Brazil’s opponent in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup has been defined! After the draw between Sweden and Japan, the Blue Samurais will be the opponents of Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazilian team at the start of the knockout stages. We analyze the history of the clash, the specter of the defeat suffered by Brazil in October last year and Japan’s impressive list of absences (Mitoma, Endo, Minamino and possibly Kubo). We also show how the fit with Bruno Guimarães, Vini Jr, Paquetá and Matheus Cunha puts Brazil on track towards the Hexa. The game is Monday at 2pm!
