The coach of the Brazilian men’s team, Tite, lamented on “Redação SporTV” that it was impossible to play a friendly match with the England national team. The Brazilian Football Confederation obtained information in the last days of the withdrawal of the England captains to face the selection in June.. This is because there was no flexibility at the League of Nations table.
The English calendar is already full in the history of FIFA which is 15 days of June. They play the following matches for Group 3 of the League of Nations:
- 4/6 – Hungary
- 7/6 – Germany
- 6/11 – Italy
- 6/14 – Hungary
In the 2022 World Cup, the Seleção faced only one European. They won 3-1 over the Czech Republic, two goals by Roberto Firmino and two goals by Gabriel Jesus. That was in March 2019

The Brazilian team’s expectations were a gap in the calendar at the start of the FIFA date, close to submission at the beginning of the month. But England’s withdrawal came to the first-team division, which failed to change the League of Nations schedule and They considered it pointless to hold five matches in 15 days. The original idea was to hold the friendly match on European soil, on a common agenda with a duel between Argentina and Italy, a duel between champions from South America and Europe.

There will be three matches in FIFA history in June, then two more in Septemberin the final preparations before the Qatar Cup, in November.
Tite even mentioned in “Redação SporTV” the possibility of a confrontation between Mexico and the United States, but the Brazilian Federation is also looking at Asian and African opponents – in 2019, Brazil faced South Korea (won 3-0) and drew with the Africans against Senegal and Nigeria.
