It took 20 years for the coveted FIFA World Cup trophy to return to South America. Argentina defeated France on penalties after the 120 energy-sapping minutes which ended 3-3.
It shows how the Europeans dominated the FIFA World Cup in the last two decades.
Brazil is the country with the most World Cup trophies having won it on 5 occasions. Germany and Italy have each won it on 4 times with Argentina winning three.
The last time Brazil triumphed at the world stage was in 2002. Luis Fellipe Scolari led the legendary Selecao side that had Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Lima Ronaldo, Lucio, Ze Roberto, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho among so many talented players to glory.
It will be 24 years by the time the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be staged across the USA-Canada-Mexico since Brazil won the World Cup.
The qualifiers are underway on all the continents with the South American marathon reaching it’s peak. After seven games played, Brazil sits 4th trailing leaders Argentina by 8 points.
Ahead of their crucial fixture in Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay at the Estadio Defensores Del Chaco, head coach Dorival Junior in his pre-match conference promised Brazil and her fans across the globe of final berth in the 2026 World Cup.
“We will be in the 2026 World Cup final. We will be finalists.
“You can film me while I’m saying this. I have no doubts. We will be there,” Dorival added.
The swager and the confidence that accompanied Dorival’s words was incredible when speaking to the press.
The 2026 World Cup will be a very tough one as it will feature 48 teams.
The Selecao has been on and off lately as their performance has been a huge concern for their fans. 2026 is just around the corner and Dorival’s words have been recorded for future reference.
