Brazil and Cameroon are playing on the World Cup schedule for Group A and the tournament matchup comes streaming online from ESPN and WatchESPN at 4 pm ET for the live stream and the game is crucial for Brazil and will be from the Estadio Nacional in Brasilia as the team tries to lockup a spot in the knockout round.
Brazil won their opening match against Croatia and now that feels like ages ago and the team followed that with a draw with Mexico to set up these games. The final group matches are placed together so that teams do not pull any funny business and here the results are important, as Brazil can clinch the group with a win and they are looking for a good matchup in the round of 16. Neymar has played well and he had two goals in the first game against Croatia and one of those included a penalty kick after a controversial call and now they will matchup with Cameroon.
Cameroon has a last chance here to get something going and their best player and captain Samuel Eto'o will not be starting the game and that will make things tough on the team heading into the game. Brazil has one of the strongest and deepest rosters in the World Cup and this game could put them through clean as the winners and they are looking for the most favorable matchup in the next stage, as Chile and Netherlands are in Group B and both have played well after eliminating Spain from the tournament and that means a new champion is guaranteed.
Brazil has been one of the best teams in the tournament even though they have not had a "great" game yet and they can use this matchup against Cameroon to get things together and a win would put the team through to the next stage. The team has four points along with Mexico and Brazil may end up needed goal differential to come into play depending on the results of the other matchup and Mexico goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is looking to have another solid game after the strong performance he had in the draw with Brazil.
Cameroon is at a big disadvantage with their best player out of the lineup and Brazil is looking to take heed of that. The team is going for their sixth championship at the World Cup and they will need to play better up front to win after the game they played against Mexico and this is a crucial matchup as the third games of the group stage begin. Brazil can advance with a win or a draw and that would eliminate Cameroon, while Mexico can do the same with Croatia.
Brazil remains one of the favorites since they are a strong team and the host nation, while Germany, Argentina and the Netherlands are looking strong as well. The United States had the chance to punch their ticket into the next round, but Ronaldo had something to say about that and now the match against Germany has a different feel. The Us could have made it in and now they will try and make sure that Ronaldo play isn't what kills the team for the next four years.
