How Successful Has Brazil Been at World Cup Tournaments?

The biggest and best sports competition in the world is the quest for the World Cup of

Soccer. Since 1930, the World Cup of Soccer has been akin to finding the Holy Grail in

sports terms. The country of Brazil has been a leader in this quest, winning the World Cup an

astounding five times (in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002). One could actually measure the

success of the sport of soccer by the amount of times Brazil has competed and come out on

top.

All the best soccer teams in the world want to play in the World Cup tournament, but only two

get chosen. There are more teams competing for the World Cup then there are countries

represented in the United Nations. The World Cup is at the very top of the sporting world,

with thousands of players competing for their chance to be a global sports star. There are

also millions more soccer fans who want to see their country win. Brazil is at the top of the

food chain when it comes to soccer. They have produced some of the best players of the

century with more stars rising from their ranks every season. Such notable soccer players

like Rivaldo, who came out of obscurity to win the World Cup of 2002 and Cafu, otherwise

known as Il Pendolino which means "the express train" captained the winning team of that

year. Whenever soccer is mentioned anywhere in the world, people immediately think of the

Brazilians and their achievements.

Brazil hasn't always been a shining example of the best teams, during the 1970's and 80's

they struggled with many injuries, fouls and scandals involving players and coaches. They

had many players who had outgrown their former glory and needed to do something to save

their image in the world. Brazil's players lost out to other countries, like Germany, Uruguay,

Italy and England. However, they remained a powerful force in the soccer world. In 1950 and

1998, respectively they won vice-championship in two editions and then went on to be semi-

finalists in 1938, 1974 and 1978. Their indomitable spirit and the absolute life dedication of

their players and fans set Brazil apart from players coming from other countries. But with

careful selection of players and higher standards in the soccer industry as set forth by the

Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) they were able to meet higher levels

of achievement and beat out the Germans in 2002.

In 2014, Brazil plays host to the World Cup and they are gearing up for a promising season

with some of the most physically-honed, skilled players in the world ready to do battle for old

"Victory". It should be an exciting time for soccer fans everywhere, most of all the people of

Latin America. Look for great things as Brazil proves once again why they are the country

with the most wins and some the best fans in the world.
