Having qualified for the tournament every single time it's been held, Brazil hasn't been past the quarterfinals in the last two editions and that trend continued in 2019. The team has advanced to the knockout stage but finished third in Group C despite finishing the group stage with two wins and six points. The team was bounced in the round of 16, losing to host nation France, 2-1.
Brazilian star Marta missed the first game of the tournament with an injury, but she returned to the pitch in the team's second game and made history in the third. With her penalty kick goal against Italy, Marta became the all-time leading goal scorer in women's or men's World Cup history.

What to know
While Marta receives a lot of the attention, keep your eyes on Andressinha. Like Marta, she's a southerner who learned the game playing more futsal than anything else. It's evident in her touch, in her ball control and how it seems to stick to her foot. She's a masterful set-piece taker and has the ability to beat you one-on-one or take her chances from a distance. The Portland Thorns star will be tasked with finding Marta and Beatriz in the final third.
