Amid a possible player revolt, Brazil beat Ecuador 2-0 on Friday to win its fifth consecutive match in South American World Cup qualifying. But a crisis looms over the team since its country was appointed as host of Copa America. Tite's post-match press conference was one of the team's most anticipated in years after he spent the day hearing rumors he could resign before Copa America begins. “This is the World Cup for us.”The midfielder added any decision “will come from all" Brazil players. Local media said earlier that footballers of European clubs were leading the charge to not play in Copa America.
