This was the reason they bid to host the tournament in the first place. The sunshine yellow shirts. The hands on hearts for the national anthem. The smiling, face-painted supporters waving for the cameras in an air-conditioned enorm-o-dome in the edge of a desert. All those archive shots of Pele and company tearing everybody apart, more than half a century ago.
And then, of course, there’s the burden of expectation. That can do funny things to a team, all the more so given that it’s now been two full decades since they last won it.

For an hour, they worked hard and reaped the modest reward of keeping the score goalless. In the first half, Brazil were largely kept at bay. If anything, they looked somewhat disjointed. One clear sight at goal with which Raphinha aimed directly at the goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic was not much of a return on investment for Brazil’s first-half exertions.
