@tosinmm_ People just want to spread their views - first it was because they’re all on the right and now its because of their religion. Football has changed and Brasil has tried to become European. That’s it. It’s like a fish trying to climb a tree.

It’s always “politics” or “religion” - have you considered that your bias has led you to make such conclusions.

The discourse connecting Brazilian soccer to Protestantism points to a deeper cultural claim: that Brazil’s football decline is not merely tactical, generational, or administrative, but spiritual and civilizational. The argument is that the old Brazilian style — playful, communal, improvised, joyful, almost liturgical in its beauty — emerged from a Catholic cultural world where celebration, embodiment, festivity, and collective identity were natural. Football was art, dance, procession, neighborhood, and gift. The critique of Evangelical or Neopentecostal influence is not simply “religion made them worse.” It is that a different religious imagination produces a different kind of athlete: more individualistic, more testimonial, more focused on personal salvation, discipline, destiny, and moral performance. In that framework, football can become less carnaval and more career; less shared national myth and more platform for the individual believer. Brazil’s decline obviously has many causes: tactics, European club football, federation dysfunction, money, coaching, player development, and global competition. But the religious argument touches something statistics miss: the loss of a national soul, or at least the feeling that Brazil no longer plays with the same sacred joy.

@flechar0ta @WorkTheSpace I’m from South America and Paraguay are a disgrace because of yesterday. That doesn’t represent our continent. It is one thing to be aggressive, but what they did, they wanted to hurt France. That’s not football.
