Tulio Tanaka: “Is this the weakest Brazil national team I’ve ever seen?” LOL

🇯🇵We can win this, guys!😳😳👍

Despite being born in Brazil, Tulio Tanaka has long been critical of the current Seleção. He started off by saying, “Even before the World Cup started, things were a mess with the Brazil national team and their association. They kept changing managers constantly. In the end, they were so desperate they had to bring in Ancelotti.” He continued, “Brazil ended up in an easy group. The only real test will be the opening match against Morocco. Raphinha (FW) is injured and out for the tournament. Casemiro in midfield has no stamina or agility left. There are also problems with both full-backs.” He didn’t stop there, bluntly stating, “I think this is the weakest Brazil national team I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Well, he is a former Brazilian himself, so…

3Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:03:30.28 ID: ID:3sLxnlzo0

He’s cleverly avoiding making a firm commitment, isn’t he?

4Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:04:04.63 ID: ID:Ixz0PDuX0

2010 or 2014 were weaker, surely.
At least they have Vinícius now.

Nah, they’re super weak.
Their midfield is garbage, getting caught on the counter constantly.
Brazil really hasn’t adapted to modern football and relies way too much on individual talent.

20Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:27:34.35 ID: ID:Ixz0PDuX0

>>11
2010 was way worse.
Felipe Melo in midfield and Robinho as the ace who couldn’t even score 10 goals in a league season.

31Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:58:38.27 ID: ID:FYij58OO0

2014 was the Mineirazo, but they at least made it to the semis.

5Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:05:46.32 ID: ID:8CqaX4pb0

Well, it is true that this is the weakest Brazil ever.
It’s just that the gap in talent is still huge.
It’s a clash between the weakest Brazil and the strongest Japan.

6Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:06:52.12 ID: ID:Lh0xoqNY0

Tulio’s receding hairline looks pretty rough, though.

7Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:07:54.11 ID: ID:tRHeOx170

Probably the days when Fred and Jo were playing were weaker.

10Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:12:54.30 ID: ID:3BjUR3xo0

Compared to when they had superstars in every position, they’re weak… but their individual level is still several notches above Japan’s.
Also, having a veteran manager like Ancelotti in charge is creepy.

12Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:15:32.01 ID: ID:NFqsP7QuM

Their full-backs are undoubtedly the worst in their history.

13Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:16:10.50 ID: ID:ZW0vsv5L0

I knew Vinícius was good, but Cunha being in such great form is scary.

14Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:16:49.64 ID: ID:XPwSuB170

Just because they got weaker doesn’t mean we got stronger.
(Reference: Asian Cup)
…Or is that not how it works?

15Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:18:14.19 ID: ID:3FRJ8C9+a

There’s a saying: “Even if it rots, it’s still Brazil.”

16Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:20:29.43 ID: ID:r0w+e4W40

Even in South America, Brazil is treated like trash.
They’re getting roasted on social media every day by Uruguay and Colombia.

29Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:55:52.83 ID: ID:HAPGviab0

>>16
Do Uruguayans have time to look at SNS, though?

17Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:23:47.58 ID: ID:zit7FYU+0

It can’t be weaker than that team that got crushed by Germany, right?

33Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:00:03.27 ID: ID:FYij58OO0

>>17
Plus, that team had the handicap of Neymar missing out due to injury, which robbed them of their leader.

35Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:03:01.05 ID: ID:PudgLw0H0

>>33
Does that have anything to do with conceding 7 goals? lol

21Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:24:41.27 ID: ID:F7XEILJP0

This guy’s been all talk since his playing days.

19Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:27:08.68 ID: ID:7uxxcnLb0

Even if you could join this Brazil team in “SakaTsuku,” there’d be no sense of accomplishment.

21Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:28:54.78 ID: ID:gvI+DRMW0

Brazil actually has a lot of injuries too.
Raphinha, Rodrygo, etc.

22Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:33:07.97 ID: ID:zCtvEQPB0

It’s definitely the weakest Brazil we’ve ever seen.
It’s just that Japan isn’t at full strength either, so it’s hard to predict.

23Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:34:22.19 ID: ID:geMzQdRE0

Having Vinícius makes it better, though.
There was a time when that skinny Chelsea guy (I even forgot his name) was their ace.

24Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:40:58.52 ID: ID:2QJ01aOm0

Current trends favor Africa over South America.

25Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:43:21.36 ID: ID:wI3MJ1cr0

2006 had a monstrous squad.

27Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:52:39.32 ID: ID:zit7FYU+0

Honestly, the talent gap is such that we’d probably only win 2 out of 10 matches.

28Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:54:41.44 ID: ID:d2Iqtzxz0

Vinícius doesn’t defend, right?

30Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:58:26.41 ID: ID:IKqNgn4G0

Is this a jinx?

32Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 05:58:48.91 ID: ID:8qRFLwN60

Why do they always show that footage of Hidetoshi Nakata lying face-down on the pitch after we got crushed by Brazil? Just leave already.

34Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:01:09.09 ID: ID:FYij58OO0

>>32
It’s seen as the symbol of the 2006 collapse from a modern perspective.

36Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:04:56.89 ID: ID:7VD7J0Szd

People are saying they’re the weakest.

37Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:05:41.76 ID: ID:cZ+NT1eW0

In their prime, the top scorers in all major leagues were Brazilians.
The current Brazil isn’t even a favorite to win.

38Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:11:07.26 ID: ID:09nrGdN30

Weakest Brazil vs Strongest Japan.
If Brazil loses, they’ll get roasted just as hard as when they lost to Germany.

39Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:13:31.99 ID: ID:EyVK005J0

Argentina is stronger.
But a Brazil team on a roll is unstoppable.

40Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:15:08.01 ID: ID:0fhBSVPc0

In terms of FIFA rankings, around 2013 was the weakest.
They’re actually higher up in recent years.

41Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:20:37.09 ID: ID:G2mz04OS0

If they get slaughtered, I bet they’ll act like they never said that.

42Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:22:09.78 ID: ID:1+769B5R0

Is Brazil really that weak?
Are they even worse than Tunisia?

49Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:28:31.32 ID: ID:Jp6YweAm0

>>42
No way.
It’s just that there might be a slim chance, but essentially it’s an uphill battle for Japan.

43Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:22:19.38 ID: ID:qKcX0k+i0

If we (Japan) lose, I’m going to use this quote to roast us.

44Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:24:24.43 ID: ID:33A9mHNM0

It’ll be tough to win even against the weakest Brazil. Good luck, Japan.

45Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:25:17.11 ID: ID:11Xd73iC0

I feel like they were weaker when Luis Fabiano was the ace.

46Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:25:26.58 ID: ID:gFWfkdm1d

This might be a fact.
Doesn’t mean we’ll win, though.

48Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:27:10.78 ID: ID:73aL91Ab0

They haven’t had a solid CF for years.
They have good players, but that one spot remains a hole.

47Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/28(日) 06:27:03.14 ID: ID:DLT5QIzy0

But we still can’t win, though.
