#2 Brazil
After a disappointing World Cup campaign on their home soil, the Selecaos will again try their luck to win their sixth world title. The team looks strong, determined and solid. Like their predecessors Ronaldo, Pele, Romario, this is the time for Neymar to showcase his string of abilities in the greatest stage of football. Neymar, who has recently made his comeback from an injury, has scored in both the friendlies against Croatia and Austria.
The world's most expensive player, who has also won the Ligue 1 Player of the Season award, will be hoping to end his blistering season on a high and nothing but winning a World Cup can ensure that.
Brazil, who lacked quality in their front line in 2014, has learned from their mistakes and Tite will be firing all his cylinders with Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino. Both the strikers have enjoyed a prolific season in England with their respective clubs. While Jesus netted 17 times for Manchester City's title-winning campaign, the Liverpool forward became UEFA Champions League's Top Scoring Debutant ever with 11 goals.
Coutinho, who has moved to Barcelona this winter, is well-known for his goalscoring abilities. Chelsea's Willian is another addition to the squad who will provide a great amount of attacking threat. Douglas Costa will also be looking forward to the World Cup after a great domestic season with Italian giants Juventus.
Brazil is the hot favourite to lift the title and with this forward line, we can expect a lot of goals from the South American outfit.
