It's not a L if I put 4-0 and Brazil won by 3-0 lmao

It's more like Brazil took their feets off from the gas which is making you feel Haiti played good but they didn't.
Haiti got more ball control and finalizations in second time.

Harashima is right, they changed their tactics. But trollings aside, not saying they played good lol
They still suck, but menaged to avoid some goals

Yeah but their tactics worked because Brazil started playing safe.

3-0 lead is comfortable and safe and Brazil already have Neymar injured so I get it that they wanted to avoid any more injuries when they already were winning comfortably

Indeed, Brazil got less ball control and lost some oportunities but i respect the weak team who change their tactics and manages to grow, ot could be far far worse considering the first time, bit anyway i don't think Haiti was worried to score against but hold them and they kinda menaged to avoid a far worse result.

And yes, 3x0 is a decent result, everybody was expecting a winning by a large margin like 5x0 or even 6x0, but at least they got their first win and earned some points.
 
For two reasons, I said that.

First, I do understand the need to protect players from injuries but one gotta be ruthless. Football is a psychological game as much as it's physical. Playing against weaker teams help players get their momentum, flow, form, confidence and rhythm back. It's like giving a statement to the World that we are here to dominate.


Second, and most important reason, their safe play in second half costed me 4 points as I put Brazil 4 - 0 :josad:
Well, that's why I'm not a betting a man, hahaha.

That aside, Carletto's teams never really seeked to dominate, IIRC. He has always built his teams to win and not to dominate. In his five UCL wins with AC Milan and Real Madrid, I genuinely cannot recall any instance where you could say his teams dominated the tournament aside from when Milan stomped Manchester United 3-0 back in 2007. And Real Madrid in the 2013-2014 tournament, but that's obviously the exception and not the rule.

And not aiming to dominate is okay. I mean, Brazil had dozens of shots on target against Croatia back in 2022 and they dominated the game, while Croatia literally only has one shot on target. Look how that turned out.
