We watched Nigeria battle Brazil yesterday, and contrary to many predictions, the match was a draw ending 1-1. Many people (including me😂) expected Nigeria to lose at least 3-1 but the Super Eagles held on for a famous draw.

...........

But this brings to mind another question. Are Brazil slowly losing their Spark? Irrespective of the fact that it was a friendly, in both their matches against Senegal and Nigeria, they fielded a very string team that boasted of the likes of Neymar, Coutinho, Firminho, Gabriel Jesus, Casemiro, Richarlison and so many other big names and yet they couldn't win these "small teams".

..........

Honestly I expected them to give Nigeria and ass whooping but they played out a draw with all these stars and internationally recognised big boys. This was the same Brazil team that went so far in the World Cup and were knocked out by a very strong Belgium side, also the same Brazil side that just recently won the Copa America.

..........

Personally I just think the players have been a bit lackadaisical with the friendlies.

But do you think anything is wrong with the side, or they are losing their touch and spark? Let me know.
