Many experts believe Brazil to be among the favorites.But weren't they supposed to be among favorites last time too at home in 2014 only to be humiliated to a 7-1 drubbing at the hands of ultimate Champs Germany in the semis?In fact they were lucky to have traversed to semis even as they were more hype than substance .On hindsight it might have been a blessing is disguise had they lost earlier!So Brazil must be careful already carrying the cross of the home venue humiliation not to accentuate the wounds further due to hype and some overambitious strategy.Thus adopting more measured approach at the start to build up gradually will be wiser approach for them.Brazil must remember that any further such last time like disaster could have a long term impact on the side supposed to be playing beautiful football.The Swiss are no pushovers and the Serbians too could be dangerous.So caution should be the watchword for the samba dancers in the pool matches.
