Brazil was eliminated in the quarter-finals for the second time in a row against the eventual runner-up and can no longer claim to have won the title at least once on every continent where the World Cup finals took place. National coach Dunga , who was blamed for the premature end, resigned after the World Cup and was replaced by Mano Menezes .
