Argentina humiliates Brazil 4-1 in World Cup Qualifier

Brazil suffered a devastating 4-1 defeat to Argentina, its worst loss to the rival since 1964. Unlike the infamous 7-1 World Cup semifinal loss to Germany, this was 90 minutes of complete domination.

Argentina controlled the midfield, exposing Brazil’s tactical and structural weaknesses.

Despite boasting world-class talent, Brazil struggled to create chances, with Matheus Cunha’s goal coming from a defensive error. Meanwhile, Argentina’s fluid attack picked apart Brazil’s defense with ease.

Under Dorival Junior, Brazil has conceded 16 goals in 14 qualifiers—far worse than under former coach Tite. Calls for a foreign coach, like Carlo Ancelotti, have resurfaced as local managers continue to struggle.

Dorival’s claim that the team is “evolving” lacks evidence, and his position is under serious threat. With Brazil set to face Ecuador in June, speculation grows over whether he will remain in charge.
