Before Brazil’s World Cup qualifier versus Venezuela, reports surfaced that Neymar, Vinicius Jr., and Richarlison had been seen partying with popular Instagram models.

Even more disheartening for Brazilians was Brazil’s 1-1 tie with Venezuela in the third round of 2026 World Cup qualifying matches, which saw them fall behind Argentina in the standings.

Also of note is the fact that Gabriel Magalhaes, a defender for the Samba, scored the game-winning goal. Unfortunately for Brazil, Venezuela tied the game in the nick of time due to a stunning bicycle kick from Eduard Bello.

Journalist Matheus Baldi’s claims that video exists of one of the beauties leaving the team hotel on Friday early have stoked the flames of resentment.

A common stereotype about South American superstars is that their lack of discipline hurts the squad as a whole. Brazil, presently two points behind leader Argentina, will play their next game on Wednesday, Vietnam time, against Uruguay.

Experts believe Uruguay to be a far more tough opponent than Venezuela, so if Samba’s stars aren’t 100 percent focused on the game, they might pay a huge price.
