Drawing with Morocco is legit; what shocked me was the amount of amateur mistakes we made. I honestly hope Ancelotti have enough time to turn things around, but I'm not very convinced that we'll be able to go past the quarterfinals (again).

Sorry for the long post.

I don't have much faith on Ancelotti so far, he is only going by name until now, no gameplan, no strategy, refuses to give Endrick a change for no reason, the whole team building doesn't feel like was made by him to begin with, no conviction whatsoever, flipfloping on his words to guarantee a spot to an old slow injuried Neymar (uncontested talent, no fit whatsover to be there tho).

So far he did nothing at all, endend up trying to mimicry Tite 2022 team, while many players like Casemiro and Paqueta never showed anything to deserve to be there since he himself is the coach. We played a world cup match against the Fifa 7th rank with no midfield whatsoever for a whole half until he started actually trying to improve the team.

We only hope he does better because of his vast club career pedigree, because so far in the Seleção he showed absolutely nothing.

I do think we still have individual potential, like Vini showed and Raphinha still refuses to, to win matches because of good moments, tho.

Such a shame Estevão got injuried, he and Endrick have a lot of potential to decide games as well.

I agree with everything you said. Let's hope he does better and get this team to be more competitive as the Cup unravels. 

Tomorrow is France's and Argentina's time and I have a feeling at least one of them will have a tough time.
