Brazil even transformed the World Cup into a synonym for the Brazilian team. There were five titles, historic finals and generations of players that marked an era. But, since the fifth, in 2002, the team has not won the World Cup again. Not even reaching a final. Now, the greatest champion in the world has entered the biggest fast in its history. Brazil's early elimination from the 2026 World Cup against Norway increased the feeling of crisis. The team had not reached the round of 16 since 1990. As a result, we reached six consecutive World Cups without titles. Football has changed. Brazil lost space. In this episode, Natuza Nery talks to Paulo César Vasconcellos, sports journalist and commentator for Sport TV, about what explains this historic fast and the challenges facing Brazilian football to return to the top.
