They're not that far off then, are they?

But I just feel like there's too much there.

Okay.

Yeah, I'm on similar lines because when you look at, for me, my first World Cup is 2006.

Sorry, yes.

it's better than 2010 like Keres was the other day yeah I know when I think of Brazil at World Cup it's all about moments really it's not it's not about you know getting deep into the tournament it's Maicon in South Africa with that weird goal from from the angle it's the 7-1 against Germany unfortunately but

And Neymar, even when we think about the last World Cup and his unbelievable individual goal against Croatia, they ended up losing that game on penalties.

So for me, they're not a nation that I look at as real contenders.

I look at them as a nation that everyone must respect and know about because of their history and individual players.

Like this shirt is Kaka on the back because he's one of my favorite players.

But Neymar,

as a group, as a collective, haven't taken them seriously for a while, especially when you look at the centre-forwards they take to tournaments.

I mean, Fred going to 2014, that's something that sticks out in my mind and I don't think they've really rectified that area of the pitch either.

And when you look at his career in management, he's the best Champions League manager.

I mean, when you're looking at that competition and how he got not just Real Madrid, but AC Milan earlier on to get to finals, win finals and create that environment that allows players to feel free.

I think you're probably looking at the perfect marriage in terms of a manager and a nation and what each other needs.

So that's the big thing for them going into this World Cup, having that manager that can enable them to be themselves.

Yeah, I saw Hakimi was speaking before the game saying that people call Morocco the Brazil of Africa.

I don't think anyone would go that far, but I do understand where he's coming from in terms of them, you know, going that far in 2022.

I know all the controversy about the AFCON final, but they were able to reach that final.
