Brazil, the most successful national team in World Cup history, take on Japan, who are seeking their first-ever victory in a knockout stage match on the world’s biggest stage.
After a slow start and a draw with Morocco, the Selecao crushed Haiti and Scotland, proving that they shouldn’t be written off in the title race. The truth is, Brazil could have finished the group stage with far more lopsided victories if they had put in a little more effort.
In other words, it’s entirely possible we haven’t seen the full potential of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, but we’ve seen how they prefer to play—always looking for an early lead and to close out their matches quickly
