Eyeing her 100th cap, Marta takes Brazil to Canada for the 2015 Women's World Cup. It is highly impossible to see Brzil disappoint in any way or form. Brazil enters the Women's World Cup winning their latest continental title by defeating Ecuador.
Brazil, the regining six time Copa America champions, are now heading to earn their first FIFA Women's World Cup title. Making six appearances, but just missing the final.
As they prepare, they have a particular style of play, and multiple strengths: one being forward Christiane. Christiane ended the Copa America tournament by being the tournaments leading goal scorer, lifting her Brazilian side to victories over Bolivia, Paraguay, and Chile in the first round. As they progressed on to the final four teams in Argentina, she then again helped lift her side to victories over Ecuador, and rivals Argentina, before securing the title with a draw against Colombia.
Another strength that Brazil has is they will have the return of five time FIFA Women's World Player of the Year, Marta. With her presence back in the newly faced lineup of this years world cup, she will be assisted in the attack by Christiane, and midfieder Formiga.
With new faces already taking over, they are bound to make an extraordinary impression on all their opponents in Group E. They also have a new coach in Oswaldo Alvarez, or better known as Vadao.
Vadao has years of experience in men's soccer, including clubs Vitoria, Sao Caetano, Goias, and Ponte Vreda. He took over the women's national team in April of 2014. The 58-year-old has been the impact of rising stars such as Rivaldo, and exposed the talents in Orlando City SC midfielder, Kaka. He leads this team to their potential first Women's World Cup title, and a possible gold medal run in the Rio 2016 Women's Olympic soccer tournament.
Brazil has a mediocre history in their years participating in the World Cup. First off, they have never failed to qualify for any World Cups. Another fact in history: with five defeats in only six games, Brazil was eliminated from the group stage in their first two appearances at China 1991, and Sweden 1995. Improving at USA 1999, they took third place, and Sissi took the tournaments Adidas Golden Boot. And their best performances came during their time at China 2007 (finishing runner up) and getting knocked out of the quarter finals at USA 2003, and Germany 2011.
Prediction: With the dominance of Brazil, given the group that they are placed in for this years Women's World Cup: Group E (Korea Republic, Spain, Costa Rica, Brazil), Brazil will top the group with 9 points, winning all group matches.
