The tournament has been extremely exciting for fans and Brazil remains in the mix as one of the favorites despite losing their best player to an injury. Neymar was kneed in the back and suffered a stress fracture and now he likely will be out for the duration of the tournament, which finishes on Sunday, July 13 in Rio and that will be a massive match if Brazil makes it in. Heading into the tournament, Germany, Brazil and Argentina were considered the favorites and they are all here, while the Netherlands became a favorite in
Neymar will be out and while he is trying to recover in time for the final, that likely will not happen and now the Brazilian side has to find a way to win. The nation could explode if Brazil loses and now it's likely that one of Willian, Bernard, Oscar and Hernanes will take Neymar's spot. Neymar is one of the best players in this tournament and now Brazil will have to find a way to win without the 22 year old star, as he was the leading scorer for the team in this tournament.
The two teams have faced off in the past and that saw Brazil win 2-0 and now they matchup again. Neither team has any players that played in that game and now the Germans come in looking strong. Thomas Muller has played very well along with Toni Kroos and now the two teams are looking to advance to the finals. The bracket had a guaranteed South American side in the semis and now those teams are looking to win and advance into the next stage.
The final from Brazil is on Sunday and that comes after the third place game in Brasilia and that will be on the Saturday before the game. Argentina and Brazil are trying to win as South American teams, while the two European sides are trying to fight history, as no team from Europe has won the tournament on South American soil before. Germany is into the semis for the third straight time and now Brazil has their massive home unbeaten streak on the line and if Neymar remains out, it could end up that the host nation loses, especially since they will be without Thiago Silva as well after his yellow card.
