28 years. That's how long Brazil will have waited to win a World Cup, if our dream of becoming six-time champions finally comes true in 2030. Because in 2026, we are saying goodbye to the World Cup.
Who would have thought that Haaland, one of the greatest players I've had the privilege of watching over the years, would end up being the main reason behind Brazil's elimination. Haaland completely dominated Brazil and scored two beautiful goals. Full credit to Norway. It was an absolutely deserved victory, and even though they were the team that knocked Brazil out, they remain one of the teams I'm rooting for the most in this World Cup, alongside Colombia. What this team has been doing is simply beautiful to watch.
Brazil did not play a good match. Up to a certain point, everything was very balanced, but in my opinion, Ancelotti made a decisive mistake by taking Rayan off the field. Even though he wasn't having his best day offensively, he had been playing an almost perfect defensive role. Coincidence or not, it was right after that substitution that Haaland's goals came.
Unfortunately, Neymar hasn't played top-level football for a long time, and for me, this was Ancelotti's second mistake. Brazil was practically playing with one man less on the field. But forgive me, my fellow Brazilians, if there was one positive thing about this elimination, it was that it happened with Neymar on the pitch. Maybe this will finally put an end to a debate that should have ended a long time ago. He shouldn't even have been called up.
In the end, this post is a farewell. I think that, at some point, I genuinely allowed myself to believe in this team. It felt like things might actually work out. But deep down, I believe most Brazilians were simply trying to believe, because the real feeling was one of doubt. It was more faith than conviction.
It's a shame that the World Cup takes so long to come around again. Now we'll have to wait another four years to support Brazil once more. And until then, I sincerely hope that the next generation will be better. We cannot allow the soul of our country to fade away. We need to become, once again, the true country of football.
So, until 2030.

28 anos. Esse é o tempo que o Brasil terá esperado para conquistar uma Copa do Mundo, caso o sonho do hexa finalmente aconteça em 2030. Porque, em 2026, estamos nos despedindo da Copa.
Quem diria que Haaland, um dos grandes jogadores que tive a honra de acompanhar ao longo dos anos, seria justamente o principal responsável pela eliminação do Brasil. Haaland colocou o Brasil no bolso e marcou dois belos gols. Todo o mérito para a Noruega. Foi uma vitória extremamente merecida e, mesmo sendo a seleção que eliminou o Brasil, continua sendo uma das equipes para as quais mais torço nesta Copa, ao lado da Colômbia. O que esse time vem fazendo é simplesmente lindo de assistir.
O Brasil não fez uma boa partida. Até determinado momento, tudo estava muito equilibrado, mas, na minha opinião, Ancelotti cometeu um erro decisivo ao tirar o Rayan. Apesar de ele não estar em um grande dia ofensivamente, vinha fazendo uma partida praticamente perfeita na recomposição defensiva. Coincidência ou não, foi justamente depois disso que os gols de Haaland aconteceram.
Infelizmente, Neymar já não joga futebol em alto nÃvel há muito tempo, e aqui está, para mim, o segundo erro de Ancelotti. O Brasil praticamente atuou com um jogador a menos em campo. Mas, desculpem-me meus compatriotas brasileiros, se houve algo que valeu a pena nesta eliminação, foi justamente ela acontecer com Neymar em campo. Talvez isso encerre, de uma vez por todas, uma discussão que já deveria ter terminado há algum tempo, ele nem deveria ter sido convocado.
No fim, este post é uma despedida. Acho que, em algum momento, eu realmente coloquei esperança nesta seleção. Parecia que as coisas poderiam dar certo. Mas, no fundo, acredito que a maioria dos brasileiros estava apenas tentando acreditar, porque a sensação real era de desconfiança. Era mais fé do que convicção.
É uma pena que a Copa do Mundo demore tanto para voltar. Agora, teremos que esperar mais quatro anos para torcer novamente pelo Brasil. E, até lá, espero sinceramente que a próxima geração seja melhor. Não podemos permitir que a alma do nosso paÃs se perca. Precisamos voltar a ser, de verdade, o paÃs do futebol novamente.
Então, até 2030.

In my opinion majority the blame goes to the coach Ancelloti,his changes were not good enough.How can bring in Neymar in such a crucial moment,when have player like Joao Pedro on the bench!
Secondly,Vini should know how to take responsibility,for me he his the superstar of this team,why give away the penalty.He should have taken the penalty himself.
Anyway it is quite sad,that they went out this way.It is what it is.
