Explained in plain English

When did Brazil last win?

Brazil, the most successful team in World Cup history, last lifted the trophy in 2002. That year, they beat Germany 2-0 in the final, with legendary striker Ronaldo scoring both goals. Since then, despite often being among the favourites, they haven't managed to add to their record five titles, something Cristiano Ronaldo would love to achieve with Portugal.
