Since losing to Germany in 2014, Brazil have rebuilt their national team under the new coach and could become the first team to qualify for the World Cup in the next few weeks.

The 7-1 defeat, which equalled Brazil’s biggest-ever margin of defeat, has become colloquially known as the Mineirazo.

It ranks alongside the country’s surprise 1950 World Cup final defeat to Uruguary on home soil, known as the Maracanazo, as the national team’s greatest humiliation.
