1. Brazil
Ad
Brazil edge past Spain as most people’s favourites because of their 3-0 demolition of La Furia Roja in the final of the Confederations Cup in June this year. They might have won the tournament a record five-times but lost in a heartbreaking manner to Uruguay at home in 1950. They will have extra motivation want to erase that memory.
La Seleccion have an array of talented attackers with the Neymar, Oscar, Lucas Moura, Hulk, etc doing tremendously for their clubs in Europe, while there is a lot of competition in defensive areas as European champion Dante is constantly putting pressure on David Luiz for a centre-back slot.
