Brazil is a nation known for its passionate love of football, and the national team has been a source of immense pride since its first appearance in the FIFA World Cup in 1930. The Brazilian side has had an impressive record over the years, but one feat stands out above all others: they are the only team to have achieved 100% success rate in World Cups. This remarkable statistic was achieved between 1958 and 1970 when Brazil won three consecutive World Cups. This feat is even more impressive when you consider that during this period, teams were only allowed to enter one squad per tournament. During this time, Brazil boasted some of their most iconic players including Garrincha, Pele and Carlos Alberto. The first victory came in 1958 when Brazil beat Sweden 5-2 in the final match at Stockholm’s Rasunda Stadium. Two years later they successfully defended their title by beating Czechoslovakia 3-1 at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid. In 1970 they sealed their third successive win with a 4-1 victory over Italy at Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium. It was also during this tournament that Pele scored his 1,000th goal – an incredible achievement which cemented his status as one of football’s greatest ever players. Since then no other nation has managed to replicate this feat; indeed it may never be done again given the increased competition from other nations who have emerged as major forces on the world stage since then such as Germany and Spain. As such, it is safe to say that Brazil will remain the only country with 100% success rate at World Cups for many years to come – a testament to their unparalleled skill and commitment on the pitch throughout history.
