#3 Brazil looks like a more rejuvenated unit
It has been a tough few years for Brazil football. Brazilian fans’ have been used to years of dominating international football but since their 2010 World Cup loss to Netherlands in the quarters. In their quest of winning the 6th World Cup title, Brazil suffered a humiliating 7-1 loss in the semis of their home World Cup.
The Canarinho’s didn’t have much luck in the Copa’s either, getting knocked out in 2015 Copa America and as early as group stages of Copa America Centenario. Brazilian football looked down and out till a month back. In the last month, they managed to win their first-ever Olympic Gold, and being an Olympic gold medalist has certainly given Neymar and the rest to up their game a level or two.
Brazil was languishing outside automatic qualification places at the start of international break, but with wins over Ecuador and Colombia, the Canarinho’s are a point away from pole position. Brazil registered a 2-1 win over Colombia and a convincing 3-0 win against Ecuador. Brazil is certainly on their way to revival.
