That’s the Brazil that drew Mexico and was awarded a gift penalty kick against Croatia? Okay.

I’m not sold on Brazil. If this WC was elsewhere they’d be in serious trouble. Chile won’t lay down for them and Colombia isn’t a slouch either.

Don't underestimate Brazil. They are playing at home and will get better as the tournament progresses. They are the big favorite to win it all. No team outside of South America has ever won the tournament when it was held in the Western Hemisphere.

Brazil is a lot like Italy when it comes to doing just enough to advance. This year, Italy just fell short.
