Though Brazil's record World Cup wins (and eight
Copa América
victories, the
last in 2007) makes them the undisputed kings of the sport, tournaments since have
been disappointments: in
2006
traditional bugbears France beat an overhyped but
underperforming Brazil side, while in
2010
the Brazilians were unceremoniously

(South America's regional competition), Brazil also faired poorly, knocked out in the
quarter-finals by Paraguay. Playing at home, however, in the
2014 World Cup
, it's a
brave person who would bet against them.
