This article seeks (1) to present antithetical narratives about Brazil’s national football team published by newspaper Folha de S. Paulo when the team won the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and was eliminated in the semi-finals of 2014 FIFA World Cup and (2) to point out the structuring mechanism through which those narratives are presented in the social world. Therefore, the text has three parts. In the early sections we pursue the first objective while in the third part we argue that social effectiveness of sports narratives is built through two relational strategies – recognition and stigma – which partly explain the plot in which journalistic accounts about Brazil’s national football team take it to “heaven” or “hell”, while feeding back into the country’s system of football beliefs.
