Why it matters
Captures the emotional and historical significance of major upsets in international football tournaments.
Aditya Anchuri: “ I think the Guimaraes and Endrick misses basically sum up the sad state of Brazilian football right now – lots of great, elite talent, but just can’t make it happen when the pressure’s on. We saw it losing to pens last time in Qatar as well. Unlike Brazilian teams of the past they just seem to wilt under pressure and win the tough games.”
