The five-time champions are expected to progress to the knockouts of the competition despite this being a more than competitive group.
It is their quality, in-form players, ability to turn on the Samba style of football which are reasons for the high expectations from Tite’s men.
Trust Brazil to step up when required as the nation will be backing their boys to go all the way.
Brazil’s the powerhouse of football and the crowd will be hoping that the nation delivers and gets back the crown after 2 decades.
