What happened?

Brazil was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup, losing to Norway on July 5, 2026. The last game was a tough blow for the green and yellow team, which was seeking a better campaign.

Why does this matter for Brazil?

The elimination in the quarterfinals was the worst campaign for Brazil since 1990. It's time to learn from others and improve. Spain, the world champion, offers valuable lessons for Brazil.

What can Spain teach Brazil?

Spain practices an offensive football, based on ball possession and short and quick passes in the attack. They have fixed the system in 4-3-3, always with open wings and a highly technical midfield. This is completely different from what Brazil lives, whose success model was abandoned years ago.

Collective above the individual

In Spain, the collective is the real protagonist. A team of many talents, that unitedly strengthens. Something that Brazil has not had for a long time. Those who are paying attention will remember 2014, when Neymar, just a little older than Lamine Yamal, was the only one capable of defining a game for the Selection.

Vote of confidence in the coach

Luis de La Fuente is an experienced coach, with an impressive curriculum. He started working with Spain in 2022 and has been yielding fruits year after year. Nations League in 2023, Euro in 2024, World Cup now in 2026 and the biggest unbeaten streak in international football, with 38 games without losing.

Defense, the soul of the business

Spain took the idea that defense is the soul of the business to the last instance. They have a solid and effective defense, which helps them win championships. It's time for Brazil to learn from Spain and improve its defense.

What's next?

Brazil has a next game waiting, against Australia on September 25, 2026. It's time to learn from Spain and improve to face the challenges that are approaching.

Recently, Brazil has been presenting a good form, with 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 games. The last game was a loss to Norway on July 5, 2026, but the team is working to improve and return to wins.
