Brazil knocked out of 2026 World Cup following loss to Norway

Summary

Brazil has been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup after losing 2-1 to Norway in New Jersey. Despite entering the tournament with high expectations under coach Carlo Ancelotti, Brazil struggled to perform consistently. Bruno Guimaraes made history by becoming the first Brazilian player to miss a penalty in a World Cup match since 1986, failing to convert a first-half chance that could have changed the game's momentum. With another disappointing tournament concluded, Brazil must wait at least four years for another chance at a sixth title.
