Football is a strange and wonderful thing, and it is true what they say about it being 'crazy.' What happens in the World Cup? Is it a kind of fantasy?! Brazil, with its size, ability, and potential in football, this country that the world loves because it pulses and lives for this game, and has brought out geniuses of the green rectangle, falls like this!

The world followed the football match between Brazil and Norway, and everyone expected that the samba players would make their statement, and they would have no trouble winning against Haaland's teammates; the legendary star who managed to lead his national team to show the Brazilians that the way they play has become a thing of the past. For today, technical skills alone no longer bring victory; rather, physical strength, high fitness, fighting spirit, and seizing opportunities are what decide matches.

Neymar began to cry after the loss to 'the ruins,' crying over spilled milk, as if he were asking: why don’t the former stars of Brazil return? The farewell of legends always leaves a pang in the hearts of football fans, but when it comes to Brazilian football, the end does not merely mean the retirement of a player or the absence of a star; it means turning the page on a chapter of pure magic that entertained millions around the world. Brazilian football has never been just about tactical plans or running on the field; it has been an extension of the 'samba' dance; a blend of instinct, exceptional skill, and smiles that never leave faces even in the toughest encounters.

Every beginning has an end, and the sunset of the Brazilian legend brings to mind those historic moments when the world stood in respect for the stars who shaped the concept of 'beautiful football'; from the era of King Pelé, who shocked the world with his genius at the age of seventeen, through the dribbling phenomenon 'Garrincha,' to the golden generation that dazzled the universe: Romário, Rivaldo, and the phenomenon Ronaldo who redefined the striker position, and the magician Ronaldinho who made football resemble delightful circus performances. But the fields, as much as they grant glory, do not show mercy.

Oh Neymar, you are searching for a past that has ended and will not return; the current football is unforgiving and does not recognize history, it only recognizes those who fight on the field and shake the net.

The television director of the Brazil-Norway match conveyed the reality and state of the Brazilian fans; our eyes were opened to see both young and old crying over their team's loss, lamenting the condition of their national team which has declined to the point of appearing like a meek lamb before the legendary star 'Haaland' and his companions.

The stands were like a terrifying nightmare; the Brazilian fans did not want to leave the stadium, unable to believe the end of the match, as if they were waiting for extra time to save them. This nightmare was not just in the stands, but hung over all of Brazil, and struck samba fans around the world. Talent has become scarce, Brazil has disappeared, and its legend seems to have become part of a glorious past.

It was a very tough day for the Brazilians, and in contrast it was a wonderful and happy day for Norway; where the great star 'Haaland' etched his name in gold by scoring two goals, writing his name in indelible ink to become one of the legends of the game, and his laugh and overwhelming joy were the most prominent feature of the match.

When the Brazilian star retires, his indelible moments remain a reference for every child who plays with the ball in city streets or in the alleys of the favelas, aspiring to be the next legend. The journey ends on the green rectangle, and the journey of immortality begins in the memory of history as symbols of the renewed joy that the samba once gave us.
