Brazil is a nation that has reached the top pinnacle of football on numerous occasions.
Originally known for its 'Samba football' style, the Selecao were a truly formidable force, winning three out of four World Cups between 1958-70.
The South American country won football's biggest prize in 1994 and 2002 to make it a total of five World Cup crowns - a feat no other team has achieved.
Brazil have failed to emulate the same high standards since and although they made the semi-finals of the 2014 tournament which they hosted, they were knocked out with a humiliating 7-1 defeat at the hands of eventual winners Germany.
