The FIFA World Cup is widely considered as the biggest event in football. With less than 6 months to go, several sides are already being touted among the favorites to write history. Although a World Cup is never predictable, you can always make an analysis. Here I am to analyse the fate of the five times champions and the most successful team in this competition, Brazil.
After getting crushed by a scoreline of 7-1 against Germany in the 2014 World Cup, many thought that the Selecao would never recover in time for 2018. And these critics were not far from being right, if not for Adenor Bacchi taking charge of the national team in 2016.
Brazil suffered two more major blows after 2014 with a quarter final exit from Copa America in 2015 and a shameful exit in the group stage from the Centenario edition in 2016. But then a young generation inspired the country to triumph in the Olympic Games for the first time in history. And ever since, the national team has been the best of South America.
The Brazilian team is experienced and relies on players who have already proven themselves at top levels such as Dani Alves, Marcelo and Neymar. Meanwhile, the midfield looks to be at its finest since a long time with the likes of Carlos Henrique Casemiro and Paulinho. Also not to forget big stars like Fernandinho and Philippe Coutinho. The attacking line too has been as good as ever.
There is no doubt that Brazil is the best team in South America at the moment, but it remains to be seen how they will cope up against the best European defenses.

Recently the Pele backed the Tite’s Brazil team to win 6th World Cup Trophy.
"One of the good things that happened was the arrival of Tite, he's making a team," Pele added. “In the last World Cup we had the best players in the world but the team was dis organised. It seems that now we'll have a team and a Selecao that gives us confidence."
Brazil team look like a disaster even for the strongest defense in the world. Every world cup they start with great stars and this time the current form of Neymar (PSG), Roberto Firmino (Liv.), Gabriel Jesus (Man. City), Willian (Chelsea), Philip Coutinho (Barca), Paulinho (Barca), Fernandinho (Man. City) might have started giving nightmares to the defenders!
