Brazilian leader Luis Inacio Lula da Silva has criticized the national team players for not returning home after being eliminated from the 2026 World Cup.
Sport.Biz reports that Brazil was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup after losing to Norway 2-1 in the 1/8 finals. This is the team's worst result in the 21st century.
"The delegation left with many people, but returned with one. There was almost no one on the team's plane. People, what a shame. There was only one player on the plane (Danilo from "Flamengo" - Ed.). If we had won, everyone would be dancing here", - da Silva said.
