The outstanding team throughout World Cup history will once again go into the competition as favourites to win. The five-times winners and only team to have qualified for every single World Cup, Brazil are always the team that others look to play against and the one most feared.
Brazil qualified for the finals easily from their group, not losing a single home game and finishing off by putting five goals past Chile. The last World Cup was a showcase for the three Rs - Rivaldo, Ronaldhino and Ronaldo - and the 2006 Finals will continue that with the new Brazilian star Robinho joining Ronaldhino and Ronaldo as the new three Rs.
The Brazilians are part of what gives the World Cup its magic. We all expect stunning goals, silky footwork and amazing skill, and they usually deliver. Could be trophy number six in Germany for Brazil. [Latest Brazil Squad News]
