FIFA+: World Cup archive & programmes FREE on DAZN
Brazil have been responsible for some of the most iconic moments in history and there probably isn't a nation more linked to the tournament than the five-time winners.
But for all the brilliance from Pele, Ronaldo and Romario, there was also the 8th July 2014, a day Brazilian football wishes they could erase from their World Cup story.
It was a World Cup on home soil, a tournament destined to be won by the Selecao, led by the mercurial Neymar, but it imploded it the worst possible way.
A semi-final against Germany was always going to be tough, especially without their injured talisman, but what happened stunned a nation and sent shockwaves through the game.
In a game known as Mineiraço (after the stadium) in Brazil, they were hit for SEVEN in what was a national humiliation and one the most infamous defeats in World Cup football.
