Foden and the Brummie McTummyknee will be fearing for their England spot after watching Gnomes run the show tonight.

Looks like another tasty title race in store in the Brasileirão.

24-25 games in, and Botafogo - who had led for most of the championship thus far - are top again, having beaten Fortaleza 2-0 last time out. Fortaleza had only just taken top spot off Botafogo, so that was a pretty timely meeting.

Fortaleza can reclaim top spot, however, if they win their game in hand, which is away to Internacional tonight.

Palmeiras, meantime, are lurking in third just 3 points off Botafogo, with Flamengo (who have a game in hand) are 3 points further back.

No team from Fortaleza - the capital of Brazil's tropical northern state of Ceará - has ever won a major national or international title. They came close last year, losing the Copa Sudamericana final on penalties to LDU Quito. They're in the Sudamericana again this season, where they're scheduled to meet Corinthians in the quarter finals.

The city of Fortaleza itself is famed for having some of the best city beaches in the entire country.

Four losses in the last five WC qualifiers for Brazil

posted on 11/9/24

I’d be surprised if that’s the ever happened in their history before.

In fairness, this streak has actually occurred either side of the Copa America and several friendlies.

I've taken a quick look at their entire history of results (it's much easier than it sounds, tbh), and along with a few 3-in-5s and 4-in-6s, they've also somewhat surprisingly had similar L4-W1 streaks before, albeit not in World Cup qualifiers.

The L4-W1s include one in the South American Championships of 1920 & 1921 (the earlier version of the Copa America), albeit all 4 defeats were against either Uruguay or Argentina.

Another one back in 1940, also all against Argentina and Uruguay, in a series of regional cup tournaments I'd never heard of ("Copa Julio Argentino Roca" and "Copa Rio Branco".

Interestingly enough, their worst ever 5-game streak of the 20th century came just a year after they'd successfully defended the World Cup in 1962. They went 4L-1D across the 1963 Copa America and one of those Copa Roca games. Interestingly too, this streak also featured defeats to Paraguay and Ecuador, and a tie against Bolivia.

That was also part of a longer 8-game streak in which they lost 6 and won only 1.

You might also be interested to know that their longest ever winless streak spanned 7 games between 1983 and 1984, albeit only two of them were defeats - one of them a 0-2 loss to England in a friendly played at the Maracanã.

As far as I could see, the only time they've actually lost 4 straight was in 2001, across WCQ, Copa America and Confederations Cup.

All four of those defeats came at the tail-end of a 6-game winless streak, and an overall streak of just 1 win in 10 games, which is arguably their worst in history if you consider of the level of opposition. The only win came in a Confeds Cup game against Cameroon, and the streak included defeats to Ecuador, Australia and Mexico (among others) and draws against Canada, Japan and Peru. All of the matches were in official tournaments, with the exception of the game that kickstarted the streak, a 3-3 tie in a friendly against Mexico.

The final game of the streak was a 1-0 Copa America defeat to Mexico. The streak was broken by Copa America wins against Paraguay, although they followed those up by crashing out of that edition of the Copa in a humiliating 2-0 defeat to Honduras.

Quite crazy to think that less than a year later they lifted their 5th and to date last World Cup.


(Incidentally, I have know found out the Copa Roca was a trophy help intermittently between Brazil and Argentina between the 1910s and 1970, and revived in the 2010s as the currently also discontinued Superclásico de las Américas.)



I hope someone's interested in that ultimately pointless information, as it took me a hell of a lot longer to write that than it did to research it.

Grate work, thanks for posting that. Surprisingly they’ve had this winless streaks you’ve posted. Even more surprising is that some of them were around times when they were obviously brilliant.

Awww

We all rooting for Fortaleza this year then?

I'm in two minds, as Botafogo has to be one of the coolest big club name anywhere in the world.

Not quite at the level of Chicken Inn, Prison Leopards, Uncle T United or Mysterious Dwarfs, but the African leagues are a different gravy.
