In 1996 the Brazilian national football team won 35 consecutive games without losing this feat was were able to record as the world record for over 25 years.

Portugal due to the fact that they share a common language, Portugal due to the shared traditions and cultural characteristics and the high number of Brazilian-born athletes in Portugal.
The story of Brazil national team of football began with their first match at an international level in 1914, which ended in a loss of 0-3 to Argentina. Brazil took part in the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930. Its Brazil National team has won numerous times throughout its time winning five times the FIFA World Cup five times from 1958.
It is widely thought that the inaugural match that was played by the Brazil national team an 1814 match between a Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo selected team as well as English football club Exeter City, held in the Fluminense stadium. Brazil defeated the opposition 2-0, thanks to goals scored by Oswaldo Gomes, and Osman however it was claimed that the match ended in three-three draw.
Contrary to its later successes, the team's initial performances were not great. Some of the early games played during this period include a series of friendly games with Argentina (being defeated by a score of 3-0), Chile (first in 1916) and Uruguay (first on the 12th of July 1916). But, aided by the goalscoring skills by Arthur Friedenreich, they were triumphant at home in their home match at the South American Championships in 1919 and then won again also on home turf in 1922.
The year was 1930 and Brazil participated in their inaugural World Cup, held in Uruguay. The team beat Bolivia but fell to Yugoslavia before being eliminated from the tournament. They were eliminated in the initial round against Spain during 1934's match in Italy and then made it to finals France in 1938. However, they were defeated by 2-1 the eventual champions Italy. Brazil are the one South American team to participate in this tournament.
In 1949, the South American Championship held in Brazil was the end of a 27-year run that had no titles officially recognized. The previous one was in 1922's South American Championship, also held in Brazilian soil.
Then, Brazil first achieved international recognition in 1950 when it hosted the FIFA World Cup. Brazil's team played in the final round of their final stage, against Uruguay at the Estadio do Maracana in Rio with only one draw to take home the World Cup. Uruguay was able to win the game and the Cup in a match known in the game as "the Maracanazo". The game triggered an era of national mourning.
The 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, Brazil was essentially revamped, with the team's colors changed (to an entirely new design created by Alyr Schlee) from white and black to the blue, yellow as well as the green color of their flag, and the Maracanazo however, they still featured a number of top players. Brazil made it to the quarter-finals but were defeated by the tournament favorites Hungary during one of the most ugly games in the history of football, dubbed for the Battle of Berne.
In 1958, for the World Cup, Brazil were placed in a group alongside England as well as Austria, USSR along with the USSR and Austria. They defeated Austria 3-1 in their first match, and then played 1-1 against England. Prior to the game the head coach Vicente Feola made three substitutions that were crucial to Brazil to win against their opponents, the Soviets: Zito, Garrincha and Pele. At the start of the match, they continued to press hard and within three minutes of play, later referred to as "the most memorable ever three-minute football match", Vava gave Brazil the advantage. They took the game two goals. Pele made the goal in their quarter-final clash against Wales and they defeated France by 5-2 during the semifinal. Brazil later beat Sweden by 5-2 in the final to win the first World Cup and becoming the first nation to take home the World Cup title outside of the continent it is on. Pele expressed it as an emerging nation.
In 1962's World Cup, Brazil earned its second title . It was won with Garrincha as the main player as well as a responsibility and mantle was handed to him following the main talisman Pele suffered an injury during the second match of the group against Czechoslovakia and was unable to participate for the remainder of the tournament.
At the 1996 World Cup, Brazil had the worst performance they have ever had in the history of a World Cup. The 1966 World Cup was noted for the intense physicality of the game as well as Pele was among the players who suffered the most. In the match against Portugal numerous violent attacks by Portuguese defense led to Pele to withdraw from the game and also the tournament. Brazil was defeated and was eliminated from the opening stage of the World Cup for the first time since 1934. They have never failed to make it through the knockout stage of the tournament since. Brazil was the second country to be eliminated in the initial round, while also holding the World Cup crown following Italy in 1950. Following the 2002, 2010 2014, and the 2018 World Cups, France, Italy, Spain and Germany were added to the list. Following the event, Pele declared that he would not like to participate at his next World Cup again. But, he did return in the year 1970.
Brazil was the third country to win the World Cup in Mexico in 1970. The team has since was often regarded as the most impressive World Cup football squad ever and was with the help of Pele during his final World Cup finals, captain Carlos Alberto Torres, Jairzinho, Tostao, Gerson and Rivelino. Even when Garrincha had left the team the team was an entity to reckon with. They were able to win every single game they played, including against Czechoslovakia, England and Romania in group play, as well as in the knockout rounds against Peru, Uruguay and Italy in knockout round. Jairzinho scored the third highest scorer , scoring seven goals, and was the only player who has scored in every match at the World Cup; Pele finished with four goals. Brazil won the Jules Rimet trophy for the third time (the first country to do this) this meant that they were permitted to keep the trophy. The trophy was replaced however it would take twenty-four years until Brazil took it back.
Following the retirement of Pele as well as other stars from the 1970 squad Brazil did not manage to beat the Netherlands in the 1974 World Cup in West Germany which ended in fourth position after losing the third-place game to Poland.
In the second stage during the 1978 World Cup, Brazil competed with hosts Argentina to win the top spot and an opportunity to play in the finals. In their final group game, Brazil defeated Poland 3-1 and advanced ahead of their group, with a the goal difference being 5. Argentina was a team with goals difference of 2 and in its final group match, it beat Peru by 6-0 and qualified for the final an event that was accused of unproven match fixing. Brazil then defeated Italy in the third-place play-off and became the only team unbeaten throughout the tournament.
In the 1982 World Cup, held in Spain, Brazil were the favorite to win the tournament. They progressed through the initial portion of the draw however, a 3-2 loss at the hands of Barcelona to Italy in an iconic World Cup match, eliminated Brazil from the tournament in the game they call "Sarria's disaster" which refers to its name. This 1982 squad, which included the midfield comprising Socrates, Zico, Falcao and Eder is regarded as the most prestigious team to never win the World Cup.
A number of players, including Socrates and Zico in 1982, returned to 1982's World Cup in Mexico. Brazil remains a excellent team, and more disciplined in defense than they were four years ago they faced Michel Platini's France in the quarterfinals of the classic game match of Total Football. The match was played to an 1-1 draw in the regulation time. Following an unproductive extra-time the game came down to a penalty shootout which Brazil lost 4-3. After a gap of 40 years, Brazil was victorious in the 1989 Copa America, this being their fourth win over four tournaments held in Brazil. The victory ended the 19-year drought without an Olympic title. The last time it was at the time of Brazil's 1970 World Cup.
In the 1990 World Cup in Italy, Brazil was coached by Sebastiao Lazaroni, who was also the coach for 1989's Copa America. With a defensive system with the main focus being midfielder Dunga and forward Careca and three centre-backs Brazil's squad was lacking in creativity, however they made it through in the next round. Brazil was eliminated by Diego Maradona's Argentina at the end of the 16th round in Turin defeating the South American archrivals 1-0.
Brazil was without for 24 years, never winning the World Cup or even participating in the final. Their troubles ended with the 1994 World Cup at Brazil in the United States, where a strong side, led by Romario and Bebeto in the attack and Captain Dunga in midfield as well as goal-keeper Claudio Taffarel and defender Jorginho took home their way to the World Cup for a then-record fourth time. Highlights of their run included a 1-0 win over their opponents in the United States in the round of 16 at Stanford University, a 3-2 victory against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals in Dallas and a 1-0 win against Sweden at the semi finals of the Pasadena's Rose Bowl. Brazil and Italy were set to meet to play in the championship game in Pasadena.
A match played in scorching heat that ended in an uncontested draw. Italy's defense led by Franco Baresi keeping out Romario The penalty kicks were looming as well, and Brazil were crowned champions, and Roberto Baggio missing Italy's last penalty. In spite of the victory that year, this team that won the 1994 World Cup winning team is not valued in the same respect in Brazil like their previous World Cup winning teams. FourFourTwo magazine called that group "unloved" within Brazil because of their defensive and pragmatic approach in contrast to the more traditional Brazilian approach to attacking.
When they entered the 1998 World Cup as defending champions, Brazil finished runner-up. They won their group, and then winning the following 2 rounds Brazil won against the Netherlands with penalties in the semi-final, following the draw of 1-1. The tournament's top player Ronaldo has scored 4 goals, and added three assists to reach the final. The run-up to the final was marred by Ronaldo having a convulsive episode just hours prior to kick-off. The team that was to be named without Ronaldo was revealed to a stunned world media and after the player pleaded that he felt well and was asked to play, Ronaldo was allowed to return by his coach, and then gave an unsatisfactory performance in the final as France with Zidane as their captain Zidane defeated the hosts 3-1.

There are many names for the Brazil nation's national soccer team has been known under a variety of names across the world. The nicknames of the team from Brazil are: Canarinho, meaning 'Little Canary', which refers to a bird species that is common in Brazil with a vibrant yellow hue, this term was popularized by famous cartoonist Fernando "Mangabeira" Pieruccetti during the 1950 World Cup; Amarelinha (Little Yellow One), Selecao (The National Squad) Verde-amarela (Green and yellow), Pentacampeao (Five-time Champions) in addition to Esquadrao in Ouro (The Golden Squad). Certain Latin American commentators often refer to the Brazil team as El Scratch (The Scratch) as well as other names.
Brazil's initial team colours were white with blue collars. However, following the loss at Maracana in 1950's World Cup, the colors were condemned for lack of patriotism. With the permission of the Brazilian Sports Confederation, the newspaper Correio da Manha held a competition to create a brand new kit that featured all four colours of the Brazilian flag. The winner included a yellow jersey, blue shorts in green and green trim with white trim, drawn by Aldyr Garca Schlee, a teenager from Pelotas. New colors were first worn in March 1954, in an international match against Chile and have been in use since then. Topper was the manufacturer of Brazil's kit until and including the game against Wales 11 September 1991. Umbro became the manufacturer prior to the next match, which was against Yugoslavia in the month of October. Nike began to produce Brazil kits just in time for World Cup 1998 World Cup.
The choice of white and blue as the secondary kit colors dates back to the disbanded latter-day Portuguese monarchy. It dates to the 1930s. However, it was adopted as the official second option accidentally during 1958's World Cup Final. The opponents for Brazil were Sweden and they also wore yellow. A draw granted the team from home, Sweden, the right to wear yellow. Brazil traveled without a second kit, quickly bought a pair of blue shirts, and then sewn onto them the badges that were removed from their yellow shirt.
