Brazil
Brazil began this competition as the favourites to lift the World Cup for the sixth time but their start hasn't been a start that is worthy of a championship winning side. Brazil drew its opening match against Switzerland but managed an injury-time victory in the second game.
Brazil didn't have a great start to its World Cup campaign but the way they bounced back in the second game they have probably gained some confidence and that confidence was on clear display in their final match where the team looked brilliant.
The Brazilian flair was back in the final group match and now one can expect the team to go all the way if they manage to overcome the threat of Belgium in the quarterfinals.
