Brazil Faces World Cup Heartbreak Again

Brazil's national team has been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup in the Round of 16, suffering a 2-1 defeat to Norway, marking their worst performance in the tournament in 36 years.

According to Opta statistics, this is the first time Brazil has exited in the Round of 16 since 1990, when they lost to Argentina.

The defeat also ended a remarkable streak for the Seleção, who had reached at least the quarter-finals in the last eight consecutive World Cups, with their early exit in 2026 coming against Norway.

Notably, Norway will face the winner of the match between England and Mexico in the quarter-finals.
