Brazil lost 4-1 to Argentina at the Monumental in round 14 of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers.

It was the Selecao’s heaviest-ever defeat in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The Brazilian team on the day lacked everything. They failed to fight, they failed to run and they failed to defend the yellow and blue jersey.

The Brazillian media had reported soon after the horror show in Buenos Aires. Dorival Jnr was never going to survive. On Friday morning in Brazil, the CBF decided to sack the head coach for not being able to improve the Selecao, since he replaced Tite.

Brazil sits 4th and is looking likely to finish in the top 6 to secure an automatic slot in the USA-CANADA-MEXICO World Cup in 2026.

Argentina is the only team from South America to have qualified with four games to end the gruelling qualifiers.
