The article presents an analysis of L'Équipe newspaper narratives about Brazilian soccer at the 1958 and 1998 World Cups. We started from the hypothesis that it was from the performance of the Brazilian team at the World Cup in France, in 1938, and from the “look” of the French press on Brazilian soccer that the ideas of anthropologist Gilberto Freyre and journalist Mario Filho, that Brazilian soccer would be more artistic, consolidated in the country. It is assumed that the French, in general, looked at Brazil as an exotic country, with all the “positive” and “negative” stereotypes that permeate this view. Would these stereotypes continue to appear in the French press at the 1958 and 1998 Cups?
