The friendly between Brazil and the United States, held last night, ended with an unprecedented and worrying draw for the Brazilian team. For the first time in the history of the confrontation, the two countries were unable to come from scratch. The game, which should have been an opportunity for the Brazilian team to show evolution and integration, ended up highlighting collective problems and, unfortunately, highlighted striker Vinícius Júnior negatively.
From the opening whistle, Brazilseemed out of tune. The lack of creativity in midfield and defensive failures made it clear that the team still needs adjustments. However, instead of a broader analysis of the collective performance, the criticism focused disproportionately on Vinícius Júnior.
VINICIUS JUNIOR IS CHARGED
The first half was marked by a truncated game without great emotions. Both teams had difficulty creating clear scoring opportunities. The Brazilian team, known for its offensive and creative football, performed below expectations. The players seemed disconnected, and the lack of chemistry was visible.
Vinícius Júnior,who has been one of the great promises of Brazilian football, had difficulty standing out. Without consistent support from midfield, the young striker was isolated up front and had little chance to showcase his talent. Even so, it was the target of much criticism.Rubro-negro started the season on the right foot in women's volleyball

The first women's volleyball competition is Mengão's! This Friday (27), Flamengo won the National Cup of Pro-Vôlei Clubs. Against the current Superliga champion, Bernardinho's team played 3 sets to 0 at Minas, with scores of 25-15, 25-18 and 25-17. The duel took place at Ginásio Wilson Mânica, in Ijuí, Rio Grande do Sul.
The tournament featured three clubs and serves as preparation for the 2024/25 Superliga. On Wednesday (25), Flamengo beat Maringá. On Thursday (26), Minas also beat the team from Paraná. Therefore, this Friday (27th) the big decision took place, which had a packed gym.
Despite being a competition to open the season, Flamengo's victory gives a boost to the season. After all, Minas is the team to beat in Brazilian women's volleyball. Thus, in the last five Superligas, the Belo Horizonte team won four titles and one runner-up. In the squad, there are athletes who have played for the Brazilian team, such as Thaísa, Olympic champion and bronze medalist in this year's edition, in Paris.
SuperligaThe dates of the Women's Super League have not yet been announced. However, there is an expectation that the competition will start in October. In total, 12 teams will play the tournament, in a round-robin system, with the eight best qualifying for the quarter-finals.
In the last edition, after all, Flamengo was eliminated by Praia Clube in the semi-final . Therefore, the goal for 2024/25 is to reach the decision and repeat the title won in 2000/01, when Rubro-Negro beat Vasco, in a historic decision at the Ginásio do Maracanãzinho.

The Super World Cup will be held between June 15 and July 13, 2025 The competition already has 30 qualified teams, with three Brazilians among them: Palmeiras, Flamengo and Fluminense. Brazil may have one more representative. This is because Atlético-MG and Botafogo are fighting for the last South American place in the competition — the Libertadores title gives them the place. Peñarol [if they win the Libertadores] and Olímpia [if River wins the Libertadores] are the other teams in the running.
The places are divided into: 12 for Europe, six for South America, four for Asia, Africa and North, Central America and the Caribbean, one for Oceania and one for the host country.
In addition to the remaining MLS spot, which has not yet defined its representative, the other available entry belongs to South America. It is destined for the champion of the edition of 2024 of the Libertadores. If River Plate wins the title, it will be transferred to the Conmebol ranking in FIFA and would already have an owner: Olímpia-PAR.
