Word of cup brazil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article summarizes the results and overall performance of Brazil at the FIFA World Cup, including the qualification phase and the final phase, officially called the World Cup finals. The qualification phase, which currently takes place over the three years preceding the finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the finals. The current format of the finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month. The World Cup Final is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated over 1 billion people watching the 2014 tournament final.[1]

Brazil is the most successful national team in the history of the World Cup, having won five titles, earning second place, third place and fourth place finishes twice each. Brazil is one of the countries besides Argentina, Spain and Germany to win a FIFA World Cup away from its continent and the only one to do it in four different continents. (Sweden 1958, Chile 1962, Mexico 1970, United States 1994 and South Korea/Japan 2002). Brazil is the only national team to have played in all FIFA World Cup editions without any absence or need for playoffs. In 22 World Cup tournaments, Brazil had 76 victories out of 114 matches. Brazil also has the best overall performance in World Cup history in both proportional and absolute terms with a record of 76 victories in 114 matches played, 129 goal difference, 247 points and only 19 losses.[2][3]

Traditionally, Brazil’s greatest rival is Argentina. The two countries have met each other four times in the history of the FIFA World Cup, with two wins for Brazil (West Germany 1974 and Spain 1982), one for Argentina (Italy 1990) and a draw (Argentina 1978). The country that played most against Brazil in the finals is Sweden: 7 times, with five wins for Brazil and two draws. Three other historical rivals are Italy, which lost two World Cup finals against Brazil and eliminated the Brazilians in two tournaments (France 1938 and Spain 1982), France, which has defeated Brazil on three occasions (Mexico 1986, France 1998 and Germany 2006), and the Netherlands, which has eliminated Brazil at two of their five meetings (West Germany 1974 and South Africa 2010) and won the third place match in Brazil 2014.

Brazil won their first world cup final in 1958, 28 years after the first competition was held in 1930. The second longest streak before winning their fourth world cup title in 1994 came 24 years after winning their third title in 1970. Since earning their fifth world cup final and title in 2002, it has currently been 20 years since Brazil has reached and won another world cup final.

Notes
  • 1930: Some sources claim that players Doca (São Cristóvão) and Benevenuto (Flamengo) were not officially entered at the 1930 squad. This count includes Benevenuto and Doca. Araken never played for Flamengo, but he was registered as a club athlete just as a matter of formality, since APEA (São Paulo) was in a power struggle over command of Brazilian football with the CBD, situated in Rio de Janeiro. The player, in fact, had terminated with Santos and signed with São Paulo.[6][7]
  • 1934: This count does not include players who didn’t travel to Italy and stayed on stand-by in Brazil: Almeida (Bahia), Bilé (Ypiranga-SP), Jaguaré (Corinthians) and Pamplona (Botafogo).[8] Neither includes Domingos da Guia, barred from participating in the competition by Nacional Montevideo, who had already ceded Patesko and demanded a high compensation fee.[9]

Brazil are out of the FIFA World Cup 2022 following a 4-2 loss to Croatia on penalties on Friday (9 December).

After a 0-0 draw in regular time, the Selecao looked set to advance to the next stage of the football tournament when Neymar broke the deadlock with a stunning goal mid-way through extra time.

But an equaliser from Bruno Petkovic in the dying moments forced the game to go to penalties where two crucial misses from Rodrygo and Marquinhos sealed Brazil’s fate.

The South Americans’ departure from World Cup at the quarter-finals stages comes as a shock after they produced a memorable 4-1 rout of Republic of Korea in the round of 16 on Monday.

Their rousing knockout game followed a solid campaign in the group stages where the five-time world champions finished on top of their pool with a 2-0 victory over Serbia, a 1-0 victory over Switzerland a 0-1 loss to Cameroon.

As five-time champions Brazil, with a squad featuring Richarlison, Alisson and Vinicius Jr, were among the favourites to lift the crown in Qatar but will now have to wait another four years for an attempt at an elusive sixth title.

One of the firmest pre-tournament favourites, Brazil have lived up to their tag so far at World Cup 2022, reaching the last eight for the eighth finals running – thanks to a comfortable 4-1 win over South Korea in the last 16.

Despite losing their final group game (which was ultimately inconsequential as they still finished top) 1-0 to Cameroon with a fully rotated starting 11, this Brazilian squad is stacked with quality across the board.

In attack, boss Tite is utterly spoilt for choice: talisman Neymar has missed two of his country’s four games in Qatar through injury, but Richarlison has well and truly stepped up to the plate to further cement his spot as the Selecao’s number nine: featuring at his first World Cup, the 25-year-old  has scored three goals so far, including a brace (featuring a quite brilliant acrobatic effort) to secure a 2-0 win over Serbia in the opening match. And that’s before we even get onto the wide threat provided by the likes of Vinicius Junior and Raphinha.

Any success for the five-time world champions this time around was also always likely to owe much to robust defensive foundations: Marquinhos and Thiago Silva have proved what an elite centre-back pairing they are (though goalkeeper Alisson provides an equally elite last line of defence), while Casemiro has knitted things together superbly in midfield, as well as scoring the only goal of the game against Switzerland to secure his team’s passage to the knockout stages.

Croatia ought to provide Brazil’s sternest test of this World Cup so far – but, with the form they’ve been showing, it’s hard to see Neymar and co. do anything but progress to the nation’s 11th semi-final (they finished as runners-up in 1950, but that tournament was unique in featuring a final group instead of a regular knockout stage and final).

Brazil manager

Who is Brazil’s manager for the 2022 World Cup?

A charismatic figure who at times comes across like a priest for the way he dresses and speaks, Tite has already announced that he will leave his post after the World Cup. He has transformed the team after the 7-1 Gotterdammerung in 2014 and their Copa America group-stage exit two years later. He’ll be a difficult man to replace.

Brazil’s star player

Who is Brazil’s best player?

Neymar is just two goals away from equalling Pele’s record as Brazil’s all-time top scorer. If that isn’t enough motivation, the PSG superstar has already hinted that this might be his last World Cup. Now aged 30, more mature and with a talented supporting cast, the number 10 must lead his team and leave the comedy theatrics behind.

How many have Brazil taken to the 2022 World Cup?

National managers were allowed to bring 26 players to last summer’s European Championship for the first time at a major tournament, as a special measure brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic – while last year’s Copa America allowed squads of 28 players.

It was then announced that 26-player squads would return for the Qatar World Cup, an expansion from the usual 23-man selections.

After being very disappointed in Copa America 2021 they will perform better in the FIFA World cup. Brazil just missed the chance to prove to them that they are the best they lost the final in Copa America against Argentina. But we can’t deny Brazil is not an excellent team and has the best player. Pele is Brazil’s all-time record goal scorer with 77 goals in 92 appearances. Ronaldo is second in Brazil’s list of all-time top goal scorers with 62 goals in 98 appearances.

In the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the possible Captain could be Thiago Silva as he is one of the best defenders in the world, and Brazil will move into FIFA World Cup with Its best players Alisson, Ederson, Neymar, Fabinho, etc.

Brazil is a team with a lot of potential and is expected to perform really well in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Many of Brazil’s squad members are in terrific form and will hope to continue this form till the start of the FIFA World Cup.

They are expected to top their group and qualify for the knockout stages of the World Cup. Brazil reached the finals of the 2021 Copa America tournament. Although they lost the finals to Argentina, Brazil’s dominance in the tournament caught many people’s eyes and will serve as a warning for all teams going against them in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Brazil is also one of the favorites to win the FIFA World Cup as well and it will not be surprising if they go all the way and win the World Cup trophy. Brazil’s last World Cup triumph came in 2002 and the new generation of Brazilians will be very motivated to increase Brazil’s total tally of World Cups to 6.

Who Is Brazil’s Head Coach?

Adenor Leonardo Bacchi, commonly known as Tite, has been Brazil’s manager since 2016. Tite was announced as Brazil’s manager after Dunga was fired in June 2016. This sacking came after Brazil’s terrible performance in the 2016 Copa America Centenario which saw Brazil get eliminated in the group stages itself. Tite led Brazil to the Quarter Finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup followed by a wonderful run in the 2019 Copa America tournament which saw Brazil lift the Copa America trophy.

Brazil also reached the finals of the 2021 Copa America tournament but was denied back-to-back trophies by Argentina who beat them in the finals of the 2021 Copa America tournament. Tite will now hope to lift the 2022 FIFA World Cup with Brazil and put the final feather in his cap as Brazil’s head coach.

Brazil’s Strengths and Weaknesses

Brazil’s biggest strength is its squad depth and the number of players they have in every position. They have young exciting talents like Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, and Gabriel Jesus, as well as Experience in players like Thiago Silva and Casemiro. This balance helps Brazil get an evened-out squad which all teams competing in the World Cup will have to watch out for. The one criticism received by Brazil is regarding their manager.

Many people have said that Tite is weak as a manager and does not have any tactics, and that Brazil could perform a lot better if this talented squad played under a better manager. Till now Tite has managed to make Brazil reach the Quarter-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, win the 2019 Copa America trophy, and end up as runners up in the 2021 Copa America tournament.

This record is nothing to laugh about and whether it is Tite’s tactics or Brazil’s talent, Brazil have been a very dominant team since Tite was appointed as the manager. Only time will tell how Tite’s Brazil squad will perform in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Brazil’s current best player?

Neymar, the PSG winger, looks to be Brazil’s most important contributor. Having hinted at this as his last World Cup, he will look to lead Brazil in their charge for a record 6th FIFA World Cup victory.

Who is Brazil’s best striker?

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus and Tottenham front man Richarlison look to be Brazil’s best options up front in this World Cup.

Who is Brazil’s number 1 goalkeeper?

What is Brazil’s biggest win?

Brazil’s biggest World Cup win was at the 1950 World Cup when they beat Sweden 7-1.

Brazil Neymar Richarlison Thiago SilvaGOAL

Brazil are through to the last 16 of the World Cup, but who is available to Tite for the round of 16 clash against South Korea?

Five-time World Cup champions Brazil are the most successful team in the history of the competition, but 2002 was the last time the Selecao got their hands on the coveted trophy.

There were quarter-final exits in 2006, 2010 and 2018, while they had to settle for fourth spot in 2014 after a tournament to forget.

Now it’s up to the likes of Neymar, Vinicius Junior and more to end the Selecao’s drought and finally bring home the trophy once more.

They went past Serbia and Switzerland but lost to Cameroon in their final group game. However, they have successfully booked their berth in the round of 16 as group winners.

A spirited South Korea now awaits in the next round and Tite’s side have to be at their very best if they want to reach the quarter-finals.

Brazil received a major blow just three days before their last-16 tie as full-back Alex Telles and forward Gabriel Jesus were ruled out of the World Cup due to injury.
