The rivalry between Argentina and Brazil has to be taken seriously. This rivalry has been there for ages now. Whenever these two sides meet in football, a horrific and tense game is promised. Before this game Raphinha made some toxic comments which went a little too far.
The words
Raphinha’s bold trash talk aged poorly, as Argentina humiliated Brazil with a score line of 4-1. “We are going to beat them up on and off the pitch if necessary. We will f_ck them. I am going to score.ā His words only added fuel to the Argentine’s performance, who responded with a masterclass in football.
Brazil’s loss to this game was a classic example of overconfidence which led to disaster. The Brazilians walked to the pitch with arrogance, underestimating what the Argentines have in their heart. For Brazil, instead of performing and showing what they got, they crumbled under pressure with an early goal.
This isn’t the first time Brazil’s cockiness cost them. They have this unnecessary attitude just because of the 5 world cups won by their legends. The current teams have no level to compete with many international teams.
Although I love Raphinha and will always back him, his words should be watched by him. He is a great player but his overconfidence and attitude won’t help his repute. We have seen this with Vini, we don’t want Raphinha to get that hate.
