Robson Critiques Brazil's Igor Thiago Ahead of Haiti Match
Stewart Robson, a former Arsenal midfielder, commented on Brazil striker Igor Thiago's performance during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, stating that Thiago is unlikely to be included in the starting lineup against Haiti following a disappointing showing in a 1-1 draw against Morocco. This match took place on June 13 in East Rutherford.
Thiago, who plays for Brentford, made his World Cup debut but failed to make a significant impact, leading to speculation that head coach Carlo Ancelotti would favor Luiz Henrique instead. Ancelotti expressed dissatisfaction with the team's nervous performance, particularly after they dropped points against Morocco, the reigning African champions.
Brazil will face Haiti on June 19 in Philadelphia, marking Haiti's first FIFA World Cup appearance in 52 years. Thiago had previously scored twice in prior appearances but could not replicate that success in this crucial match.
