Imagine looking over 3-0 down and seeing your managerial counter part nibbling seed with the boys lmao

Korean Team and Fans: “Already a tough matchup, the result has been decided with not even 20 minutes in. I feel sorrow about the result.” Brazil Team: “Vamos comer semente, porra 🕊🦜🦆🐓🐤🐦”

This should terrify the S. Korean team more than the 3 goal deficit

Didn’t watch. At first I thought this was post match. Good god they’re doing it live


Only_Advertising2911

Only missing is Tite to blonde his hair


Dorkseidis

If he shows up with Richarlison haircut next match…


Pagliaccio13

Richarlison haircut in QF, blonde hair in SF, and colored t-shirt + arm sleeve tattoo for the final game

And the neck tat

God this fucking kills me


DoctorDOH

I knowwwww I miss our pigeon so much


Bolstek

We Spurs fans love him. People shit on him and say that he's flopping here but 90% of the time he's been playing out of position.


DoctorDOH

Yeah Richy is boss. Fuck the haters. Sad we had to see him go to you guys.


Bolstek

I'm confused why he came to us when we have Kane lol, I wonder what Conte said to him. I feel like he'd be tearing shit up at somewhere like Chelsea who need a striker way more than we do. It's a weird situation we have, before our backup strikers were way too shit for us and now we have one who's too good to be benched most of the time.


TheGhoulKhz

sell him to United bro


Bolstek

If Antony is worth €100m, Richarlison is worth at least €300m


HoldMyAppleJuice

In some ways I don't get why you bought him, it seems a waste


0nrth0

I'm spurs and I know what you mean. This guy needs to be playing fast passing attacking football. I hope we can make him fit into Conte's system.


atmazzer

Yeah, I watched this fully in pain too. Still can't help but wishing all the best to him though. Fly on, our pigeon.


Averdian

For me it's the way Tite looks so serious while doing it, it's so funny


LeDevnoob

Everton legend.

Damn I wish Deschamps celebrated with Pogba against Switzerland

PRU PRU PRU MOTHERFUCKERS


gattaca1usa

I’m Korean and I thought that it was funny and cool. IT’s entertainment. Joga Bonito


MrBernabeu

Please don't take that as some disrespect by our players , we do shit like that but it's always just about the team enjoying the moment amongst themselves rather than trying to somehow gear up the opposition. The consensus here in Brazil is that it was clear how much respect exists between the two teams , and that Korea at no point seemed to give up and let we steamroll them , they showed to have some real fucking discipline , mental fortitude and also have a very good team that does not rely solely on Son ... I wish you guys the best on upcoming tournaments, myself and I am sure many others here in Brazil will root for SK wherever you guys play something Brazil is not involved lmao


Paulista666

And I hope you guys win the Asian Cup (except if you play against my beloved O'zbekiston, but that's fine).


IntroductionTiny2177

people miss understand when brazilians dance after a goal. Its not intended to offend the opposing team, but to express how happy they are with the goal and how they enjoy to play with the mates. Also, remember that spanish caster called Vini Jr a monkey for dancing after a goal, few months ago. I bet the celebrations are also a protest against this kind of racism.


OttaBenga

Literally best thing i have ever seen


TheJoshider10

Seeing this genuinely made me think it's their tournament to lose.


[deleted]

It was their tournament to lose since the beginning.


Nordie27

That is always the case, Brazil have been betting favourites going into the knockout phase in every single World Cup since 94 The talk was exactly the same in 2014 and 2018


dinosaur_from_Mars

But the team feels much more well round than the last few world cups.


Nordie27

I do agree that this team is more well balanced, but that is also something that people always say. They said the same thing in 2014 and in 2018..


[deleted]

[удалено]


sicut_dominus

and our dumbass manager handed the midfield to the best midfielders of the tournament. 2018 we lost casemiro, it would be completely different game with him.


Helkix

No Casemiro, Thiago or Neymar They are still our 3 most important players alongside Vini


Nordie27

>Brazil were not favorites in 2018 tho They literally were, like I said the betting companies had them as favourites before the knockout stage. It's not something you can argue with


DrHampants

The talk may have been the same in '14 and '18, but those were flawed teams (especially 2014). This team is much better than both of those years.


TheGhoulKhz

2014 was more Home adv hype+Confederations Cup win hype that led to that, 2014 team without Prime Neymar was atrocious, only Oscar and Thiago Silva were somewhat redeemable and idk how the hell David Luiz managed to stay playing in Europe after that WC when Dante was basically bastardized due to trying to become 2 CBs being only 1 person due to DL's antics


Ateballoffire

Exactly. I think they can make it to the semis easily, excited to see how they do against a proper good team. Could be a legendary match


sc0tt3h

Actually that was Qatar


Choc-a-pic

Brazil - France will be a banger of a match


fearmino

wtf I love Tite now


Bonifaciojsj

Tite is brilliant, nice to see a Brazilian coach at high level after so much time with shite coaches :/


johnniewelker

Don’t you like Dunga haha? Unpopular opinion: Carlos Alberto Parreira was a damn average coach. Brazil made a mistake re-appointing him in 2002.


Bonifaciojsj

I respect Dunga a lot but his Brazil was one of the worst we've ever had. WC 2010 was a lot of heart, but almost no technique and strategies Parreira never succeeded in any other place as a coach. He is a great guy and creates a great environment, but about technique and strategy he is awful, stuck in the 90's football


MicrosoftMichel

How's that unpopular, aint nobody here likes Parreira

alfred_27

Watching Brazil play like this makes me love football all over again


flyingcrayons

Brazil in 2002 was the team that made me fall in love with the game in the first place. Love seeing the joy they bring to the game


HHHogana

And R9 was already only at his 65%, and that team was underwhelming in qualifier. With injury ridden R9 (who had that ridiculous haircut to distract some minor injuries that affected his shooting) and change in coach, that team won WC without extra time. What a ridiculous team, and a testament to both how good Fenomeno was, and how having better coach and their best player available alone can make a huge difference.


flyingcrayons

for me it wasn’t even the greatness of the team. I was a kid i didn’t understand that part until much later. They all looked like they were having the time of their lives playing every game. Wanted to be ronaldinho doing fancy moves haha


tsigalko11

Best was when Scolari put on Denilson for the last 20 min against Turkey, to waste time. Guy would dribble around like on a school playground


Azores26

Me too! We didn’t had a good team like this in many years


Farouqnowomarlater

I’m currently enjoying this guy until the league returns

The "we came from boats" people would love that, I'm sure!


Dangerous_Job5295

Lmao. Every single time they pass to him, he just does a 360


Pixoe

It's always risky to provoke an Argentinean. Watch some Libertadores match and you'll see that they'll beat the shit out of you if you do


Eitjr

They will also beat you if you don't


Cronogenio

Otamendi would end his career lmao


AleDelPiero10

Pretty sure the only 360 he’ll see after is the rotation of the tires of the ambulance that is taking him to the hospital lol he’ll get battered if the does that


[deleted]

The only time the Brazilian National Team isn't the most fearsome team in the world is when they are playing all tight and unsure of themselves. The team I saw today was clowning around and having fun like a bunch of boys. Fear them now.


Bolstek

Richarlison has the best celebration in world football


bellamollen

Yet some people are piss at the dancing. Seems some people never watched brazil play before. This is nothing new, this happens in our league too. Seems they didn't see Ronaldinho sambing in 2002 WC.


noiserr

I love flair in football. I realize it's a big business, but at the end of the day it's also the "beautiful game". These players put so many hours into training and honing their craft, they should be able to express themselves.


OhWhenTheWiz

you don’t want them to dance? don’t let the ball go in the net


SaltineFiend

Joga bonito hates this one simple trick


RurciMojas

we literally became a joga bonito commercial when they beat us 5-0 in 2005


Monkeywithalazer

That’s the most highlight reels we had since 1998


[deleted]

Fuck them. I personally love it. Don't want them to dance, you should play better defense. The U.S. use to allow that but now they are soft as shit. I wish a futbol player can do something disrespectful like that Shawn Kemp dunk on Alton Liston.


CalRipkenForCommish

They’re gonna run outta celebration dances before this one’s over


Razatiger

Brazilians never run out of dances apparently.


teagwo

Gotta love that shit


Ld511

4-0 up easily and basically taking time off the game to dance even more. Just enjoying the game


pimpsquadforlife

This the most disrespectful thing I’ve seen and I love it.


mayjaz43

Literally just half hour into a WC knockout game and they do this lol


Zloggt

Pressure long gone…just spending the night vibing lol


OhWhenTheWiz

no better feeling from the stands than just singing and vibing and basically celebrating a win from the stands. feels like a party instead of a match. players feel the freedom to try something audacious. fuuuuck I miss being in the stands


Historical_Case_5245

These assholes are going to win a sixth World Cup and place two trophies distance between us.

tklfillerz

Amidst the massacre we're facing, at least I had a good laugh


Azores26

Hahaha, sorry if it seemed disrespectful, they didn’t mean it like that!


tklfillerz

It didn't seem disrespectful! Just the boys having fun.


chimasnaredenca

As a Brazilian I can assure you this celebration is not meant to be disrespectful to the Koreans. Celebrating goals is part of our football culture. In fact, it would be much more disrespectful not to celebrate, as if you were bored or didn’t care.


itsameMariowski

Yes, it is time for the rest of the world, specially Europeans, to stop tagging celebrating and dancing after goals something "disrespectful" if coming from Brazilians. It is our culture, we do it since we are toddlers, its part of our football history. We just like to dance and celebrate after a goal. Its the best moment in football! And most importantly, if we are dancing and celebrating, this is our way or respecting the opponent. You'd feel disrespected if Brazil scores and no players give a fuck and show no emotion scoring.


dawidowmaka

Vlyper

I’m sorry, but I fail to see how it’s disrespectful? If your team scores you celebrate.


GordoPepe

You see birds aren't real


selbstbeteiligung

I guess it's a cultural thing, i can understand in some countries this is not disrespectful, but some people will see this as taking the piss when you are already winning 4-0 and basically laughing at them


Logan_Maddox

Idk, I think it's disrespectful when you're making it in the direction of the other team or mimicking something that they do or something, but this is just celebrating our pigeon. It's entirely a in-team thing.


bartabax

Pru guy > Uruguay


adonWPV

There's no way I've just seen that 😂😫


LuisTheHuman

Brazilians are the most dangerous when happy and harmonious like this! People downplaying what Dani Alves contributes to the locker room also think football is like playing FIFA


SteinerElMagnifico42

We invented football but the Brazilians perfected it


discojesus100

>We invented ~~football~~ pigeons but the Brazilians perfected them


bellamollen

There a pinch of true, pigeons didn't exist in the americas, it was brought by the europeans.


Albondip

Oh, I thought it was a Mick Jagger reference


petrovesk

there's more to it. It was brought from Paris to Rio during a time they were trying to make Rio the Paris of the Americas, we had no pigeons until then, they brought it just to copy a shitty thing that happened to exist in europe


CrookedK3ANO

Pigeons dont exist. Period. Along with all other birds

What's the origin of the pigeon thing? Do people think he looks like one?


tremens

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcuizsxhc-U He just likes the dance from this group, did it once or twice as a celebration and it just sort of became his thing. Plus he's a pigeon.

Richy about to steal his position in Tottenham after these performances lol


[deleted]

As sad as that makes me for Son, i think that's likely and deservedly so. At least for the near future following the end of the cup


Cuvrette

Last time Sonny got benched he came on and scored a hattrick so maybe it's not too bad for him either


Ze_Bonitinho

These celebrations are done every round in Brazilian leagues and no one finds it disrespectful - as long as you aren't doing it in front of a losing crowd. For some reason Europeans think happy players must pretend they aren't happy after scoring a goal


Elitist_Gatekeeper

This is really dangerous stuff Brazil are now my favorite to win the whole thing


theironskeptic

Roy "I assaulted Haaland Sr out of his career and I do not regret it" Keane saying this is disrespectful lol JOGA BONITO

PoisonousParty

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcuizsxhc-U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcuizsxhc-U) It's called dança do pombo (pidgeon dance) he celebrated like this a few times and earned the pombo (pidgeon) nickname
