Fans celebrate the awarding of the 2014 World Cup to Brazil.
“Much of the History of the World Cups can be told by telling the History of Brazil in the World Cups. Brazil has been five times champion (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002), vice-champion in two editions (1950 and 1998) and semi-finalist in other three (1938, 1974 and 1978). Several of the best players in History of football were Brazilian, and most of them left their register in the World Cups” The above quote is taken from this website that shows the trail blazed by the Brazil team in World Cup tournaments down the years – starting from 1930.
