Brazil Home World Cup 1994
The start of the Second Golden Era (1994–2002)
Brazil went 24 years without winning a World Cup or even participating in a final. Their struggles ended at the 1994 tournament in the United States, where a solid side headed by Romário and Bebeto in attack. Captain Dunga in midfield, goalkeeper Cláudio Taffarel and defender Jorginho. Brazil won the World Cup for a then-record fourth time. Highlights of their campaign included a 1–0 victory over the United States in the round of 16 at Stanford University. A 3–2 win over the Netherlands in the quarter-finals in Dallas. And a 1–0 victory over Sweden in the semi-finals at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl.
This set up Brazil–Italy in the final in Pasadena. A game played in searing heat which ended as a goalless draw, with Italy’s defence led by Franco Baresi keeping out Romário, penalty kicks loomed. Brazil became champions with Roberto Baggio missing Italy’s last penalty. Despite the triumph, the 1994 World Cup winning team is not held in the same high esteem in Brazil as their other World Cup winning teams. FourFourTwo magazine labelled the 1994 team “unloved” in Brazil due to their pragmatic, defensive style over the more typical Brazilian style of attacking flair.
