Studio Oranje brands Ancelotti's Brazil as the weakest ever

At 20:30 today, the VoetbalPrimeur podcast Studio Oranje declared that Brazil, now coached by Carlo Ancelotti, is the weakest Seleção in its history ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The hosts argued the team lacks the Ballon d'Or winners that have traditionally defined Brazilian squads. Studio Oranje is the World Cup‑focused podcast produced by VoetbalPrimeur, delivering daily analysis of the tournament's developments. The episode aired at 20:30, aligning with the podcast's regular evening slot. "I find this Seleção the worst Seleção ever," the host said while discussing Brazil's performance. He added, "not the worst team, but really the Seleção."

Can Ancelotti become the first Italian to lift the World Cup with Brazil?

Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian manager, took charge of Brazil earlier this year. According to the podcast, Brazil's current squad lacks any Ballon d'Or winners, a stark contrast to previous generations that featured multiple winners. The show also examined the confidence of African nations, proposed a solution for Koeman, and highlighted a leading nation already in the semi‑finals. These segments underscored the breadth of analysis offered by Studio Oranje beyond the Brazilian focus.
