Brazil's shocking exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues to spark strong reactions, with one of the harshest coming from legendary striker Romário. Following Brazil's 2-1 defeat to Norway in the Round of 16, the 1994 World Cup champion did not hold back in his assessment of the team's performance.

Asked about Brazil's display, Romário delivered a blunt verdict: "Bad." His brief response reflected the frustration felt by millions of Brazilian fans after seeing one of the tournament favorites eliminated earlier than expected.

When questioned about who was responsible for the defeat, Romário pointed the finger at everyone involved. "Everyone, of course. The players who were on the field and the coach as well," he said, making it clear that he believes both the squad and the coaching staff share the blame.

The Brazilian icon also admitted he was deeply disappointed with what he witnessed. "Yes, as a Brazilian, I'm very disappointed. What happened was unbelievable. The team I saw today is not the Brazil we all know or the one we want," he said in comments captured by El Chiringuito.

Brazil's elimination came after a brilliant performance from Norway, powered by Erling Haaland's two goals. The result stands as one of the biggest upsets of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and has intensified the debate over Brazil's future, the team's performances, and Carlo Ancelotti's leadership moving forward.
