could discover and polish another hidden gem for the national team.

I'm sorry but I totally disagree. Let's take a look at the players you mention:
- Neymar is constantly injured, he has a huge talent but we can barely call him a football player at this point;
- Vinicius Jr. is good but nowhere near to Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, or other Brazilian players of the past;
- Rodrygo is kept in high consideration because he plays for Real Madrid but in reality he is an average player, he's been at Madrid for years and he never became a starter player;
- Bruno Guimarães is a good player, not a star, otherwise at 27 he wouldn't be playing for Newcastle (with all due respect);
- Éder Militão, good defender, for sure he is no VVD, I prefer Marquinhos over him;
- Bremer, he is good, very good, but he had a serious injury, let's see how he comes back.

Does Brazil have a good team? Yes. Does Brazil have a very good team? In my opinion, no.
