Final FIFA World Cup Power Rankings

Germany World Cup

8. Brazil

A young and very humble Brazilian team upsets its nation. What a shocker.

This team entered the tournament as favorites according to many analysts only because the tournament was held in their country.

Brazil didn’t have the best roster and they didn’t play well together. Brazil has lost its Brazilian touch, which the old roster with Kaka, Ronaldinho, and Ronaldo used to have. Joga Bonito is a thing of the past for Brazil, and that is why they lost their dominance at the international level.

Brazil has a fairly young roster, and many players still have yet to bloom. We shall see what Brazil can do in 2018 when players like Neymar, Oscar, and Willian to name a few, reach their potential.
