How will Brazil regroup?
The exit of Brazil from the title race in the tournament has raised some big questions that the country would need to introspect. Brazil lost 4-2 to Uragyay in the quarter-finals on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
Brazil is a team studded with giant football stars. Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Eder Militaro, Endrick, Raphinha, Alisson, Lucas Paqueta, Gabriel Martinelli are some of the big names presently in the football world. However, they could not hold together as a team as demonstrated by their 0-0 draw with Costa Rica and a 1-1 draw with Colombia in the tournament.
Brazil, which has won nine Copa America titles in the past, will need to regroup and do a course correction before withering further.
