The Athletic FC Podcast · Are Ancelotti's Brazil serious World Cup contenders? · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

2018, they lose in the quarterfinals to Belgium.

2014, that happened.

2010, they lose in the... I want to say...

They lose to the Netherlands.

And this has been this big question over Brazil, whether they start well or however.

There's this idea that when they play a quote-unquote top European side, it then all unravels.

They don't look, I mean, going by most bracket predictions, they don't necessarily look scheduled to face one of those bogey European sides in the immediacy.

So that we could have a, hopefully...

good Brazilian run up into a quarterfinal stage and then things start getting murky.

Look, World Cups are better when Brazil are having fun and they seem to be having fun now.

So I'm happy.

Okay, so before the World Cup,

Carlo Ancelotti was asked by journalists as to what he felt of Hendrik and why he doesn't give Hendrik more playing time in the Brazil national team.

And Carlo largely rebuffed it and gave what Jack Lang referred to as a death glare when he was questioned about this.

So now this has become this sort of miniature cottage industry of...

Football memes where people go, Hendrik says he likes something and then Carlo Ancelotti's response is to do the complete opposite.

So if Hendrik goes, oh wow, I like hamburgers without pickles, then the meme will then be Carlo Ancelotti just like throwing pickles into a hamburger.

And because now we can get auto-translate on various tweets and other things.

You can just fill your entire feed full of Portuguese language tweets.

And yes, I have two different football group chats in my life.
