How to Beat Brazil

Another World Cup is approaching and Brazil is once again the team to beat. The truth is they can defeat any team in the world.
But certainly there are teams featuring in this World Cup capable of beating Brazil. But they are likely to lose to Brazil because of fear. Fear of almighty Brazil.
I believe that any team that hopes to beat Brazil and win the tournament should play without fear. Brazil is a team to be respected but so is every team in this tourmament.
The key to beating Brazil is to play without fear. When fear is out of the window, anything can happen in football and indeed in life.

Argentina have Riquelme who will be a handful to any defence. His team mate, Messi should not be overlooked.
It will be a delight to watch Henry and Zidane play for France.
Michael Ballack will have to carry the German team on his shoulders. How will he cope?
Michael Essien and Didier Drogba are the two African players to watch. Michael Essien was sorely missed in Ghana's Africa Nations Cup campaign and will be determined to help restore Ghana's pride. Drogba is in great form and will be looking sharp in the tournament for Cote D'ivoire.
