Russia 2018: Group E holds other World Cup favourites – ‘The Samba Boys’

Their other of the elite six I would say, who can go all the way to the end of this World Cup campaign. However, the Selecao have a challenging group to reach their goal.

Five time champions, Brazil search for emancipation after their previous showing on home soil, where football is not taught, but where you born with it, eat it, drink it, and sleep in it – all Brazil do is live for great football moments. Although, back in 2014 they were on the reverse end of another team’s great moment.

It was as if a nation was silent with seven heavy drum beats… BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! And tears. The 7-1 defeat to the team who went on to win “‘Brazil’s World Cup” rightfully put the myth of home ground advantage to bed. Will the repeat of this take place? Or does the yellow and blue of South America have a far better squad to challenge for glory?

Switzerland will be Brazil’s first team standing in their way of gold. Esteban is joined by Brazilian born, Amanda Paula. They discuss the footballing nation and their chances in Russia 2018.
