Brasil (Group A) 2014 World Cup Host

Brazil is the only nation that have taken part in every edition of FIFA World Cup since 1930. Besides winning the title for five time, Brazil finished second twice in 1950 and 1998 (Oh I remember how France beat Brazil in 1998 edition, and it was fun as I was hoping for France to win over Brazil in the final).

Brazil will meet Croatia in its first game for Group A; scheduled on 12 June 2014 5.00 pm local time/4.00 am Kuala Lumpur time. Followed by the matches with Mexico and Cameroon.

Without any doubt, Neymar is named as the man capable of making impacts for Brazil national team. He is identified as one of Brazil's key players, of course with the hope that he will be able to help Brazil to further themselves to final and win the 6th title.

Good luck Brazil!
