Gerson in for Bruno, Venezuela equalize lol. Didn’t watch the match so maybe Bruno was shit and Gerson great but scorewise it’s funny imo (because Marseille supporters believe(d) that Gerson is better than Paqueta)

Historic result for Venezuela drawing away to Brazil in Qualifying. They might actually qualify

Brazil has a midfield problem

I remember Bello from the days of degenerate gambling on Chilean league

So, Brazil had the ball after Romo kicked it out for a throw in but Brazil didn’t get the ball back.

Venezuela se merece bellos milagros, se viene el primer mundial.

Folks are gonna blame solely Diniz because his experimenting is obviously what catches the most attention (specially with how amped up some folk in the media are with Diniz in an age where a adversarial relation with the media is widespread), but, holy fuck, how bad were the individual performances.

For people saying we should pass on Ancelotti to keep Diniz, this is the only thing I have to say:

🤨

Critics will say it’s an exaggeration. That I’m taken by hyperbole. That I went crazy.

Well, I insist: Dinizism opens the doors of perception.

Dinizism is a way of feeling the game more than playing or analyzing the game.

Dinizismo doesn’t talk about numbers, accurate passes, assists or even the perception of possession of the ball.

Forget objectivities.

Close your eyes and feel.

It’s the masses in a trance in the stands.

Did you hear?

It’s that scene from Star Wars where Luke Skywalker is told to turn off the machines and follow his intuition.

It’s the sacred dialogue between team and fans.

It’s movement, displacement, creativity.

It’s the insistence on the goal despite the score.

It’s pure meditation: living in the present, in this moment, in the multiple layers of now.

It’s anti-ChatGPT, anti-algorithm, anti-system.

It’s a touch of the ball.

It’s Brazil - the Brazil of cracks, of samba, of capoeira, of rezadeiras, of terreiros.

You can try to explain as much as you want.

Try putting it into data, spreadsheets.

Talk about performance, processes, management. Stop trying to put it in a box and label it.

Anyone who understands Dinizismo does not know how to explain it.

Whoever knows how to explain it doesn’t understand.

Wabi Sabi.

We don’t watch football; football we feel (cheers to Sergio Vaz).

It was a pathetic draw against a Venezuela that should have been easily defeated, those fixated on objectivity will say.

Forget the score: it was much more than that.

It was pure love.

It’s time to end Dinizism

Please never call Neymar again, he didn’t get a single thing right in the entire game.

Props to Venezuela tho, Soteldo specially was really fun to watch, but he should have stood on top of the ball

This is Diniz’s football! Nothing to see here. Fuck that guy!
