Turkey and Brazil are playing live on the World Cup international friendly schedule on Wednesday and the matchup starts at 1:30 pm ET and is from Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul and the matchup has a live stream online from beIN Sport as Neymar and the Brazilian team come back after their horrible WC collapse in the tournament this summer.
Brazil comes in putting the awful German defeat behind them and they now have won some nice games, including over Colombia, Ecuador and Argentina and the team also won against Japan, which was a 4-0 win last month. The team did that without giving up goals and they have looked impressive as they try and push that bad taste from the World Cup away. Neymar dropped four against Japan in that game and he has looked very good and he said he is thrilled to be back playing for Brazil after getting injured in the World Cup.
Brazil had a horrible finish to the World Cup and that came after some controversy and now the team is back in the mix of things and they have Neymar all healed up after his back injury at the World Cup. The team is looking to erase the memories of their collapse at the end of the World Cup and they had to watch as a European side won on their soil, as the Germans took the championship over rivals Argentina. Germany killed Brazil with a 7-1 win and they seemingly could not stop scoring in that game.
Turkey comes into the match with one win in their last four games and their last win was against Demark and that came in a friendly with a 2-1 score. Now the Selecao come in looking to get back on track and the Brazilians will be looking to keep things tight as they get underway in Turkey during the international break. Turkey and Brazil played in the 2002 World Cup, with Brazil winning that match in the semifinals. Brazil comes into this match as the heavy favorites and Turkey has not been in a Whorl Cup since finishing in the last four back in 2002 and this is a slight chance at some revenge.
Turkey is trying to qualify for Euro 2016 and they need to get into form and it comes against a hot Brazil team. The Brazil side is now under coach Dunga and they have played very well while winning four straight matches. The team is hoping to make it one more in a row and it comes after Turkey lost against Iceland and the Czech Republic before a draw with Latvia. Brazil is much more talented than Turkey and that likely will show.
