The Brazil football team, five times Soccer Worldcup Champions, is the only team to have participated in all 19 World Cups. It’s no surprise then that they are tipped as the favorites to win the South Africa Worldcup 2010.
Brazil hosted the 1950 Soccer Worldcup, which ended in devastation as they were defeated in the finals by Uruguay. As evidence of their dissatisfaction, the Brazilian soccer team has never worn white soccer shirts since that year. In 1958 in Sweden, they became the first team to win the Soccer Worldcup in a different continent.
The Brazilian soccer team’s peak performance was at the 1970 Mexico World Cup where they claimed their third Soccer Worldcup championship. But unfortunately, this victory was not to be repeated again until the 1994 USA World Cup.
At the 1998 France Soccer Worldcup, they were once again named the favorites; however this was not to be the case, with the notorious Ronaldo story at the forefront of everyone’s mind. But in 2002, after Ronaldo was acquitted, all was forgotten at the Korea / Japan Soccer Worldcup and once again the Brazil football team rose to the challenge and took the championship.
The Brazilian soccer team is strong and has a depth of talent. Alongside Spain, they are once again ranked as the South Africa Worldcup 2010 favorites, to walk away with the Jules Rimet Trophy.

It’s really difficult to single out a handful of players amongst the Brazilian soccer team which is abundant with talent. However during the Brazil soccer 2009 season, a few legends stood out from the crowd. Firstly, the brilliant goalkeeper Julio Cesar, who has played in 18 Soccer Worldcup matches. His safe hands continue to be a fundamental aspect of the team’s success. Kaka has become a source of inspiration for the Brazilian soccer team after his superb performance throughout the Brazil soccer 2009 season which led to his worthy claim of the Adidas Golden Ball. And of course Luis Fabiano’s world class act with five goals including a priceless brace in their victory over the USA, totaling 9 Soccer Worldcup goals to his name.
Brazil’s Leadership
Born October 31, 1963 in Ijuí, Brazil, Carlos Caetano Bledorn Verri (better known as Dunga) is no stranger to Brazil football. As a ferocious and forceful midfielder, Dunga certainly experienced his fair share of emotions as a Brazilian soccer team player. At the ripe age of 30, he captained the Brazil soccer worldcup team to victory at the 1994 USA World Cup.
After 6 years of retirement, Dunga accepted the job as the Brazilian soccer team coach in August 2006, despite his lack of experience as a coach. In his initial months he received much criticism due to his non-traditional approach. However, he dismissed much of the doubt when he led A Canarinha to victory at the 2007 Copa America and the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, as well as finishing top of their group in the South Africa Worldcup 2010 qualifiers. Dunga has mentioned a number of times that he intends to retire after this season, so let’s see what transpires and who his successor will be. It’s anyone’s guess at this stage.
