Many countries can be proud of their rich histories at the World Cup, but none of them won the title more times than Brazil. While every team still in the race dreams of lifting the World Cup trophy, there is probably none under more pressure than Brazil as they try to end a 24-year title drought despite remaining the most successful nation in the tournament’s history. Brazil have won a record five World Cups. Their first title came in 1958 with a young Pelé, followed by another in 1962. They then assembled one of the greatest teams ever to win the 1970 tournament, claimed a fourth title with a more pragmatic style in 1994 and returned to their traditional attacking identity in 2002 to lift their fifth trophy. Their most memorable triumph came in Mexico in 1970, where they won all six matches. A team featuring five legendary No. 10s in Pelé, Jairzinho, Tostão, Rivellino and Gérson produced unforgettable soccer before sealing the title with a 4-1 victory over Italy in the final. Other World Cup performances With a nation that has won the tournament so many times, it is difficult to focus on anything other than its titles. Pelé remains the benchmark after helping Brazil win three World Cups, including back-to-back triumphs in 1958 and 1962, a feat no country has repeated since. Dunga was the captain of the team (Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) The title that least reflected Brazil’s traditional style came in 1994, when a more defensive team captained by Dunga relied on the brilliance of Romário and Bebeto in attack. The tournament is best remembered for Roberto Baggio’s missed penalty in the final shootout, which handed Brazil their fourth World Cup. There was not a long wait before another triumph arrived in 2002, when Ronaldo enjoyed the perfect redemption after the disappointment of the previous edition. Alongside legends such as Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, Brazil defeated Germany 2-0 in the final and became champions after winning all seven matches. The lost final Brazil’s World Cup history has been defined far more by victories than defeats, but they have still experienced heartbreak. Their only defeat in a World Cup final came in 1998, when Zinedine Zidane inspired France to a convincing 3-0 victory. They also finished as runners-up in 1950 in one of the most famous matches in soccer history. Albeit it was not officially a final because the tournament used a final group stage, Brazil lost 2-1 to Uruguay in the decisive match at the Maracanã, a result forever remembered as the “Maracanazo.”
Brazil will face off against Morocco in their opening FIFA World Cup group-stage match. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the action live in the United States. Here are all of the details of where you can watch Brazil vs Morocco on US television and via legal streaming: WHO Brazil vs Morocco WHAT 2026 World Cup WHEN 6:00pm ET / 3:00pm PT • Saturday, June 13, 2026 WHERE Fubo, DirecTV Stream, Sling, Peacock Premium, FOX, Telemundo and Hulu + Live TV STREAM WATCH NOW Match Overview Brazil enters the 2026 tournament on a mission to reclaim its global dominance after a difficult qualification campaign. The five-time champions are desperate to end a title drought stretching back to 2002. This opening match against a formidable Moroccan side at MetLife Stadium is their first major test, setting the tone for their entire campaign and offering a chance to make a powerful statement from the outset. Morocco, meanwhile, arrives as one of the world’s most improved teams. After a historic semi-final run in 2022 and a recent Africa Cup of Nations title, the Atlas Lions are no longer underdogs. Ranked eighth in the world, just two spots behind Brazil, they have the talent and tactical discipline to challenge the very best. This clash is a chance to prove their elite status and secure a vital result in a tough group. Tactical Analysis & Match Context This match promises a classic clash of styles. Brazil, under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, will look to dominate possession and use the individual brilliance of its wingers to break down defenses. During qualifiers, they thrived on territorial control, averaging over 62% possession. However, their aggressive attacking posture has left them vulnerable to counter-attacks, a weakness they must manage carefully. Morocco is expected to revert to the disciplined, low-block defensive strategy that served them so well in Qatar. They excel at absorbing pressure and launching swift counters, a tactic that famously frustrated top European sides. With the speed of Achraf Hakimi and the creativity of Brahim Díaz, their transitions are a significant threat. Their ability to remain compact and exploit any space left by Brazil will be key to the outcome. For both teams, avoiding an opening-day defeat is the primary objective. With Scotland and Haiti rounding out the group, this fixture is arguably the most challenging for both sides. A draw would be a satisfactory result for either manager, positioning them well for qualification to the knockout stages. Expect a cautious, highly tactical battle where a single moment of brilliance could decide the result. Head-to-Head Record & Historic Trends Historically, Brazil and Morocco have only met once in an official competition. That encounter took place during the 1998 World Cup group stage in France, where a star-studded Brazilian side featuring Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Bebeto secured a comfortable 3-0 victory. However, the competitive landscape has shifted dramatically since then. A more recent friendly in March 2023 offers a different perspective, with Morocco stunning Brazil with a 2-1 win in Tangier. That result signaled the narrowing gap between the two nations and serves as a reminder that Morocco is more than capable of competing with the South American giants. Brazil‘s overall record against African teams in the tournament is strong, with seven wins and just one loss in eight matches, but that sole defeat came against Cameroon in 2022. Brazil boasts an impressive 20-3 goal difference against CAF opponents in past tournaments, but recent trends suggest a tighter affair is likely. Morocco‘s defense was the best at the 2022 tournament, keeping four clean sheets. Given the high stakes of an opening match, both teams are expected to prioritize defensive solidity, making a low-scoring game a strong possibility. Squad News & Projected Lineups Both squads head into this crucial opener with significant injury concerns affecting key players. For Brazil, the prim
It was another season to remember for Lamine Yamal and Barcelona, along with Getafe, Rayo and one naughty fanLamine Yamal wore the crown and flew the flag. With the last kick of the opening game of 2025-26, Barcelona’s new No 10 – the teenager handed the shirt Ladislao Kubala, Luis Suárez, Diego Maradona, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi once wore, the kid Spain coach, Luis de la Fuente, had claimed was “touched by God’s wand” and had been anointed by Him too – scored against Mallorca. It was his first goal as an adult and he celebrated by conducting his own coronation. La Liga’s title race had begun.The day after it had been run, nine months on, as Barcelona’s bus made its way through the streets, from the top deck of the victory parade Lamine Yamal held a Palestine flag. “This is something I don’t normally like but I spoke to him and if he wants to it’s his decision,” Hansi Flick said. “He’s old enough: he’s 18.” Coming of age in the public eye wasn’t easy – isn’t easy – and the season hadn’t been either. There had been injuries and, Lamine Yamal later admitted, an “internal abyss”, but he had his third league title. Flick, the father figure whose own dad died on the morning they won the league and chose to share that with his other “family”, had his second. Have you ever felt so much love, the coach was asked. “No, never,” he said. Continue reading...
