The Brazil side that won the 1994 World Cup was unlike any of the nation’s other four title-winning teams.
Whereas the squads of 1958, 1970 and 2002 were built on flair, attacking intent and the iconic samba style, the 1994 team instead relied mostly on tactical discipline, defensive solidity and sheer grit. There were flashes of the trademark Jogo Bonito in the final third, but overall it was a far more pragmatic approach than what Brazilian fans had come to expect.
