Minor correction - Brazil have two of the last five.
Still, while it might be the same old countries, none of the
players left in the tournament have won much at international level. The most recent major trophy out of the five remaining teams was the 2007 Copa America, won by Brazil with Robinho as their leading scorer; the only returning players are Fred, Maicon, and Dani Alves. Set Brazil aside and the most recent was Euro 96.
