Why they will: Brazil has five World Cup titles including two of the last five. They�re full of talented forwards (Kaka, Luis Fabiano and Alexandre Pato) and they only lost twice in their CONMEBOL qualifying.
Why they won�t: Everyone knows Kaka is the team�s best player. He gives Brazil toughness, experience and firepower in their offensive attack.

He is ball-possession oriented so will he pick guys that will be in cahoots with the Real Madrid playmaker?
