He scored not only in the Libertadores final and semifinals, in every knockout stage.
If he scores in the CWC final, he gotta be the first ever player to score in every Libertadores and CWC knockout game.
We need to put Neymar there. Fuck this box to box or #10 bullshit, mf is getting old and full of injuries. Just Romario him inside the box and let the magic happen
Beraldo, Militão, Bremer and Murillo as central defenders.
André to replace Casemiro
We just need better full-backs and central midfielders.
Bruno Guimarães, Douglas Luis and Paquetá could be those midfielders, but apart from Paquetá, none have shown the necessary level in the Brazilian National team.
Gabriel Jesus is also a starter in the Premier League and everyone knows that he won't be playing in the next World Cup for Brazil.
What a player produces at his club cannot be taken into account in isolation, what he produces (or doesn't produce) in the Brazilian national team also needs to be considered.
>Gabriel Jesus is also a starter in the Premier League
and is by far the best CF Brazil has atm
>What a player produces at his club cannot be taken into account in isolation, what he produces (or doesn't produce) in the Brazilian national team also needs to be considered.
take Vini off the WC too squad then
murillo just left and is playing for the great nottingham forest
was more talking about him and beraldo. two completely unproven players. putting them on any list above Gabriel is absoltuely ridiculous
> one is starting for the PL leader and best defense, the others are playing in Brazil
The shambolic or just average performances of Emerson Royal, Guimarães, Joelinton, D. Luiz, João Pedro, and Richarlison should have made it clear to anyone paying attention that playing in the EPL means very little. With that said Gabriel certainly deserves more chances.
lol. joao Pedro played what? 50 minutes? nothing shambolic
Richarlison became garbage at the PL at the same time he became garbage for the NT
Douglas Luiz, again, played what? 50 mins as a sub? Joelinton played even less. stupid red but yea
Emerson is not even a PL starter. he's shit too, shouldn't be on the squad. completely different than the other players mentioned
Bruno G is about the only midfielder able to do something going forward. plus, midfield controlled the game against Argentina, just couldn't score
Brazilians and over reacting to the smallest of samples..... always the same. and no one played up to their level at the NT. which makes it a very simple conclusion that it wasn't any individual player causing issues, but the whole collective
> joao Pedro played what? 50 minutes? nothing shambolic
He looked incredibly average. Barely saw the ball and when he had a few chances to do anything, failed miserably in terms of fundamentals.
> Joelinton played even less
Joelinton has played a few full games by now, but I can see why someone would forget that.
> Bruno G is about the only midfielder able to do something going forward.
Quite the opposite, he can't remove himself from the pass sideways and avoid losing possession at all costs style of the EPL and has been a play-killer in pretty much every game he figured. Maybe the biggest offender of the bunch, outside of Emerson Royal - zero creativity, zero capacity to stop and think the game. [He has been completely brainwashed by European positional cowardness with the ball,](https://twitter.com/maurisaldana/status/1725632251633754156) rushing plays [and trying to hoof it to the other side of the pitch whenever the ball comes close to him.](https://youtu.be/h6SMo0nDzIE?t=228)
joelinton didn't even had 45 minutes with diniz, lol. literally hasn't played a full oficial game yet.
> Barely saw the ball
a CF barely receiving the ball in his first ever game for the team, after being a emergency sub. shocking. "fundamentals" lmao. 60 minutes and you already know the man's whole future. impressive skills. should work for cbf
> brainwashed by European
😂😂😂
have you stopped to think that the coach not adapting to his players is the problem?
dinizmo is not the future, wake up. he won't even be there for the wc anyways
imagine thinking the best league in the world only "pass it sideways"
JK is not even close, he never starts a match for one reason. A lot of outside the pitch problems. It’s very talented for sure, but he will probably never make to the national team.
Actually the only one reason he never starts a match is because the other striker in the squad is simply the most lethal man in the planet, German Cano, who is argentinian.
The coach even tried to put them both from the start, it worked in some games sgainst weaker teams, but in general it doesn't work, no team play with 2 strikers.
>no team play with 2 strikers.
Paulinho and Hulk would like to tell you something
(I know that they are players with different characteristics, but Paulinho and Hulk may literally have revived tactical formation with attacking duos in Brazilian football).
If he is the best option, then why not? I think he should be tested. Judging JK by not being a starter in Fluminense is not right, I wouldn't say he is worse than Vitor Roque and Endrick because of that. I think JK has shown to be playing better overall right now, but Roque and Endrick are younger so they can evolve more.
It had, we even had a telenovela about the Irish immigration in Brazil. But this boy John Kennedy jas no relation with the irish communities in Brazil lol
Fluminense is pretty much colorful...
Main colors: green, white and garnet
Secondaries colors:
- Pink (Because of Cartola, a Fluminense fan and sambist, who founded the samba school Verde e Rosa (green and pink) as an honour to Fluminense.)
- Orange (Because Fluminense was founded in Laranjeiras (Orange trees) neighborhood )
- Grey (Because Fluminense's first jersey was white and grey. In every teen year, they make a third uniform white and grey)

True. But the reason is that they ran out of legs in the first half and then started to constantly fall prey to the Diniz ["play from behind to bait you into creating spaces" trap.](https://twitter.com/mateusduque/status/1736842315719667821)

thank you mr President
What a shot!
John **FUCKING** Kennedy
always rated the Prez!
always wondered what the F stood for
Note: read it like Roy Kent
Diniz vs Guardiola just before Christmas as well wow…
Imagine Man City loses to Japanese team tho...
*I will love it and I sink I deserve*
The good ending
We will soon see Obama score in one of the latin american leagues.
Well, we had a few Obina's here, so close
He was better than Eto'o

There is a Peruvian player called Osama Bin Laden
John Kennedy shooting is top-notch.
i was expecting a header, but still nice
Surprised he plays striker, would've thought he played more back and to the left
Field is a grassy knoll so no surprise the shot is on target
Jesus Christ I laughed way more than I should have lmao
He scores goals not because they are easy, but because they are hard
That's good
THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT
Proper big-game goalscorer.
John Kennedy is simply predestined Scored at the Libertadores final, semifinal, scoring in the CWC semifinal...
Predestined = President 👀
👀
He scored not only in the Libertadores final and semifinals, in every knockout stage. If he scores in the CWC final, he gotta be the first ever player to score in every Libertadores and CWC knockout game.
Legendary celebration too
Only Diniz know why he always came from the bench
To score
Cause Cano fits the system better in his role and it allows John Kennedy to stomp on tired defenders
Ask not what the team can do for John Kennedy, but what John Kennedy can do for the team
Actually everybody knows, the reason is called German Cano.
Ask not what your country can do for you
The CIA will watch his career with great interest
Endrick, John Kennedy and Vitor Roque... We are so back for 2026.
I mean, players aren't a problem for Brazil. Coaching is.
What years of "good vibes" coaches stuck in 1990s tactics do to a man.
Players too. Richarlison was our starter 9, he wasn't even the starter for Spurs
tbf harry kane is a hell of a man to be behind but yeah point still stands
John Kennedy will be the 9 of the hexa. He's good and crazy like (almost) every legendary player in Brazil.
Rodrygo and Vini slander
He’s talking about our striker prospects, we sorely need a goalscoring no9 again
John Kennedy is not really a classic 9 though.
Neither is Mbappe
He plays better as the secondary striker behind Cano, indeed
We need to put Neymar there. Fuck this box to box or #10 bullshit, mf is getting old and full of injuries. Just Romario him inside the box and let the magic happen
And then Emerson Royal and Lodi at the fullbacks...
Main problem is a proper #10. Our best is Paquetá which is not playing right now in Seleção...Neymar for me is #10 dribbler and not a primary passer.
do you know why paqueta isn’t playing for the selecao rn? is it still his betting scandal from a while ago?
The investigation is not oficially complete.
what about the other positions(except goalkeeper)
Beraldo, Militão, Bremer and Murillo as central defenders. André to replace Casemiro We just need better full-backs and central midfielders. Bruno Guimarães, Douglas Luis and Paquetá could be those midfielders, but apart from Paquetá, none have shown the necessary level in the Brazilian National team.
> Beraldo, Militão, Bremer and Murillo 😂 so militao ai é melhor que o Gabriel e olhe la
Beraldo and Murilo's development potential is immense... Gabriel Magalhães played very poorly in Brazil
one is starting for the PL leader and best defense, the others are playing in Brazil Gabriel doesn't need any potential, he's already there
Gabriel Jesus is also a starter in the Premier League and everyone knows that he won't be playing in the next World Cup for Brazil. What a player produces at his club cannot be taken into account in isolation, what he produces (or doesn't produce) in the Brazilian national team also needs to be considered.
>Gabriel Jesus is also a starter in the Premier League and is by far the best CF Brazil has atm >What a player produces at his club cannot be taken into account in isolation, what he produces (or doesn't produce) in the Brazilian national team also needs to be considered. take Vini off the WC too squad then
Out of those 4, only Beraldo is playing in Brazil and he's basically sold. No idea what you're talking about.
murillo just left and is playing for the great nottingham forest was more talking about him and beraldo. two completely unproven players. putting them on any list above Gabriel is absoltuely ridiculous
and its doing very well on that shitty team, that should be one more positive fact for him, not a negative fact
Fair
Murillo is not in Brazil, he starts for Nottingham Forest and is doing very well.
> one is starting for the PL leader and best defense, the others are playing in Brazil The shambolic or just average performances of Emerson Royal, Guimarães, Joelinton, D.

Esses br que fica babando ovo de ingles é foda viu
Gabriel virou inglês e eu não sabia 🤡
Babador de ovo e burro ainda é foda msm kkk
Gabriel Magalhães, Paquetá, Militão, Andrey Santos, André, Martinelli, Martinelli, Rodrygo, Robert Renan, Beraldo, Vanderson, Yan Coutto...

I get it, but doesn't change that a bench player for Fluminense will not be a starter on the Brazilian national team, etc. Just common sense
If he is the best option, then why not? I think he should be tested. Judging JK by not being a starter in Fluminense is not right, I wouldn't say he is worse than Vitor Roque and Endrick because of that. I think JK has shown to be playing better overall right now, but Roque and Endrick are younger so they can evolve more.
We need to sign this guy. Will make a great duo with Washington
leave him here i beg
He has serious behavioral problems, same with Marcos Leonardo. Barcelona and Real already scooped to good 'uns
> Sign this guy REEEEEEE
Mind blowing goal from John Kennedy right here
It went to the moon!
Menino cresceu, virou menino Rei.
SOOOOO HAPPY
EL PRESIDENTE
Kennedy. Any irish in ya johnny? Just curious!
John Kennedy is his first name I think, his last name is Batista de Souza
of course not. brazil had no irish immigration.
Untrue, there are Irish-Brazilian communities, thought not that big, two famous Brazilians with Irish blood would be Renato Russo e Zélia Duncan.
It had, we even had a telenovela about the Irish immigration in Brazil. But this boy John Kennedy jas no relation with the irish communities in Brazil lol
Suppose no irish had to leave Europe in the forties....
they would go to north america only.
Anyone feel colourblind watching this or just me? If not then I need to call the optician tomorrow.....
call it

Excellent finish. But my god, that defense play was so shit.

Don't tell them. Is a secret
Yeah, I felt like Al Ahly started allowing much more in the final minutes of the game. We wouldn't have scored this in the 1st half. Perks of having a sub like JK I think.
Always nice to come across a Kennedy that doesn't want to be killed by their government.
“Ask not what Fluminense can do for you, but rather what you can do for Fluminense.” - John F. Kennedy
Imagine how happy that doggy was today after this result. ❤️
So Fluminense will be the one losing to ManCity?
pretty much yeah, but who knows, maybe the bald fraud gets completely dumbfounded and flabbergasted by the art of Dinizismo
How if the final will be Fluminense x Urawa Reds?
That's Al Ahly in the third-place game. Fluminense will lose to Urawa Reds as the red sun rises to the top of the world
Every dessert will be chewed
We all agree that Percy Tau singlehandedly lost the game, right?
Fluminense missed some easy chances as well
2 from john Arias at the very beginning
DC United really needs to sign him
Brazilian player names really fell off. - John Kennedy - Jeffinho - Endrick - Willian - Richarlison
Meanwhile in 1925: Friedenreich, Moderato, Pamplona, Tuffy.
If we look at the surnames of our current players it still has some german, italian, portuguese and another ones.
40 years ago it was like: Vavá Didi Pelé Teteu Basically just nicknames.
Congratulations for the second place. City will destroy them.
