I agree. Brazil hosted it in 1950, and lost in the final to Uruguay, and of course they've won it in other years. :)

It was on Marakana, which wasn't completely finished yet, but they still played there in front of 200.000 people! Brazil was leading 1-0 and when they lost, number of people at the stadium commited suicide (I think 11 of them shot themselves and there were others aswell)...
