Brazil says goodbye to the World Cup after losing to Norway

The Brazilian team ended its participation in the 2026 World Cup with a 2-1 defeat against Norway in the round of 16. The result extends the title drought for the five-time world champion.

Haaland decided the match

Erling Haaland was the great figure. The Manchester City forward scored a double in the last ten minutes of the game, enough to give Norway a historic pass to the quarterfinals. With seven goals in the tournament, Haaland establishes himself as one of the stars of the competition.

Brazil generated several clear opportunities, but without success. Bruno Guimarães missed a penalty in the first half, and Endrick wasted a one-on-one in the second half. Already in added time, Neymar converted a penalty, but the injury time only made up the score.

A blow for Ancelotti

The elimination represents a hard setback for Carlo Ancelotti, who directed his first major tournament as head of the Canarinha. The Italian strategist did not surpass what was done by Tite, who reached the quarterfinals in 2018 and 2022.

Message of the Confederation

Hours after the match, the Brazilian Football Confederation published a message on social networks:

“The history of the Brazilian National Team is made up of great achievements, but also of moments that strengthen our path. Today we say goodbye to the World Cup, sure that we will return even stronger. Thank you, Brazilian fans.”

Brazil still hasn’t lifted the title since 2002. Now the team focuses on the next international cycle.

France defeats Morocco and advances in the 2026 World Cup

France repeats victory over Morocco and advances to the semifinals of the 2026 World Cup.

France imposes its hierarchy against Morocco

France and Morocco met again in a World Cup, this time in the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup. The duel had unfinished business after the match in Qatar 2022, when the French eliminated the Moroccans in the semifinals. At Boston Stadium, Les Bleus won again 2-0 and advanced to the next round.

Didier Deschamps’ team came out determined from the start. In the first three minutes, they generated two dangerous approaches with a shot from Kylian Mbappé and a shot from Dayot Upamecano that did not find the goal. In the 17th minute, Ousmane Dembélé headed over the crossbar. The first half had a key moment at 28′, when Mbappé took a penalty, but Yassine Bono guessed the direction and saved the shot. Désiré Doué also tried his luck in the 34th minute with a powerful shot that again demanded Bono, Morocco’s figure in the first half.

The break came with French dominance, but without goals. Morocco improved in the complement, looking for spaces on the counterattack. However, at 59′, Mbappé changed history with a mid-range shot that made it 1-0. Six minutes later, Dembélé sealed the match with a shot into the back of the net, making it 2-0.

With this result, Morocco ends its participation in the 2026 World Cup, while France continues its path in search of a new title. Their next opponent will be the winner of the duel between Spain and Belgium.
