"Robert Carlos tied his shoelaces to shattered Brazil's dreams! One of the most expensive mistakes in World Cup history"
In the quarterfinals of the 2006 World Cup, Brazil and France faced each other fiercely, and the morale of the Brazilian team was high, with legendary stars such as Ronaldinho, Kaka and Ronaldo, and was regarded as the favorite to win the title.
However, in the 57th minute of this match, the fatal negligence of Robert Carlos appeared at a crucial moment. France won a free-kick opportunity and the penalty was taken by the talented star Zidane. At this point, Carlos actually tied his shoelaces during the game instead of keeping an eye on France's best striker, Thierry Henry.
Zidane passed the ball with precision and all the French players were targeted by the Brazilian defender, except for Henry. He relentlessly seized the opportunity and slammed the ball into Brazil's goal.
And just like that, just because of a seemingly minor oversight, Carlos dealt a fatal blow to the Brazilian dream. Brazil's 1-0 defeat to France left 100 million Brazilian fans heartbroken.
This mistake is undoubtedly costly for Brazil. Carlos was widely blamed for this and announced his retirement from the international football scene.
An expensive mistake in the history of the World Cup shattered Brazil's dreams and the hearts of fans.
