Seleçao: Rulling Football World since 1914

🚨JUST IN: FIFA updates the national team rankings in real time during the World Cup.

🇧🇷 Brazil has moved up one spot to 5th place.

Bruno Guimarães 🪄🎩

Norway's Head Coach, Ståle Solbakken, gave a speech after the qualification and took the chance to send a direct message to Carlo Ancelotti.

🇧🇷 Brazil's Planned Penalty Takers

If Brazil's match against Japan had gone to a penalty shootout, the planned order was expected to be:

• Neymar Jr.
• Igor Thiago
• Endrick
• Bruno Guimarães
• Gabriel Martinelli

Vini Jr. has also been training penalties and could be used if needed, although he is not considered a specialist.

According to the coaching staff, this plan is expected to remain in place for a potential shootout against Norway on July 5 in East Rutherford, as well as in later stages of the World Cup.

Romário praises Vinícius Júnior after his World Cup performances, admitting the Brazilian star proved him wrong.

🇧🇷 | Rayan’s form in 2026 is ridiculous.

Still unbeaten this year, with his influence growing game after game. The future is bright. 🇧🇷🌟

🇧🇷🇳🇴 Norway is the only country Brazil has never beaten in men's international football.

The two nations have met four times three friendlies and once at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

H2H Record:
• 🇳🇴 Norway wins: 2
• 🤝 Draws: 2
• 🇧🇷 Brazil wins: 0

Brazil has defeated every other nation it has ever faced but not Norway.

Now, the two teams meet again in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16.

Can Brazil finally break the curse? 🇧🇷👀

With Paqueta's absence, who do you think should step up and fill the role for Brazil?

Haaland says Norway has "small possibilities" of eliminating Brazil in the World Cup:

"Small possibilities. Playing against Brazil in the round of 16 is something we'll have to face."

"Now we're heading to the round of 16, there will be excellent teams and it won't be easy. It will be tough to advance. It won't be easy, I don't know if we'll manage it. We've prepared a lot and we're still very well prepared."

🚨 The medical department understands that the thigh injury is not simple. In the best-case scenario, Lucas Paquetá might only return for a potential World Cup final. 🇧🇷

Brazil are already down to just five available midfielders, and if Casemiro picks up another yellow card, that number drops to four for the quarter-finals.

With the knockout stage becoming more demanding, every booking and every injury could have a huge impact on Carlo Ancelotti's options. The margin for error in midfield is getting dangerously thin. 🇧🇷⚠️
