At least I got to see the Brazilian national team win the World Cup twice live (on TV, of course), in 1994 and 2002. I don’t know about you, but I believe many people here on the forum didn’t witness that.

I was doing the math and some research, if the Brazilian team doesn't win the 2026 World Cup, it will surpass the previous record for the longest title drought, which was 24 years (1970–1994; 2002–2026). That would mean almost three decades without winning the trophy. I think that’s also a big reason why the fans have abandoned the team… there’s no hype, no major achievements, etc. Kids and teenagers today don’t even know what it’s like to see Brazil as world champions.

I also watched the 1994 and 2002 World Cups Cool

I have great memories, and people who aren't Brazilian have no idea what a World Cup is like here in our country, where practically everyone closes their shops, there are no classes, everyone goes to watch the games with family and friends...

Today it seems that the players don't have that notion, they play very well for their clubs, but when it's their turn to play for Brazil, something is missing, the will is missing and the fans no longer identify with these players
There are few today who have that ability
That's why we criticize the national team so much

Now all we can do is wait and hope that Ancellotti finds a good team to make Brazil play well again
At least a World Cup semi-final would be a good thing under the circumstances.

That’s so cool, we’re practically from the same generation. Do you remember how fun it was to paint the sidewalks and streets with the crests and colors of the World Cup teams? I remember my street would be fully decorated with paintings, little green and yellow flags... it was amazing. It’s a shame that all that spirit has faded over time. Those were good times, something the younger generations will never truly experience.

This is something that happens to me too. In fact, during the last World Cup we did this tradition by covering the entire street with little flags made from bags. It is something very special and brings back many good memories. It really is a great way to go back in time to when the team played with passion and really won matches.
