Brazil got a 2-0 win over Serbia in their opening game of the World Cup in an impressive display. The Selecao got a 1-0 win over Switzerland in their second game as they qualified for the knockout stages. Brazil's major issue in those games was they rely more on individual players to create chances as they find it difficult to play against low blocks. The Selecao will need to be at their best to defeat South Korea in the quarter-finals. Neymar’s return is a major boost for the Selecao as he is set to start the game.
