00:00But Brazil's game was so bad, so bad, that I think I'd rather lose once more to Norway playing like

00:05that

00:06than go through this Brazil and Australia match again.

00:10Combine the national team's terrible performance with the lack of hope in the first game of a new cycle.

00:14And when we look at this match, I have to confess that no one deserves a rating above 6.

00:19And for me, in fact, it was much worse than that.

00:22Joao, Harry and I evaluated the performance of the 11 starters, and I think you're going to agree with our

00:27ratings.

00:27And guys, to wrap up our stream here, to head towards the end, I'd like to suggest we do a

00:33little game here

00:33to give a rating to the players, the starters, right? Or at least the ones who had the most minutes.

00:38And let's see if we can find anyone with at least a barely decent rating.

00:43Will it be from 0 to 10? Man, poor guys.

00:46Let's go, Hugo Souza.

00:49For me, 3.

00:51One save and a goal conceded. What about usual?

00:54I'll write it down here so we can work out an average.

00:56That's tough. I think I'm going to write down a pretty low number.

01:00I'll go with, I was going to say 5, but just for the chat, really.

01:04I'll go with, and then, because Hugo has a massive issue with playing out from the back, right?

01:09Bro?

01:21Let's go, I'll write Hugo.

01:22Hugo's going to just boot it blindly.

01:24And then, even his big clearance away wasn't really a usable kick.

01:27It was kind of like, I think it sucks.

01:30Over to you, Felipe.

01:31Here, I'll also go with...

01:33Going with 4-2.

01:35I don't think he was decisive in the goal conceded, but there was another play that didn't turn into a

01:39save and didn't turn into a goal either.

01:40I think it was a corner for Australia where he's kind of inside the goal and does super poorly.

01:45Yeah, footwork below par.

01:46The save he made on Ayran Kunda's shot was actually good.

01:48But, man, it's also tough to give him a really low rating because...

01:53I don't think it was a good save, bro.

01:54You know what?

01:55What criterion I use to judge a goalkeeper's save, I imagine I close my eyes and picture that ball going

02:00in being a goal.

02:02And I think, damn, no way.

02:03Like, if that goes in, bro, we'd be saying it's an absurd, colossal blunder and that the guy shouldn't be

02:07wearing the Brazilian national team jersey.

02:09So, when the guy actually saves it, I can't call it a good save, you know?

02:13Dude, if he's in there, that's the absolute bare minimum he has to do.

02:16Come on.

02:16His average is 3.6.

02:17I'm writing it down here.

02:19Mefiozinho?

02:194.

02:20Mefiozinho.

02:21I'm going with 4 as well.

02:22Yes.

02:23I thought he was a little nervous.

02:24There was a sliding tackle he went for where he gave way too much space.

02:27It was an all-or-nothing move.

02:29He went in for a tackle like if he gets fast, it's over.

02:31I felt he was a bit nervous.

02:33He had a good little moment there where he kicked the ball off the guy to win a throw-in,

02:37which was smart of him and all.

02:38But he got beaten way too easily on that one play where the other team set up a dangerous attack.

02:43I think it's a 4-2, bro.

02:44He had the toughest matchup.

02:46Aaron Konda is by far like the best player on this Australian team still.

02:50You know, far from being a superstar, a genius.

02:53But he's really strong.

02:54Mefiozinho had that trouble.

02:56At the same time, man, offensively, I saw very little from Mefiozinho.

02:59Sure, the ball wasn't reaching him in good positions, but I expected a bit more from him to be more

03:03aggressive.

03:04And is it tough not to give this rating without considering the context, right?

03:09The guy just got called up.

03:11I think that I don't want to give a 4 anymore.

03:13I think I want to.

03:14I'll go with a 4, man.

03:14There's a whole context.

03:15There's a whole context.

03:17It's Manu's first time playing for the national team.

03:19There's the context that it's Australia, right, man?

03:21Like, if he goes to play with Corinthians against, I don't know, man.

03:24Marisol away from home.

03:25No kidding.

03:26The level isn't that different.

03:29That's tough.

03:30It sucks.

03:30I thought the foul he committed on offense, looking at the human side and the context,

03:35I thought the offensive foul he committed was fair.

03:36And the little mistakes he made on defense, I thought that, like, it's rough, bro.

03:41It was fair.

03:42You know?

03:42The folks in the chat here are also giving some mistakes he made, I'd be pissed, giving

03:46him crazy low ratings.

03:47The folks here are giving their ratings, too.

03:49Nicolas gave Mateuzinho a 5.

03:52JN plays a 10, a 5, as well.

03:55Pedro gave a 3.

03:56Keep joining in, guys.

03:57I'm calculating the average here.

03:59Let's do this.

03:594 sounds fair.

04:00I got a 4.3 average.

04:02Come on, Marquinhos.

04:03Come on.

04:04But Marquinhos didn't even grade these guys because I don't know.

04:06I think the defenders were barely involved in the game.

04:09Yeah, so this is going to be easy.

04:13Usually, I tend to get on the defenders' backs in games like this because I think the center

04:16back fails to play the ball between the lines, you know?

04:18The guy should be bold enough to carry the ball forward and risk a pass to get the ball

04:22forward more.

04:23But today, I think it's fundamentally...

04:24Only Xerox Holmes can tell.

04:27Man, today I thought it was so much the attacker's fault, who only made runs and didn't offer any

04:31support, that I'll cut Marquinhos a bit of slack here, man.

04:35I'll go with me, too.

04:36Regal over there is, like, saying that Marquinhos was the one who lost the ball that led to the

04:40foul.

04:40Honestly, I don't...

04:42I'll go with the...

04:45This time, I'm going with five again.

04:48I don't really like that kind of analysis.

04:50Like, he lost the ball that led to the foul, and the foul was taken really well.

04:53Man, I think it just turns into such a domino effect, you know?

04:56I don't...

04:57And to me, it wasn't a clear-cut chance that he gave away.

04:59Sure, there's a mistake there, too.

05:00He was far from having a brilliant match or a good match.

05:02But a four, I think, is pretty...

05:04Now...

05:05I'm thinking, like, let's suppose every player starts off at five and a half.

05:08I don't know what he did to drop it all the way down to a four, you know?

05:11Then I think, like...

05:12He's not going to come demanding so much for that.

05:14But that's your starting point.

05:15And then, to me, everyone talking, right?

05:17That's what I'm talking about.

05:18Usually, on both sides, the starting point, six, right?

05:22Yeah, exactly.

05:22It is.

05:23It's already fucking high.

05:24The game just starts, and the guy already has...

05:25By your standards, the guy already has a six rating.

05:27That's crazy.

05:27Yeah, then I set this criterion in my head, you know?

05:29Once the game starts, everyone starts at five and a half.

05:31Let's see.

05:32If they give me a reason to lower it, I lower it.

05:33If they give me a reason to raise it, I raise it.

05:35So the center backs, I didn't even, like, notice them, you know?

05:37What about you, Joel?

05:38What'd you give him?

05:39I do all the time.

05:40Just ask.

05:41No, I don't go easy on anyone.

05:43Is it rice?

05:44What's the race?

05:44Four as well.

05:45Same as Martino for me.

05:47Same here.

05:47I'm with.

05:48Just to let you know, Douglas Santos, same thing with us.

05:50Didn't you get the feeling?

05:53You mentioned that thing, right?

05:54About the center backs attempting few passes, right?

05:57That the forwards didn't help.

05:58Didn't you get the feeling that it wasn't really their job either?

06:01With that idea of dropping Bruno to one side and Danilo to the other?

06:04The thing was kind of, the ball has to come out from these two guys' feet.

06:08Either Danilo's or Bruno's.

06:10I think they're the priority, Bruno and Danilo.

06:12But the wide center backs, to me, in that back three that we even showed,

06:16they, to me, will be the players who have the priority to drive the ball forward.

06:20Usually here it was even Marquinhos on the right, right?

06:23Yeah.

06:23Usually Marquinhos was the guy who had more space to carry the ball.

06:26And Danilo was the one who dropped deeper on the left,

06:28being that guy since he's left-footed, right?

06:30Yeah.

06:30So, man, maybe I'd cut Vito Reyes a bit more slack.

06:33But, man, it's just that I think the match was so insignificant

06:37that a 5.56 is just too much, you know?

06:41I saw him anticipate a play that really surprised me.

06:44The Australian forward came short to support the play.

06:47And he anticipated a tough play and won it cleanly.

06:51And right after that, he misplaced the pass to Esteval.

06:54But, like, his decision-making when he stepped up surprised me.

06:57And when he played it to Esteval, it made me happy.

06:59But then the pass was too weak and didn't reach him.

07:02The defender managed to clear it.

07:03It went more to the defender than to Esteval.

07:05Then I thought, damn, that caught my attention a bit.

07:08So that's the thing that I think moves him off the rating he started with, you know?

07:12If my criteria is to start at 5.5, he went up a little bit to 5.6.

07:17Pretty soon, if he gives another reason, he'll go to 6.

07:19So I keep thinking this way, like, in this exercise of rating players and all that.

07:24That caught my attention, which I thought was good.

07:25And there were some decisions, like, there was this play on the sideline

07:28where he and Douglas Santos were marking the same guy,

07:32where they didn't communicate very well.

07:34And then right in the middle of that miscommunication, he said,

07:36hold on, wait a second, he went boom.

07:38Hit it hard toward the sideline, he read the moment, and boom.

07:40And here, in attack, something similar happened too.

07:42And on that one, he managed to keep the ball in play,

07:45to keep it still in dispute so Brazil could keep pressing.

07:48I felt those were decisions that didn't change a damn thing, but I liked them.

07:52Just little details I noticed that made me think, damn, man, I like that guy out there.

07:56Let's see what happens from here on out.

07:57Nice little details like that.

07:59I think 5.5, let me see.

08:00It came out like that.

08:02No, I'll keep it.

08:02You went with 4.2, right?

08:054, 5.5, 4.

08:075.5 and how much?

08:084.5, all right.

08:10That was it.

08:11That was Vito Rice.

08:12That's that.

08:14I'm going with 4.2, man, for the same reasons.

08:16Like, it's far from being a huge disappointment, just as it's far from having added to the game.

08:22Yeah, I disagree with your view, João, in that sense of, dude, all right, he had this

08:26little detail that bumps the rating up a bit.

08:29I think my rating is a bit more overall for the match, because if the guy keeps doing a

08:32bunch of tiny actions that are good, but don't add anything to the game, man, I can't

08:36raise his rating, you know?

08:38Well, then he played this good forward pass, but then the winger got it and gave it to

08:42Ah, Ju.

08:43Matutinho drove it well to the byline, reached the byline, and passed it backwards.

08:47Man, he drove it well and all, you know, then little by little with those tiny ratings,

08:51it's easier for the guy to believe it.

08:52To bump up the rating, then to lower it, and since they added very little to the game,

08:56I'll go with a 4 for Douglas, too.

08:59I mean, on that, too.

09:00Douglas, I'm going with 5.

09:01Good.

09:02That's way too generous, João.

09:03You're being way too generous with these guys.

09:06They were awful against Australia.

09:09No way, against Australia, they played terribly.

09:11You're being way too generous.

09:12Danilo.

09:13Danilo?

09:14Man, for Danilo, I think his rating for me was pretty low, but, like, it's the role.

09:18I just don't like his role, bro.

09:20I think it took away the spot where he felt most comfortable, where he's most effective,

09:24where he could do those little things that bump up his grade.

09:27In the second half, they pushed him up a bit more, but even so, the problem still remained.

09:31Okay.

09:31Here, on 365, Danilo got a 7.5.

09:36It was the third highest rating for Brazil, which surprises me.

09:40It must have been because he didn't miss any passes, right?

09:43Interceptions, four ball recoveries, 90 pass accuracy, five out of six accurate long passes,

09:48and a successful dribble.

09:50Man, I'm giving Danilo a three.

09:52Okay?

09:53And my reason for that is pretty clear, really.

09:55Danilo was involved in several phases of the game.

09:58In the various areas of the pitch, had the potential to unlock the game, and just couldn't manage it.

10:02When he was playing as a third center back on the left, he had the chance to carry the ball

10:06a bit more

10:06and find a pass between the lines or try something different.

10:10He didn't.

10:11In the second half, he had the opportunity to be the guy to come.

10:14Sorry about that email.

10:15Yeah.

10:16And mainly because of that, for not taking up that space, which was the big open space of the game.

10:20For me, Danilo is below the others, a rating of three.

10:22And he also was pretty actively involved in Brazil's high press, right?

10:26In terms of taking up the right position, arriving a little bit too late on one play or another.

10:31Man, that was a long ball.

10:32It was a long ball that Australia messed up in the central channel.

10:35It was like, watching it quickly the first time, I thought Danilo took way too long to press.

10:41Then the guy got some space, and pretty soon Danilo had to scramble back and try to make up for

10:45it.

10:45Bro, the guy messed up the long ball.

10:47Otherwise, we'd be talking about this, about this huge gap in the central channel.

10:50We'd be talking about it.

10:51But the guy messed up the long ball.

10:52Then the ball landed right at the Brazilian defender's feet, but Danilo was super late, right?

10:56Stepping up, the long ball happened because he was super late.

11:00And then he had to chase after it, and he wasn't going to get there either if the guy had

11:02messed up the stat too.

11:04In Brazil's press.

11:05It's tough.

11:05So, what's your score?

11:06Daniel, Danilo has cool hair and all.

11:09So, I think Daniel Danilo walked into the wrong room.

11:11Me too.

11:11Four.

11:12Bruno Guimanez, I'll say right now, gets a four.

11:15For the same reason as the defenders, man.

11:17Did little, added little to the game too, made few mistakes.

11:21So, like, he had a good run where he took a shot almost from the edge of the box, like,

11:25on the right side.

11:26It wasn't even a good shot.

11:27The feeling I got was like, I'm going to take this shot because we need to finish the plays.

11:31We need to start getting more shots off.

11:34Yeah, and it was one of the few initial attacks where Brazil managed to string a few more passes together.

11:38But, man, I really think that's too high of a rating practically for any player there.

11:42I think all of mine are going to be below four.

11:43Right on.

11:45So, for you?

11:45It's low.

11:46How about you, Bruno?

11:47I'll go with Bruno Guimanez, four or three.

11:51Philippo?

11:51I went with four.

11:52Me too, in usual.

11:53I'll go with four and a half.

11:54It's a really great opportunity.

11:56Igor Cabral sent a super chat there saying he's looking out for us.

12:02He said he learned how to tell the guy who's a rookie from the guy who's not a rookie inside.

12:07And now he contaminated his vision.

12:09He only sees that now.

12:11Rookie?

12:11No, he wasn't a rookie.

12:12Now he's a rookie.

12:13No, he wasn't a rookie.

12:13The folks gave a shout out to us.

12:15The three of us.

12:16Say Bob and Ray too.

12:17Damn, we're in this together.

12:18A point of no return, man.

12:19Once you start watching the game more deeply, damn, you sit down to watch a game more casually with friends,

12:24you know?

12:24And you start hearing comments that make your ears hurt, man.

12:28But it's cool.

12:29Cool.

12:29Shout out to our guy Cesar Costa, who's watching us out there, who sent a message here on Twitter, who's

12:38a great Italian football expert, huh?

12:40If you like Italian football, follow him on Twitter, Cesar21Costa.

12:43His profile is really, really good.

12:45Really good analysis of Italian football.

12:48Awesome.

12:49Which, by the way, has my aroma flying high, huh?

12:51They really are flying high.

12:53They really are flying high.

12:53Wesley was missed today.

12:54Played further up the pitch.

12:56Estevon.

12:56Estevon here, who with the 3.05, had the second worst rating of the...

13:00No, I'm going to be harsh.

13:01He only did better than Hugo.

13:01Hard on Estevon.

13:03A two for me.

13:04Two.

13:04I find it really hard to say, bro.

13:06Because, man, up in the attack, it kind of influences the other guy's score.

13:10Everyone together.

13:11So, like, Estevon took some wild shots off target.

13:14Totally random.

13:15Made no sense.

13:16Playing badly.

13:17Except that, like, those wild shots also have a backstory.

13:19In the game, he wasn't really connecting with the guys.

13:21So, whenever there was a chance to link up, his mind was somewhere else and he just decided

13:24to shoot.

13:25And then, like, to what extent was he just fed up with not having anyone to link up with

13:29as often as he wanted?

13:30How much of that was the collective fault of the whole attacking sector?

13:33And to what I said, was it just him messing up?

13:35Look, I find it hard, man.

13:36This whole exercise of giving an individual rating, you know?

13:39I find it hard, but I think he was the one who touched the ball the most.

13:42Joao is going to give Estevon an 8.

13:43Joao is sitting on the fence way too much, man.

13:46A huge detour just to get to the point.

13:48Give your score, Joao, without beating around the bush.

13:50I give it a 5.

13:51That's it.

13:52I mean, that's that.

13:52I'll go with a 4 for Estevon.

13:54I think he was the best of Brazil's attack.

13:56Still, a 4 is pitiful for a game against Australia.

13:59He looked for the ball a bit more, but he could have been that guy to make a difference

14:02there between the lines that we, for now...

14:05The best average goes to Vitoris, 4.5.

14:07But it's crazy, man.

14:08You start thinking this whole thing about rating players.

14:10Man, what rating do you give to Hendrik?

14:11Which, Hendrik, to me, Hendrik played poorly, but he was the guy who made himself available

14:14the most.

14:15The guy who gave the most passing options.

14:16The guy who...

14:16I keep thinking, how bad was he really?

14:19Like, you get it?

14:20He fought hard.

14:20So, like, if you look at what he actually did in the game, how effective he was, his rating

14:24drops way down.

14:25But if you look at how he was the guy seeking the ball, calling for it, tried to do something

14:28and was almost kind of restless, you know?

14:31You can give your score the average.

14:33Here it is, so he can try to balance it.

14:35Hendrik, for me, I'm going with a 4.

14:38Man, Hendrik, Rafinha and Vini were really bad.

14:41To me.

14:42To the point where they lacked support.

14:44They lacked...

14:45If we say Brazil was stretching the field the whole time and that space was there, man,

14:48I expected some player to step up right there.

14:51Oh, but that's not Hendrik's main strength.

14:53Come on, but not showing up between the lines even once in the game?

14:56Not linking up even once.

14:57And then, sure, there were a few runs in behind, one or two chances there.

15:01But man, that's way too little.

15:02He stepped into the box, appealed for like two penalties there.

15:04There was one during Bruno Guimaraes' shot, right?

15:07Where he showed up and got a slight touch on it there.

15:10Man, how these guys love to call for penalties.

15:15Holy shit.

15:16Three for me too.

15:17I almost went to 3-2, but I want four to bring his average up.

15:20Rafinha, I'll go with 8.4.

15:21João, Philippão, João is the nice teacher.

15:26Nice teacher.

15:26The guy is screwed in summer school with all his grades.

15:29Goes there and gives an 8 to the guy who got a 3 in science.

15:33A 2 in history, in geography.

15:35Then João, the math teacher, goes there and gives the guy an 8.

15:38It's that thing.

15:39The guy is going to summer school.

15:42Horrible GPA for the whole year.

15:43A 3.

15:44The guy says, hey, teacher, can't you round it up?

15:46You won't round it up.

15:47I studied so...

15:48Round a 3 up to a 6?

15:49I studied like hell.

15:51Rafinha is a 3 for me too, all right?

15:53Rafinha got an 8.4, I think, largely because of the assist.

15:56And let's be honest, right?

15:57Man, a corner kick taken like that, I think it should carry less weight.

16:00And by the way, man, I think I'm going with a 2 for Rafinha

16:03because Rafinha was one of the main guys responsible for that,

16:06for leaving the team stretched apart.

16:07And Rafinha has more potential than Hendrik to be the guy who drops back.

16:10And Rafinha had maybe the best chance of the game

16:12with Hendrik in a stable right beside him to make the pass.

16:15And he chose to take a terrible shot instead,

16:17which led absolutely nowhere just like that.

16:202 for me too.

16:20Me too.

16:21I'll go with 3.

16:23But that's what gets me.

16:24What backs up that opinion?

16:25That's what gets me.

16:26It's the decision-making.

16:27Seriously, like it's bizarre.

16:29Decision-making really gets to me.

16:30And it's decision-making that won't...

16:32Which is what this...

16:33Any stats website and stuff won't take that into account.

16:35Just like we said about Danilo's pressing,

16:37that he arrived late and ended up giving...

16:39The stats site won't catch that.

16:41What will the site take into account?

16:43What?

16:44That Rafinha came close and took a shot.

16:45So fine, maybe that even bumps up his rating.

16:47But when you look at the circumstances, man,

16:49the decision-making, it's absurd that he chose to shoot that ball there.

16:52Exactly.

16:53Yeah.

16:53And Vini Jr., man, to me, might have been the worst on the pitch.

16:56Him and Rafinha, pretty much.

16:57And dare I say, okay,

16:59if Vini and Rafinha were making their national team debut today,

17:02I think they would have played better, man.

17:04They've gotten caught in a cycle of pressure with the national team

17:06and having to be the guys who deliver and so on,

17:09that it's only dragging their game down.

17:11For me, Vini and Rafinha, a 2 out of 10.

17:14Damn, on Vini, on Vini...

17:16Just for you, João, 2.5 for Vini.

17:18He can't catch up to Rafinha, right?

17:19That was crazy.

17:20He's not going to catch up, no.

17:21Because my rating for Vini is 0.

17:23Yeah.

17:25That's a good show, isn't it?

17:27But, like...

17:28One thing I got to say,

17:29Vinicius is way better looking after that facial harmonization.

17:32Yeah, man.

17:33That's...

17:33That might go up.

17:34Maybe we're starting to find the problem is, right?

17:38I don't like talking about that kind of stuff,

17:40personal life and all.

17:41Health players,

17:42because I think everyone has their own life,

17:44but maybe his issue is starting to show, right?

17:45Look, this is how our team ratings turned out.

17:47Hugo, 3.6.

17:50Mateuzinho, 4.3.

17:52Marquinhos, 4.3.

17:54Vitor Reis, 4.5.

17:55The best, the highest average, right?

17:57Douglas Santos, 4.3.

17:58Danilo, 3.6.

18:00Bruno Guimarães, 4.1.

18:02Esteban, 3.6.

18:03Hendrick, 3.3.

18:05Rafinha, 2.3.

18:07And Vinny Jr., 1.5.

18:09What was Vitor Reis' score there?

18:11The average?

18:114.5.

18:12The best.

18:13Man.

18:14Brazil's highest rating against Australia was 4.5.

18:17That's it, folks.

18:18I think that's where we get lost, right?

18:20Jeez.

18:21What was Vitor Reis' score there and now?

18:21Well, I think that's where we get lost.

18:21I think we got lost.

18:21If we do some pressure like Wall Street,

18:21we believe that the World west length agree more tranquility.
