Brazil falls crushed at the feet of a giant Haaland

A streak of 24 years that will extend to 28. Brazil will continue to ask themselves questions, trying to figure out when they lost their magic and joy. 24 years without winning the World Cup. And it will be 28, as in New York, the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti has been eliminated in the round of 16 against a Norway that touches the sky thanks to two goals from Haaland. The first when it seemed the match would go to extra time, 10 minutes from the end. The Manchester City forward rose between two defenders and his header, as powerful as a hammer blow from a Viking deity, allowed Norway to open the path that led them to the quarter-finals for the first time (1-2).
