“I completely disagree. Swearing and cheering is fine. Throwing a bag of popcorn doesn’t do anyone any good,” said Diniz as reported by ESPN.
“It’s disrespectful to those who come to play and try to do the best they can.”
With this draw, Brazil is now in second place in the 2026 World Cup Qualification standings in the CONMEBOL zone. Selecao collected seven points from three matches, two points behind Argentina.
