>fucking how?!!?
Karma. The moment the TV commentator boosted right before the match about how "Brazil has never been beaten by Japan before in main matches, only once with the olympic team" I thought "this motherfucker just jinxed us". Lo and behold, we got fucked.

>there were many questionable players in field.
Yup. IIRC of the team that beat Korea, only 3 players were called for this game. Ancelotti is testing stuff, thankfully it wasn't a game that actually mattered too much. The Japanese must have been super happy though, since they look up to Brazilian football a lot, with Brazilian players like Zico being key to popularizing the sport there.

>You a die-hard seleção supporter?
I don't go crazy over it, but I've learned to appreciate the sport. My whole family loves football. Me, being a giga contrarian, couldn't care less for it growing up. After 2014, they became disillusioned with it, and I actually came to like it on my own. The 2018 WC was the first one I followed in earnest and got sad we lost, and have been following the seleção ever since.
