Talk:Brazil national football team

Record

In the article Spain national football team, it is said they hold the record of 35 consecutive matches undefeated. Doesn't Brazil hold the record too, when in 90's they got 35 without losing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.58.125.212 (talk) 23:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Yeah, you are correct. You can check this reliable source. --Carioca (talk) 23:50, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Biggest win

I just found out that Brazil-Nicaragua 14-0 (October 17, 1975) does not appears on RSSSF List of Brazil "A" Matches and not even on FIFA's list of Brazil's matches. That 14-0 win was in the 1975 Pan American Games and the article mentioned that Brazil send their Olympic team. In this era only non-professional players or youth players are allowed to participate in the Olympics, hence this imply that Brazil actually sent their amateur team to the Pan American Games. Does the biggest win need to be changed with the official match that are recognized by FIFA? I found a 10-1 win over Bolivia in 1949 and 9-0 win over Colombia in 1957 which are South American Championship matches and are listed by both FIFA and RSSF. - Martin tamb (talk) 05:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

It is better to keep the game against Nicaragua as Brazil's biggest win, as a very reliable source, which is the book Seleção Brasileira 1914-2006 (authors: Antônio Carlos Napoleão and Roberto Assaf) says in the page 72 that this game was Brazil's biggest win. However, a note can be added regarding the point raised by you. Hope that helps. --Carioca (talk) 20:17, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I did not aware about the book, it seems to be a very reliable source, I guess it's better to leave the Nicaragua win there. I'll see what I can do about the notes, but I don't want to clutter the infobox with too much information. Thanks. - Martin tamb (talk) 01:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Article size

This page is 102 kilobytes long. Perhaps we should move the history section to a separate article. The history section could be moved to a new article named History of the Brazil national football team. --Carioca (talk) 20:41, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree, history section has too many information. That can be transferred with the article noted above, and we can left a summary of it. This will also help to meet FA status. Tanvir 07:22, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
