BRAZIL. KAZINFORM All Brazilians are proud to be five-time world champions, honoring the name of the football country. Here is a brief retrospective of the World Cups in which Brazil emerged victorious, reports Agencia Brasil.
Sweden (1958)
“The World Cup is ours, there is no one who can beat the Brazilians,” the march sung through the organization “Titulares do Ritmo” celebrates the first time that the national team is champion. At that time, Brazilians listened on the radio to the parties that were taking position in Europe. In fact, the team formed by Pelé, Garrincha, Didi, Gylmar, Zagalo and corporate faced European matches from start to finish. They won five matches, drew one and beat hosts Sweden in the final. Ultimate thanks to an impressive 5-2. A name more than deserved.
Chile (1962)
Four years later, with the same base of the last World Cup, Brazil has been proclaimed champion twice. True, there was a replacement coach: Vicente Feola left and Aymoré Moreira entered. Coincidentally, the conquest also ended in five wins and a draw. Pelé injured at the time of the game and then replaced by Amarildo. And the coach has only used twelve players in six games. In the last match, Brazil beat Czechoslovakia 3-1 and had a great time in Santiago.
Mexico (1970)
“90 million in action, go ahead, Brazil, save the national team. “Miguel Gustavo’s song of joy has become the enduring anthem of football and is related to both the triple world championship and the time when the military dictatorship was at its peak. The coach was now Zagalo and Brazil could only have one attack with Tostão, Rivelino, Pelé and Jairzinho. In six games, six wins and brilliant shots allowed Brazil to definitively conquer the Jules Rimet Cup. In the final, a cruel beating in Italy: four to 1.
United States (1994)
After 24 years without titles, Brazil has been proclaimed four-time world champion with a generation that began to emerge in the Olympic Games in Seoul (1988). Romário, Bebeto, Taffarel, Jorginho, Branco and company, under the orders of Carlos Alberto Parreira, had a strong campaign, with five wins and two draws to the title. In the final, a nervous breakdown against Italy. 0-0 draw in regulation time and in extra time and 3-2 victory on penalties.
Japan and South Korea (2002)
In a World Cup played between two Eastern countries, Brazil arrived with several stars, but with a bad qualifying campaign. The team, with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Marcos and Cafu, has outplayed all rivals, with seven wins from seven games under Luiz Felipe Scolari. In the final, in Japan, Brazil beat Germany 2-0, with two goals from Ronaldo, the five-time champion. After that, they never again controlled triumph in a final.
Brazil
Brazil, the only country that has participated in each and every one of the World Cups since the first edition in Uruguay (1930), has reached over the years the following positions: five champions, two runners-up and 14 early eliminations.
