Their non-stop sequence of victories has lasted for eight matches already. It all started in Ulsan 1,471 days ago, when they won 2-1 over Turkey, and last Tuesday placed a milestone by defeating Croacia 1-0. No other team had conquered so many victories in a row in the FIFA World Cup as Brazil.
The match was not one of those to be remembered, notwithstanding, it was enough for Kaká to make a difference. Brazil is now a goal over France, which held the previous record for World Cups. The French could not increase their score against Switzerland, what leaves them in the second position.
The Brazilian team is already dreaming about finishing the championship in Berlin next July 9. If they reach that stage, their continuous victories will have grown considerably, Ronaldo may turn into the best scorer in the history of the FIFA World Cup, and Cafu would be the one with more World Cup matches played. Many records to be expected and to motivate Parreira’s crew to take the Cup home.
