Brazil begin their World Cup 2018 campaign against Group E rivals Switzerland this Sunday.

Ad

Few teams have a World Cup ghost as hefty as Brazil’s to exorcise, after their 7–1 semi-final humiliation, in front of a home crowd, at the hands of Germany in 2014. But then few teams can match Brazil’s sheer quality, as shown in the battle of the centre forwards: will manager Tite stick with wunderkind Gabriel Jesus, or will Roberto Firmino get the nod?

Assuming the Group E top spot is Brazil’s, the fight’s on for second – and Switzerland will be in the mix.
