Last saturday, mars 6th, the Armando Nogueira Auditorium hosted the second edition 
of Brasil nas Copas (Brazil in the FIFA World Cups), a series of debates about the Brazilian participation in WCs, organized by the Football Museum and Memofut - The Group for Literature and Memory of Football.
of Brasil nas Copas (Brazil in the FIFA World Cups), a series of debates about the Brazilian participation in WCs, organized by the Football Museum and Memofut - The Group for Literature and Memory of Football.The journalists Roberto Muylaert and Geneton Moraes Neto talked, for two hours, about the World Cups of 1950 and 1954 - and about the "stray complex", created by Nelson Rodrigues. Geneton, born in 1956, spoke about what he didn't see; Muylaert watched the matches in loco in Maracanã and Berna.
The first talked about stories of players that, soon after playing for the Brazilian Team in the megalomaniac Brazil x Uruguay, went home on train and... sitting on the floor (like Zizinho), because there was no place anymore. And Friaça, the scorer of the Brazilian (vain) goal, that went to the São Januário Stadium, where he roamed until he became aware he was under a jackfuit tree, in the city of Nova Iguaçu. Muylaert, eyewitness of the "Berna Battle", in 1954, spoke on hungarians, that entered the field, strangely, with sweat t-shirts (an innovation called "heating").

From july 16th, 1950, in Maracanã, Muylaert told that he met, then, for the first time his future wife - they're still married, today. The Brazilian Team lost the Cup but they won, that day (unawaring) the greatest conquest of their lives.
