😱Something is changing at World Cups for Brazil and Germany | OneFootball

For the first time in World Cup history, neither of the two will be among the eight best teams in the tournament.

Between them, they have won nine world titles. Brazil and Germany are possibly the two national teams that best symbolize the greatness of a World Cup.

As things stand today, that greatness seems like nothing more than a distant memory, especially in Germany’s case, as they have now gone three World Cups without reaching the round of 16. But now the statistic is even more incredible.

With Brazil’s elimination yesterday, this is the first time in World Cup history that there will be a round of 16 without either Germany or the five-time world champions.

Without a doubt, something is changing in the football landscape: the competition is getting tougher and the surprise factor is becoming more and more present.
