Brazil’s World Cup exit raises a question: are they more a brand than a team?

Brazil's early exit from the World Cup has sparked a broader debate about the team's identity beyond just football. Historically, Brazil's football teams have been synonymous with flair and creativity, but this tournament revealed a more vulnerable side. Fans are now questioning whether Brazil's national team has become more of a brand than a cohesive unit, as the familiar flair and dominance seem to have faded. This loss, coming so early, underscores a shift that could reshape how Brazil is viewed in international football.
