Brazil hosted the 1950 Soccer World Cup, which finished in disappointment as they were beaten in the finals by Uruguay. As a demonstration of their disappointment, the Brazilian soccer team has never worn white soccer shirts since that year. In 1958 in Sweden, they were the initial team to win the Soccer World Cup in another continent.
The Brazilian soccer team's peak performance was at the 1970 Mexico World Cup where they welcomed their third Soccer World Cup victory. But regrettably, this triumph was not to be repeated again until the 1994 USA World Cup.
At the 1998 France Soccer World Cup, they were once again referenced as the favorites; but this was not to be the case, with the infamous Ronaldo story at the front of everybody's thoughts. But in 2002, after Ronaldo was acquitted, all was forgotten at the Korea / Japan Soccer World Cup and once again the Brazil football team rose to the test and walked away with the championship.
The Brazilian soccer team is robust and has a depth of talent. Alongside Spain, they are once more ranked as the South Africa World Cup 2010 favorites, to walk away with the Jules Rimet Trophy.
Brazilian Football Team Accomplishments
- The South African World Cup 2010 will be the Brazilian soccer team's 19th successive FIFA World Cup final. They are the only country to have been present in all Soccer World Cup tournaments.

- During 15 June 2008 and 11 October 2009, the Brazil football team celebrated 19 unbeaten matches.
