Brazil reigns again and reaches sixth star | Relief

4,340 days later, Brazil became world champions again. The sixth star of “Canarinha” was waited for 12 years. The great favorite decided the historical relevance of the most successful team at the World Championships (1989, 1992, 1996, 2008 and 2012) in Uzbekistan 2024. And he did it in a South American classic that, paradoxically, turned out to be an unprecedented final. Squad greenyellow beat Argentina 2-1 in a match that FIFA had dreamed of to erase the tenth edition’s scant and inconsistent publicity and the scandals caused by the outdated competition system.

Despite this, President Gianni Infantino presided over the final match at the Humo Arena in Tashkent and was able to see the best match of the 52 played in 22 days at the World Cup in Uzbekistan. Two colossi facing each other. Brazil should have won out of commitment and Argentina out of loyalty. The Albiceleste, champions of 2016 with Diego Giustozzi, were playing in their third final in a row, and did so with the “group” of Matias Lukuiks, asserting themselves in the midst of a generational change and against all odds after the failures of Spain and Portugal. Special mention goes to Ukraine, which defeated controversial France 7-1 to equal its best historical result in 1996.

Ferrao put Brazil ahead after a spectacular cross from Marseño in the 5th minute. The Brazilian center was injured when hit by opponent Corso and was unable to play again. This led to Marquinhos Javier having to turn to Pito, who missed the quarter-finals and semi-finals due to a muscle injury and with Barca being devastated by the FIFA virus. The Barca power forward had to be sent off after he was late for coverage of a match with Claudino and hit him with an iron. However, Spanish referees Cordero Gallardo and Martinez Flores did not take into account in their video support review that he had to see a red card.

In the 12th minute, Rafa Santos saved Felipe Valerio’s shot to make it 2-0, just as he did in the Copa America final in February. Too harsh a punishment for Argentina, who have faced Willian time and time again. One of the successes of the Brazil coach at this World Cup. From the first game he gave a start to the Russian Norilsk goalkeeper “Nickel”, ahead of Gitta and Roncaglio. Nevertheless, No team managed to keep a clean sheet in the final, and Brazil failed to do so against Argentina with the impressive William. Spain came close in 2004, but Seco Zanetti scored the winner for Italy with 32 seconds remaining.

With 7 minutes left, Argentina elected to play out of five with Gauna. Matias Lukuix handed over the goalkeeper’s shirt to Matias Rosa, who managed to reduce the deficit in the 38th minute after deflecting off William’s shot from Arrieta’s left foot. The center of Jaen Paraiso received invaluable help from Diego Suffo (the best player of the World Cup), who deflected the ball just enough so that his goalkeeper could not block it. It was a final worthy of two champions, but only one could win. Albiceleste protested the lack of a review of the latest game in video support.

In Uzbekistan, the Seleção was not only a podium of stars, but also a constant exercise in collective defense with the masterful tactical balance of Marquinhos Xavier. putting the quality of your players at the service of the team. In their last game they didn’t shine and didn’t win the golden boot (Marseille) but they won with the support of their goalkeeper like Willian (golden glove) in front of an outstanding competitive exercise from the Argentines who played in this world without any inhibitions . Derby.

Just over a year ago, FIFA confirmed the dates for the first Women’s World Cup to be held in the Philippines. Tournament in which 16 teams will compete, will take place from November 21 to December 7, with a format that will divide the teams into four groups. Then there will be quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.

Spain will be looking to secure a place in the final stage next March during the Elite Round, where it will start seeded alongside Portugal. Eight teams will compete for the four places that UEFA has in the final stage. The Philippines, as hosts, and New Zealand, the Oceania champions, are already guaranteed to attend.

Except, The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has announced its intention to bid to organize the next men’s World Cup. Although it seemed that in 2024 it would become the host of the tournament, FIFA, against all odds, provided this organization to Uzbekistan. In 2028, it may take place in Africa for the first time.
