World Cup 2018: 3 reasons why Brazil will not win the trophy

Brazil is one of the most complete teams of the World Cup

#3 Too many cooks spoil the broth

Brazil has just too much talent which may affect their teamwork.

This is an old true saying. If there are too many good players in a team, there is a huge chance that the team will fail. So far the Brazilian team has been absolutely magnificent in its run up to the World Cup.

The Brazilian XI is one of the best in the world, and each position in their 4-3-3 formation is marshaled by a player who could win matches single handed.

Brazil topped the CONMEBOL South American qualifiers with 41 points in 18 matches, 10 points ahead of second-placed Uruguay and scored a record 41 goals in the tournament.

They've won their last four international friendlies with good margins and that is precisely why many pundits are backing them to lift the cup.

However, the team has too many good players, and though they look to have gelled together well, Brazilian legend Pele believes that teamwork in the team is missing. He also said Brazil is not a team and Neymar alone cannot win the World Cup.

Can Brazil defy the odds and lift the trophy in Russia?
