JAKARTA - With the status as the favorite team to win the 2022 World Cup, there is data that strengthens the Brazilian national team to make it happen. This is about the fact that no team has been able to wipe out three group stage matches this year.
Quoted from Marca on Sunday, December 4, Brazil, France and Portugal were the three teams that won in the first two group stage matches but then lost in the last match.
The record is the fourth time in the World Cup, where no team has won the perfect points in the group stage. A similar situation has happened at the 1958 World Cup (Sweden), 1962 (Chile), and 1994 (United States).
Interestingly, from every edition of the World Cup that has such a record, Brazil has always managed to come out as champions.
In Sweden in 1958, then the then-backed Brazil Pele advanced to the quarter-finals with two wins and one draw, then beating Wales, France and hosts in a row.
Four years later at the 1996 Chile World Cup, they advanced with the same record before beating England, the home team and the Czechs.
In 1994 in the United States, Brazil successfully won their fourth gold trophy thanks to a dramatic victory over Italy. At that time they had to fight until the penalty shootout to beat Italy with a final score of 3-2 (0-0 after normal time and extra time).
If the three histories above continue this year, the Brazilian national team will certainly smile because there is a possibility that they will win the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Tite's Brazil national team actually had a great chance of closing the 2022 World Cup group stage with a perfect collection of points, 9. But the 0-1 loss to Cameroon on the final matchday of Group G of the 2022 World Cup brought that hope to all else.
Furthermore, the Brazilian national team will face South Korea in the last 16 of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. This match will take place at the 974 Stadium on Tuesday, December 6 in the morning WIB.
