A video of a group of people throwing eggs at a bus is being widely shared on social media in the context of Brazil's elimination from the FIFA World Cup 2022 quarterfinals. It is claimed that the video shows fans being irate toward the Brazilian football team after they arrive in Brazil. Posts that are similar can be seen here and here Let's check the assertion in the post.
Using the viral video's keyframes, we conducted a reverse image search and discovered that the same video had already been uploaded to YouTube on March 28, 2018. According to the title, Paraná residents were throwing eggs at the bus carrying Lula, the former president of Brazil.
Another video of this incident recorded by a passenger inside the bus can be seen here. According to Brazilian media, on 26 March 2018, a group of protestors in the state of “Paraná attacked a bus by mistaking it as a part of Lula’s convoy during election campaign”.
Moreover, no such incident of fans throwing eggs at the Brazilian football team was reported following their elimination from the FIFA World cup 2022.
To sum it up, an old unrelated video is falsely shared as fans throwing eggs at the defeated Brazil team.
Claim: Following the Brazilian football team's exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, fans in Brazil threw eggs at the bus carrying them.
Conclusion: This video was made in Brazil in March of 2018. It depicts protesters in Brazil attacking a bus with eggs in the belief that it belonged to the convoy of former president Lula. In addition, there were no reports of fans throwing eggs at the Brazilian football team after they were eliminated from the World Cup 2022. Therefore, the assertion made in the post is WRONG.
