<h2>Brazil, who have been a staple at the Olympics since 2004, faced an unexpected setback, missing out on a direct qualification to the Paris 2024 Games.</h2>

In a pivotal match of the South American qualifying tournament, Argentina clinched their place at this year's Olympic Games by defeating the defending champions, Brazil, with a score of 1-0 on Sunday. The match, which held high stakes for both teams, saw Luciano Gondou scoring the decisive goal in the 77th minute, propelling the Argentina Under-23 team to victory.
The outcome was a significant blow to Brazil, a team that has consistently adorned the Olympic podium, securing medals in the last four iterations of the Games. The Brazilian squad, which has been a staple at the Olympics since 2004, faced an unexpected setback, missing out on a direct qualification to the Paris 2024 Games.
Under the guidance of Javier Mascherano, the Argentine squad entered the match against their archrivals with determination, following mixed results in the round-robin qualifying stage, including draws with Venezuela and Paraguay. The win was crucial for Argentina, ensuring their advancement to Paris as one of the top two teams from the South American qualifiers.
Brazil's illustrious history in men's football at the Olympics includes medals from the previous four Games. However, this time, they concluded the qualifying event with three points, trailing behind Argentina and Paraguay. Argentina, on the other hand, secured their spot with a total of five points, edging out Paraguay, who still had a game against Venezuela pending.
Gondou's late goal not only marked a victory over Brazil but also reiterated Argentina's prowess in Olympic football, having previously won gold in the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Games. The 2008 victory was particularly memorable, with Lionel Messi leading the Argentine team to glory.

Brazil's Rodrygo reveals he received racial abuses following argument with Argentina's Lionel Messi

A heated clash between archrivals Argentina and Brazil also saw an argument between Lionel Messi and Rodrygo.&nbsp;

The drama-filled World Cup qualifier clash between Brazil and Argentina took an ugly turn on November 23.&nbsp; Brazil's forward Rodrygo had a heated exchange with Argentina captain Lionel Messi during the game which he claims resulted in racial abuse online.&nbsp; Taking to Instagram, Rodrygo wrote, 'Racists are always on duty. My social networks were invaded with insults and all sorts of nonsense.'&nbsp; 'If we don't do what they want, if we don't behave as they think we should, if we wear something that annoys them, if we don't lower our heads when they attack us, if we occupy spaces they think are theirs alone, the racists will act out their criminal behaviour. Bad luck for them, we won't stop.' he concluded. The striker received support from several footballers including teammate Vinicius Jr., who had to miss the game due to an injury.&nbsp; The five-time champions were handed a 0-1 loss by Argentina in a match marred by clashes between fans and the local authorities.&nbsp;

Brazilian football rocked by match-fixing scandal, investigation launched

In a crackdown on corruption in football, Brazilian authorities have launched an investigation into the match-fixing scandal that has rocked the South American nation.

#Matchfixing #Brazil

Brazil's Justice Minister Flavio Dino has confirmed that the country will launch a national investigation into the match-fixing scandal in country's football leagues.

Brazil will launch a national investigation into football match-fixing and the probe could have &ldquo;international repercussions,&rdquo; Justice Minister Flavio Dino said Wednesday.
The South American country's soccer confederation said it had requested the government open the new probe.
Dino's announcement followed the decisions by several top-flight Brazilian clubs to suspend a handful of players as part of a state investigation.
Brazil&rsquo;s federal police will open a probe &ldquo;due to the evidence of match-fixing in sports events, with inter-state and international repercussions," Dino said in a statement on Twitter.
Earlier, Athletico said on its social media channels that 20-year-old left-back Pedrinho and 22-year-old midfielder Bryan Garcia had been suspended &ldquo;preemptively" until the end of the investigation by prosecutors in the state of Goias.
Cruzeiro, Fluminense and America made the same decisions about 29-year-old midfielder Richard, 23-year-old defender Vitor Mendes, and 37-year-old right-back Nino Paraiba, respectively.
Brazilian media raised concerns about the performances of all five players in matches from the 2022 season, and added they could be targets of the &ldquo;Maximum Penalty&rdquo; probe that began in February.
State prosecutors reported in a statement that 16 people will stand trial in the case, including seven other players.
One of the players on that list, Santos defender Eduardo Bauermann, was suspended by his club on Tuesday.
TV Globo published several conversations during which the player allegedly admits involvement in the scheme.
The state probe initially targeted matches from last season in Brazil's top flight but has expanded into second-division matches.
Prosecutors said some of the athletes were paid between 50,000 and 100,000 Brazilian reals ($10,000 to $20,000) to get booked or give penalties to their rivals.

Pele: Football Icon, Brazilian Hero & Sporting Legend

Nicknamed 'The King', Pele was named FIFA's Player of the Century in 2000.

1281 goals
3 FIFA World Cups
2 Copa Libertadores
6 Brazilian league titles
FIFA&rsquo;s Player of the Century
Brazilian legend Pele will go down in history as the greatest of all time.
Nicknamed &lsquo;The King&rsquo;, he is the only player in history to win the biggest trophy of them all, the FIFA World Cup, thrice.
He was just 17 when he won his first World Cup and the boy genius went on to win two more. He probably could have won more but he decided to retire from the national team at just 30 years of age.
Pele was the one who made the words&nbsp; &lsquo;the beautiful game&rsquo; synonymous with football and now that he is no more with us, &lsquo;the beautiful game&rsquo; is a little less beautiful for now.

39-year-old veteran Alves, who has not played a match in two months, has been preferred over Liverpool's forward Roberto Firmino in Brazil's World Cup squad.
Alves is now the oldest-ever player to be named in the Brazilian World Cup squad and Qatar 2022 will be his third appearance in the marquee competition.

Meanwhile, Firmino who returned to form for Liverpool this season failed to make the cut for World Cup, losing out to forwards like Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus, Tottenham's Richarlison, PSG's Neymar, Vinicius Jr. of Real Madrid among others.
Brazil will play in Group G at the World Cup with Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon. Serbia and Switzerland were also in Brazil's group four years ago in Russia, when the Brazilians lost to Belgium in the quarterfinals.
Brazil squad for FIFA World Cup 2022:
Goalkeepers: Alisson (Liverpool), Ederson (Manchester City), Weverton (Palmeiras) Defenders: Dani Alves (no club), Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain), Thiago Silva (Chelsea), Eder Milit&atilde;o (Real Madrid), Danilo (Juventus), Alex Sandro (Juventus), Alex Telles (Sevilla), Bremer (Juventus).
Midfielders: Casemiro (Manchester United), Fred (Manchester United), Fabinho (Liverpool), Bruno Guimar&atilde;es (Newcastle), Lucas Paquet&aacute; (West Ham), Everton Ribeiro (Flamengo).
Forwards: Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain), Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid), Richarlison (Tottenham), Raphinha (Barcelona), Antony (Manchester United), Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Pedro (Flamengo), Rodrygo (Real Madrid).

Tottenham forward Richarlison had a banana hurled at him as he was racially abused while celebrating his team's second goal in a 5-1 win at Parc des Princes on Tuesday. The Brazilian players celebrating near the corner flag also had another object, that appeared to be a water bottle thrown at them.
Manchester United midfielder Fred was seen kicking away the banana as he stood up for his teammates.
Prior to the game, Selecao used the match as a platform to speak up against racism, with the players posing before kickoff with a sign that said: “Without our black players, we wouldn’t have stars on our shirt” — a reference to the five stars above the team crest that represents its five World Cup titles.
The Brazilian Football Federation condemned the actions of the unidentified fan and reinforced its stance to "fight against racism.". Earlier in the month, winger Vinicius Junior who plays for Real Madrid was also subjected to racism by rival fans ahead of his team's derby clash against Atletico Madrid on September 18
