THE world’s number one team will fancy their chances at the group stage.
It will not be easy because they are facing very stiff European competition and a good Cameron side, representing Africa.
Serbia and Switzerland were both group winners and came out over the very strong Portugal and Italy. So, they are no pushovers and Brazil are in a very tough group.
Neymar’s Brazil will have a very good chance to top the group, after all, they are the number one side in the World, but they need to be their best and must start with a win in order to ease the nerves. Below we can see all the matches and times for this group. Brazil start with Serbia and this will be an entertaining contest. Serbia are a very good side with great attacking potential and a never die attitude.
