Best Result
Brazil are the most decorated nation in World Cup history with five titles, a record 22 appearances, and a record 76 wins. From Pelé's 1958 and 1962 triumphs to Ronaldo's 2002 masterpiece, Brazil have produced the most magical moments in tournament history. The painful 1–7 loss to Germany on home soil in 2014 remains a national trauma.
