Brazil’s run at the FIFA World Cup 2014 finished with a memorable 7-1 defeat at the hands of Germany in the semifinal. When the five-time World Cup-winning team step down to compete in Russia, they will be eager to forget the horrors of the previous tournament and start afresh on a winning note. Brazil is a good team but they somehow end up losing on big stages.
Brazil could have even better players in the team, with some of the big names, who were born in the South American country, playing for other countries.
Here is a list of 5 players who were born in Brazil but never got a chance to represent their country:
1. Pepe – Brazil to Portugal
2. Diego Costa – Brazil to Spain
3. Thiago Motta – Brazil to Italy
4. Cacau – Brazil to Germany
5. Deco – Brazil to Portugal
