On September 11, Beijing time, the South American World Preliminary Round was fought again, and the result was that many strong teams overturned, including Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, all of which were winless, which is really embarrassing.
Brazil suffered a 0-1 upset away
Prior to that, Brazil had not lost to Paraguay away for 16 consecutive years. However, football is round, and Brazil are not as good as they used to be, and in the end they lost 0-1 to their opponents and suffered a humiliating defeat.
In this game, Real Madrid's three frontcourt talents all started, but unfortunately neither Rodrygo nor Endrick could carry the team. Brazil's poor offensive performance has put Paraguay under pressure at the back, and they have enough energy to counter-attack. After squandering a couple of chances, Gomez's brilliant long-range shot hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net to give Paraguay a 1-0 lead.
After conceding the goal, Brazil fought back frantically, but unfortunately they did not hit the target with a single shot in the first 70 minutes. After that, Brazil's attack improved slightly, but they could not equalize and could only lose away from home. Following the draw away to Uruguay in the last round, Paraguay beat Brazil in this game, and it looks like the South American powerhouse is starting to pick up form.
Uruguay + Argentina are winless
On this night, Uruguay and Argentina were also defeated. Because Nunez and many other main players were suspended, coupled with Suarez's withdrawal, Uruguay could only rely on players like Pellistri in the front, and the attack was also greatly affected, and finally drew 0-0 away to Venezuela.
As for Argentina, they lost 2-1 away to Colombia in the absence of Messi. Facing the opponent ranked 9th in the world, the Argentina team was unable to parry, in which J Ronaldo passed and shot, and decided the fate of the 2 teams by himself. In this crucial battle, Lautaro is invisible again, and in the post-Messi era, if it is up to him to carry the banner, then the Argentina team hangs.
So far, the South American World Preliminary Tournament has played 8 rounds, and Argentina ranks first with 18 points, even if the strength is declining now, but I believe that Argentina will not have difficulty qualifying. As for Uruguay and Brazil, there is no big problem in qualifying for the World Cup. In this World Preliminary Tournament, South America has 6.5 places, and under normal circumstances, strong teams should be able to qualify.
However, the two strong teams of Chile and Peru, now at the bottom of the table, the situation is not good. In this round, Chile lost 1-2 at home to Bolivia, while Peru lost 0-1 away to Ecuador. After the retirement of a number of superstars, the current Chile team has been reduced to a second-rate team in South America, and Peru, which qualified for the play-offs of the last World Cup (eliminated by Australia), is directly at the bottom of this tournament, and has not won 8 games so far. Such a result is indeed unexpected, and unless a miracle happens, the two teams of Chile and Peru will miss the World Cup in 2 years at any time, because their form is too poor!
