Tite’s players are currently at the top of the FIFA rankings. Also, Brazil remained undefeated and topped the table in their FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifying campaigns. But Neymar and co. will face some serious competition from other top teams such as France, Argentina, Germany, and Spain.
Brazil have been placed in Group G in the group stages alongside Serbia, Switzerland, and Cameroon. All these three teams have several talented individuals in their squads who possess the ability to make a major difference in any game.
