Ancelotti: Brazil's World Cup exit happened during Norway hydration break
Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti stated that the squad "lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup during the hydration break" in the second half of their Round of 16 clash with Norway. He acknowledged that he wrongly believed Brazil held the advantage at that point, which led him to adjust the lineup. He noted, "Then we had the problem with Erling Haaland's goal." Haaland managed to score twice against Brazil during the match.
