All Flamengo players have already been eliminated from the World Cup

Flamengo had nine players called up to compete in the World Cup. However, the national teams featuring the Rubro-Negro players have already exited the tournament. The last to say goodbye was Jorge Carrascal, of Colombia. So, Coluna do Fla gathered each player's stats through Sofascore:

How did Alex Sandro perform at the World Cup?

Flamengo’s left back came on only once, replacing Douglas Santos. It was the third round of the group stage, and Brazil had already scored three goals against Scotland. So, the fullback came off the bench and played for only eight minutes.

How did Danilo perform at the World Cup?

Flamengo’s experienced center back revisited his days as a right back. That was because, with Wesley’s injury, only Ibañez and the veteran were able to play out wide. So, the hero of Brazil’s fourth World Cup title took part in all five of the national team’s matches.

How did Lucas Paquetá perform at the World Cup?

The playmaker’s injury contributed to Brazil’s elimination, since Ancelotti himself said he did not have another player with the number 10’s characteristics in the squad. Before getting injured, however, the midfielder was a starter for Brazil.

How did Léo Pereira perform at the World Cup?

Of the four Rubro-Negro players called up, Léo Pereira was the only one Carlo Ancelotti did not use. As a result, the center back returns to Flamengo without playing a single minute in Brazil’s five World Cup matches.

How did Arrascaeta perform at the World Cup?

Like Léo Pereira, Arrascaeta did not play in this edition of the World Cup. That was because the Uruguayan arrived at camp lacking match fitness. Then, the star injured his calf in training, which led Flamengo to accuse La Celeste of hurting the Rubro-Negro idol.

How did Varela perform at the World Cup?

Flamengo’s right back started in Uruguay’s only three World Cup matches. In fact, the fullback was never substituted. So, the defender racked up heavy minutes at the tournament.

How did De La Cruz perform at the World Cup?

The Mais Querido midfielder began the World Cup on the bench. Faced with La Celeste’s poor performances, fans called for the Uruguayan to start. However, the player remained a bench option.

How did Gonzalo Plata perform at the World Cup?

Ecuador had the best World Cup qualifying campaign in the country’s history. However, that strong form was not repeated at the tournament. Still, the forward scored an important goal to avoid elimination in the group stage.

How did Jorge Carrascal perform at the World Cup?

In the same situation as Léo Pereira and Arrascaeta, Jorge Carrascal did not take the field for Colombia. As a result, the midfielder is still yet to play a World Cup match in his career.
