Brazilians Are Losing Their Minds Over Rumors Of Guardiola As O Seleção's New Head Coach
Brazilian fans are pretty confident about winning the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The team practically walked the CONMEBOL qualifiers without losing a single game, and supporters feel the squad is strong enough to grab its sixth trophy in the history of the competition.

Correa followed it up by kicking the ball at Grealish, hitting the player in the chin.
