An audience of a billion soccer fanatics is awaiting the biggest sporting event on the planet with a level of excitement that can only be felt every four years. The loyal fans of the Brazil team are waiting with both excitement and dread as they impatiently wait for the first match. The expectations are so huge for this team that nobody in Brazil will sleep until that first match with Croatia has been won.
The latest odds favor both the Brazilians and Argentineans
with both teams going off at 1/4. Fans of the Brazil team believe it is their
year to win for a number of reasons: They are playing at home, they have the
best World Cup history of all teams, groups D and G are considered weak, the professional bettors and soccer pundits have picked them to go
all the way, and last but not least, they have some of the best players in the world.
This last point is probably valid because they do indeed have
three of the best players;
Neymar (best winger),
Marcelo (best left back), and Thiago Silva (best Centre back). If these three
incredibly talented players help win the cup, they’ll have the joy of being
included on this list of Brazil Soccer legends; Careca, Carlos Alberto Torres,
Clodoaldo, Jairzinho, Kaká, Pelé, Roberto Rivellino, Romário, Ronaldinho,
Ronaldo, Toninho Cerezo, Tostão, and Zico. |
