Carlo Ancelotti, the head coach of Brazil, admitted during an interview with ESPN that his tactical decisions during a hydration break in a 2026 FIFA World Cup match against Norway may have contributed to Brazil's defeat.

These changes allowed Norway to capitalize, particularly through Erling Haaland's decisive goal, which ended Brazil's World Cup campaign. Ancelotti took full responsibility for the loss, acknowledging that his decisions during the hydration break were costly.
