– Writting concerning Brazil’s World Cup history is a writing of its own. I’ll ANd} be an terse as potential. this is often the foremost in nation in World Cup history that hasn’t lost one edition of this event. Its 5 Jules Rimet trophies beat Germany’s four. 1930 and 1966 square measure the sole years once La Seleccao did not progress past the cluster stage. oddly enough, they won the 2 World Cups before 1966 and also the one once.
In 1958, Brazil beat France 5-2 within the semi-final then defeated the host Sverige by a similar score within the final to elevate its terribly initial WC trophy. 17-year-old Pele scored 2 goals within the final.

The other 2 titles came in 1994 and 2002.

Coach: Tite
The Brazilians were sweating Neymar’s fitness and square measure glad to possess him back within the lineup simply in time for the planet Cup. a similar can’t be same concerning Dani Alves, whose presence are painfully lost. Brazil is usually among the favorites, however this year, it's the most favorite. Tite’s men are enjoying excellently along. they appear to be enjoying feeding off of every alternative and have the terrible expertise from the 2014 World Cup semi-final to inform them to not relax at any time.
For me, Casemiro’s emergence is crucial for the soundness and balance of this squad. His presence permits for the remainder of the additional attacking-minded midfielders cherish Coutinho, Willian or Fred to roll before and facilitate the attackers rather than considering their defensive duties. Brazil’s cluster isn't easy, however it involves 3 groups that square measure additional probably to play to not lose than to win, that plays right into La Seleccao’s temperature.
