Preview & Prediction: Brazil Vs North Korea

Brazil Vs North Korea:

Best team in world cup will face lowest ranked team in the second game of group G. North Koreans created sensation by defeating Italy in group stage as Italian coach rested six first team players. Under Dunga, there is no chance for complacency and Brazil will go all out to crush unfortunate North Koreans who are in group of death.

Match timing: June 15 at 11:55 PM IST

Venue: Ellis Park stadium, Johannesburg.

Key players:

Brazil: Julio Cesar, Maicon, Alves, Lucio, Kaka, Fabiano and Robinho (may be entire squad)

North Korea: Jong Tae Se

Squad analysis:

Brazil: They have best goal keeper, top 2 right backs, best centre back, best midfielder and best forward in the world. Juan, Baptista, Melo and Elano perform their roles as per coach instructions. They believe in team strength – no chance for star egos under Dunga. Robinho regained form and Fabiano is a serious contender for golden boot. They have best defence in the tournament while Silva and Felipe Melo will play as holding midfielders.

Cesar-Lucio-Maicon have better coordination as they play regularly for Inter Milan. It will be a big surprise if they concede a goal.

North Korea: They may play for draw. Most of North Koreans play for small clubs but they play like warriors on field. But, Brazilians will expose their limitations in defence.

North Koreans have will to fight but what about skill.

Final analysis: Brazil will decimate North Koreans. Brazil has too many creative players to overcome dodgy defensive tactics of North Korea. Brazil will top group G without any difficulty. Portugal and Ivory coast will fight for second spot.
