International Friendlies: Germany 0-1 Brazil, 5 Talking Points

#1 Do Brazil become clear World Cup favourites if you Add Neymar to the equation?

The terrific trio could wreak havoc in Russia

Yes, last night's game was just an international friendly. Yes, it was one that meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. Yes, it doesn't necessarily reflect either side's chances at the World Cup.

Regardless, it involved Brazil and Germany - Two of the most widely supported footballing sides in the world, two superpowers, two World Cup favourites, and it was always going to be exciting to see how they were shaping up for world football's greatest event.

The final scoreline may not paint the brightest picture, but Brazil were certainly the better side, especially in the second half, as the Selecao dazzled the Germans with some top-notch football.

Which makes you wonder - They just beat Germany, and they looked comfortable doing it. Now, if they can do that in the absence of Neymar, their best player - You know you'd be lying if you said he isn't - the mere thought of the kind of carnage that we can expect to see once the world's most expensive footballer returns, sends shivers down spines.

Add Neymar to the mix, and who could possibly stop them? Are the Selecao destined to lift the most coveted trophy in world football, come July?
