After the elimination of Uruguay, they start to remember their first world cup title of 1930, here a picture of one of their goals in the final against Argentina.

Maybe other explanation is:

 

We are here all the time, nobody talks about footballl, race walking has more followers and we're happy. And then, BAM, FIFA World Cup comes in.

 

I know, no funny at all.

Because luckily we're a community that appreciates other sports more than the usually overrated regular national leagues with the same kind of matches week in week out

Yep, that is why I like this community so much.

In other news, it appears that Pele's condition has worsened.  It will be sad any time, but if he passes away during the World Cup it will be extremely sad.

In semi-related news: Pelé is no longer responding to his chemotherapy, and is now getting palliative care, according to one of the bigger newspapers in Brazil. Sounds like he might not see the end of this World Cup..

Also no Alex Telles anymore, for what it's worth.

[LuizGuilherme 267]

5 injured players and counting

 

Neymar

Danilo

Alex Sandro

Alex Telles

Gabriel Jesus

 

Danilo and Alex Sandro probably gonna play against South Korea, nobody knows about Neymar but seems to be avaliable on the QF.

 

Alex Telles and Jesus are out for the rest of the WC.
