Brazil humiliated 4-1 by Argentina in World Cup qualifiers

Brazil faced a humiliating 4-1 defeat against Argentina in World Cup qualifiers, marking one of their worst performances in history. The match began disastrously for Brazil, with Argentina scoring twice within the first 12 minutes, despite Matheus Cunha's momentary equalizer. Brazilian captain Marquinhos called the display 'embarrassing' and apologized to fans, emphasizing the need for introspection after the loss. Raphinha's pre-match bravado, promising to 'beat them up,' backfired spectacularly, with Argentine players using his words as motivation. The defeat has raised serious questions about the team's leadership, with increasing calls for head coach Dorival Junior's dismissal. Argentina, now confirmed for the World Cup, celebrated their historic victory amid cheers from their home crowd.
