Of the many reasons for Brazil's elimination from the Women's World Cup, none is as simple as the understanding that the team played poorly. Simple like that.

When Brazil was knocked out by Croatia in the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar last December, actor and voice actor Gustavo Machado, 24, spotted an opportunity. The Brazilian fans were still trying to understand how Tite's team had lost a victory in the final minutes of extra time before being overcome during penalty kicks when a video of Neymar arguing with Fred went viral on social networks. You could see how aggravated the number 10 player was with the midfielder's decision to go on the attack at that point in the game, but it took lip reading to actually understand his scolding his teammate.

"Then I thought: I'll do the dubbing, I have a lot of practice with it, I think I'll do it here just so people can understand what was said and feel the same frustration that I felt", the actor tells Folha.
