BRAZIL
Brazil’s last World Cup triumph came in Korea-Japan 2002 when they beat Germany 2-0, relying on the heroics of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Cafu and a host of others. Since winning their 5th title two decades ago, the Samba boys have only managed 3 quarter final tickets and a 4th place finish.
To end this drought, Tite’s men will be banking on their current run of 8 wins in a row and no loss in over a year.
Also, their squad is a mix of youth, talent and experience meaning the likes of Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon have a Herculean task if they intend to earn something meaningful from their group.
SERBIA
Serbia’s best run at the World Cup came in 1930 when they got to the Semis as part of the then Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
Their first stint at the tournament as an independent nation was in Germany 2006 when they went in as Serbia and Montenegro and it ended in a group stage exit.
As Serbia, they went on to feature in 2010 and 2018, all ending in group stage exit as well.
With a run of 4 wins and 1 draw, Serbia are heading to Qatar hoping to break their run of group phase failure and earn a first knockout ticket as an independent country.
