Jair Paula da Cunha Filho OF BRASIL!

I thought the "of.." accolade was given when they made their international debut when at Forest

God, this international break is long

EDIT: scratch the above, I see Neco has it, and he made his debut when he was still at Liverpool.

If that was the case, I doubt more than 3-4 of our current players would qualify.
 
Based on the available match reports:
  • He played the final 15+ minutes as a centre-back after Brazil had fallen 1-0 behind. [transfermarkt.com], [futbol24.com]
  • Brazil pushed forward late and equalized through Rayan in stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw. [espn.com.au], [theguardian.com]
  • Detailed player ratings for Jair were not published in the sources I found, so there is no verified assessment of his individual performance. [espn.com.au], [theguardian.com]
  • Reports describing the match did not highlight any major mistakes or decisive actions by Jair, suggesting a relatively uneventful debut in which he helped Brazil see out the final stages before the late equalizer. [espn.com.au], [theguardian.com]
For context, the 21-year-old Nottingham Forest defender had earned his first call-up after becoming a regular starter in the Premier League this season. [rotowire.com], [goal.com]

So the short answer is: a solid, low-key debut off the bench, with no standout errors and no major headline moments, as Brazil drew 1-1 after a late equalizer. [transfermarkt.com], [espn.com.au]

I agree with the assessment. Solid. I thought we played well.

This is the sort of game Murillo should have been introduced in, not Argentina.

The proper English spelling is Brazil. We don't do Deutschland, España etc so I don't know why it's Brasil here.

The English spelling should change in this case. Brazil and Brasil would be spoken the same way, so makes no sense to "translate" it. Out of respect for the country in question should be no need to translate. But as for Deutschland, Espana and Norge.... Sounds very different and need to be "translated" ;-)
 
Jair Cunha, like Socrates, Bebeto, Ronaldo, Jairzinho, Pele, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Clodoaldo, Carlos Alberto, Garrincha, Roberto Carlos, and many dozens and dozens of other brilliant footballers, represents the República Federativa do Brasil.

Not Brazil.

Plus murillo
 
Vitor Reis was their starting centre back, he’s played about 19 seconds in total for City this season. And Douglas Luiz was in the squad 😂
 
Victor
Felipe Jair Murillo
Lodi Luiz Santos Cuiabano
Danilo Scarpa
Jesus
Bench: Miguel, Morato, Bonatini, Ely
​
What a team we could have had. An entire 11, and almost a complete squad, of Brazilians. We should stop signing Premier League has-beens on the decline and go for a nice tidy complete Brazilian all over.

Great to hear , but I still find it amazing how he even got called up from little game time for Forest last season and with him being so young, i'd thought it would have taken him a couple of good seasons with Forest to be a starter in the first senior team.
 
I think anyone who watches this kid can see his natural ability in one of the most important, and difficult to coach aspects of defending; composure.

He's young and will get caught making bad decisions but he generally operates with a level of compsure you only really see in the top-tier. A little slower for sure but, he reminds me of a young Ferdinand.
 
Jair Paula da Cunha Filho (Jair Cunha) had a solid outing for Brazil in today's 4-2 win over Australia in Brisbane. He started at centre-back and played until the 87th minute before being replaced by Vitor Reis. [skysports.com], [xscores.com]
Based on the match reports available:
  • Brazil won 4-2 after being level at 2-2 at halftime. [skysports.com], [xscores.com]
  • Jair was part of a defence that conceded two goals but then kept Australia scoreless for most of the second half as Brazil pulled away. [skysports.com], [xscores.com]
  • He remained on the pitch for 87 minutes, which suggests coach Carlo Ancelotti trusted him throughout almost the entire match. [skysports.com]
  • There are no goals, assists, cards, or major defensive errors attributed to Jair in the available match commentary. [skysports.com]
This was particularly notable because it was his second senior international appearance after earning his first Brazil call-up earlier this month while playing for Nottingham Forest. [ge.globo.com], [en.wikipedia.org]
Overall, the available reports point to a steady, uneventful defensive performance rather than a standout display, with Brazil securing a comfortable victory. [skysports.com]

So.... Now young Jair has more games for Brasil than Murillo :)
 
His value should have skyrocketed now for a young Brazilian international defender.
What would you say
£80-90 million ?

Excellent progress for young Jair.
Man Cheatey will obviously be in with a £120 million bid next week.
