There was nothing unlucky about Brazil's loss to Norway in the last 16 of the World Cup and their exit at this stage is an unmitigated disaster, writes Tim Vickery.
The Guardian FootballErling Haaland hails ‘one of the sickest days’ in Norway’s history after beating Brazil
Coach calls it ‘greatest day’ in country’s football history Neymar appears to announce Brazil retirement Ståle Solbakken called it “the greatest day in Norwegian football history” while Erling Haaland labelled it one of “the sickest”. One thing is for certain, however: Norway are through to the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time after deservedly beating Brazil . A late double from Haaland decided the contest, with the final score 2-1, and immediately caused chaos back home. Tens of thousands took to the streets of Oslo in the early hours to celebrate, including an impromptu gathering at the royal palace, where fans were greeted by Crown Prince Haakon, who was wearing a Norway scarf.

The Guardian FootballHaaland’s heroic double stuns Brazil and sends Norway into World Cup quarter-finals
We’re going to need a bigger longboat. Norway are into the quarter-finals of the World Cup for the first time, progressing thanks to the man whose smile, and choice in cowboy apparel, has charmed the US. Erling Haaland delivered again for his country, scoring two goals in the last 10 minutes – his sixth and seventh of the tournament – to send Brazil home and keep the Viking invasion rolling on. The result is a massive vindication for Ståle Solbakken and the team he has built over the past half decade. Norway set out to dominate Brazil in the first half, without much in the way of success. A double substitution at half-time changed all that, with Norway able to carve open a Brazil side who had their chances but failed to take them. Continue reading...

The Guardian Football‘An incredible man’: how Carlo Ancelotti has turned Brazil into potential World Cup winners
Italian’s man-management and decisiveness has shielded the talented Seleção squad and made fans believe again Brazil arrived at the World Cup with several open wounds. Since Qatar in 2022 there were four changes of manager, 95 players called up and a political crisis, including the ousting of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) president. It has been a big mess, with many uncertainties, and the mood among the fans was one of pessimism. But then Carlo Ancelotti arrived . Gradually under the Italian, the team has taken shape and transformed its relationship with fans, who are again dreaming of a sixth World Cup after 24 years without one, the longest such drought along with the period between 1970 and 1994.

ESPN🤔 Has Brazil really lost its World Cup aura?
Brazil used to be synonymous with the World Cup, adored for the way they played as much as for winning more than any other team. Have they lost that magic?
The Guardian FootballNorway have finally lived up to World Cup billing – a reunion with Brazil is perfect timing | Lars Sivertsen
Ståle Solbakken’s side have surpassed previous golden generation as they prepare to meet team they beat in 1998 For a country of 5.6 million people, Norway’s list of competitive achievements is remarkable. Our Winter Olympians gobble up medals at a freakish rate, our women’s handball team is all-conquering, we’ve had standout successes in athletics such as the Ingebrigtsen brothers, we’ve had two tournament winners on this season’s PGA tour and, improbably, Norway has also produced the greatest chess player of all time. And while these successes are cherished and celebrated, nothing unites the country quite like football – and no match has stopped the country in its tracks quite like the 2-1 win against Brazil in the final group game of the 1998 World Cup. The sound of commentator Arne Scheie announcing “ Vi har scoret i Marseille !” (“We have scored in Marseille!”) is as firmly etched into our brains as much as anything said by Norwegian poets and politicians in the last 50 years. Scheie was already something of a national treasure, a commentator known for his level-headedness and factual rigour, but when Norway won a late penalty with the score 1-1 he lost the run of himself entirely. He referred to the penalty taker, the Hertha Berlin midfielder Kjetil Rekdal as “Kjetil Reknett, of Werder Bremen” (Reknett is not a surname in Norwegian or, as far as I am aware, any other language).

The Guardian FootballWho did it best? USA 1994 versus World Cup 2026 – then and now
From the hairstyles to the stadiums, the kits to the celebrations, we take a look at the changing face of the game. Tap on the images below to fade between the visuals It’s 32 years since Diego Maradona went berserk down the barrel of a TV camera after scoring for Argentina; since Bebeto rocked an imaginary baby to sleep; since Roberto Baggio blazed his spot-kick into orbit (the tournament’s second worst penalty after Diana Ross’s blooper during the opening ceremony); since Carlos Valderrama wowed the world with his luscious blonde mop. The visuals from the World Cup in 1994 were rich and cinematic, but does the beautiful game look that different on its return to the United States? Has football lost its style and soul? Or will this year’s tournament live just as long in the memory as its predecessor? Continue reading...

The Guardian FootballBrazil fans were waiting for Vinícius Júnior to be their hero. He’s arrived
Vini Jr has been a star at Real Madrid for a long time. Now he is truly delivering for his country at a World Cup “I’m so happy to see you happy. Living a dream. It’s Brazil,” wrote Vinícius Júnior on Instagram after Brazil’s 3-0 win against Scotland . In the accompanying photograph he was holding his arms open – in the style of his Real Madrid teammate Jude Bellingham. When Bellingham pulled out that pose after scoring for England at Euro 2024, he famously shouted: “ Who else? ” When Vinícius found the net it felt more like he was saying: “I’ve arrived.” It took a while. Vinícius won his first cap in a 1-0 friendly defeat by Peru in 2019 and was mostly on the bench when Brazil hosted the Copa América in 2021. He didn’t score his first international goal until his 19th appearance – a 4-0 thrashing of Chile in a World Cup qualifier in 2022. By the time the World Cup kicked off in Qatar later that year, he had added clinical finishing to his speed and there were greater expectations. Continue reading...
