"England have met Brazil on four previous occasions at the FIFA World Cup, and have failed to win each time. The South Americans have tasted victory in three of the four meetings, the latest in 2002, en route to a record fifth World Cup title in South Korea and Japan. Brazil also defeated the Three Lions in 1970 and at the quarter-final stage of the 1962 Finals in Chile. The only time England have avoided defeat against the Selecao was in 1958 - a 0-0 draw in Gothenburg, a game in which Bobby Robson, Billy Wright and Johnny Haynes all starred."
"Brazil fans recreate the nation's iconic World Cup moments. There is a nod to Carlos Alberto's rasping effort against Italy in 1970, Edmilson's bicycle kick goal versus Costa Rica in 2002, Claudio Taffarel's saves and Roberto Baggio's missed spot-kick in the 1994 Final. In addition to those trips down memory lane, the beer brand has chosen Ronaldinho's audacious lob on England goalkeeper David Seaman as one of the scenes for re-enactment in the ad."
"The Three Lions' quarter-final exit, courtesy of Ronaldinho's free-kick, remains one of the Golden Generation's most agonising nearly moments, considering Michael Owen had given England the lead in that particular game, and Sven Goran Eriksson's side played against 10 men for the final 33 minutes. Brahma's ad also features cameos from Brazil icon Ronaldo, previously the top scorer in World Cup history, as well as national team boss Carlo Ancelotti, who instructs supporters to 'believe'."
England have faced Brazil four times at the FIFA World Cup and have not won any of those matches. Brazil won three of the four meetings, including the latest victory in 2002 on the way to a record fifth title. Brazil also beat England in 1970 and at the quarter-final stage of 1962. England avoided defeat only once, in 1958, when the teams drew 0-0 in Gothenburg with Bobby Robson, Billy Wright, and Johnny Haynes playing. A Brahma advert promotes Brazilian beer by recreating iconic World Cup moments, including Carlos Alberto’s 1970 effort, Edmilson’s 2002 bicycle kick, and Ronaldinho’s lob over David Seaman. The ad includes cameos from Ronaldo and Carlo Ancelotti, who tells supporters to “believe.”
