The main favorites of the qualifying tournament from South America were unable to defeat their opponents.
It’s hard to believe, but the Brazilian national team is in danger of not going to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The five-time trophy winner may not qualify for the next World Cup.
The Brazilians suffered another shocking defeat in the qualifying round, this time losing to Paraguay 0:1. The team failed to score despite Real’s star trio of strikers in the lineup. Vinicius, Endric and Rodrigo played in the match.
It was Brazil’s fourth loss in eight qualifying matches and they are now just one point behind Paraguay in the race for a spot at the 2026 World Cup.

Argentina also lost the next day’s qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup. The current trophy holder was unable to withstand Colombia’s pressure on the road, losing 1:2.
However, for the Argentines it was only the second failure in qualifying with six victories, so they continue to confidently lead the group. Colombians are second – 16 points.
