Brazil v Germany (2014 FIFA World Cup) in an international match. Ultimately, the match was described as a national humiliation. The game has subsequently been dubbed the Mineirazo (Mineiraço , "Agony of Mineirão"), evoking a previous "spirit of national shame" known as the "Maracanazo" ("Maracanaço") in which Brazil unexpectedly lost the 1950 FIFA World Cup on home soil to Uruguay. Brazil subsequently lost the third place playoff to the Netherlands, and Germany went on to win the World Cup for the fourth time after defeating Argentina in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final. Brazil was hosting the FIFA World Cup for the second time (after 1950), and
FIFA World Cup hosts geographically to host the World Cup. Qatar was selected to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, making it the first time a World Cup will be held in the Arab World and the second time in Asia since the 2002 tournament in South Korea and Japan. Also, the decision made it the smallest country geographically to host the World Cup. Bids: Under FIFA rules as of 2016, the 2026 Cup could not be in either Europe (UEFA) or Asia (AFC), leaving an African (CAF) bid, a North American (CONCACAF) bid, a South American (CONMEBOL) bid or an Oceanian (OFC) bid
