Following their convincing victory over Paraguay, the Brazilian team held an open training session on June 30, as they prepared for their crucial final group match against Colombia. Journalists from the Brazilian newspaper, Globo, visited the squad’s training base in Palo Alto to observe the team’s preparations.
In the June 30 public practice, Coach Dourival allowed family members, media, and fans to attend and film. The training focused on recovery exercises to alleviate fatigue after two group matches. Dourival has indicated that he plans to maintain the same starting lineup used in the victory against Paraguay, as seen when training vests were distributed to the previous game’s starters, suggesting no last-minute changes.
Four Brazilian players— Militão, Wendel, Vinícius, and Paquetá—already have one yellow card each. Another booking against Colombia would result in a one-match suspension. However, with Dourival needing a win to secure first place in the group and avoid potential complications, it seems unlikely that rotations will be made primarily to avoid cards. The decisive clash between Brazil and Colombia will kick off at 9:00 AM on July 3 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
