No matter what category you are talking about, but when Brazil comes into the pitch, you have to consider them one of the top contenders to win any football tournament they participate in. This time around, the Brazilians will have to prove their worth against Portugal, in which may be considered by some as a Final match, given the class both sides have shown.
Brazil's group stage was rather comfortable, breezing through Group E with three wins. Nevertheless, Rogerio Micale's team was not able to break the deadlock against Uruguay, winning the game with a dramatic penalty shootout. If the Brazilians emerge from this match victorious, they will be tying Argentina's record for most games undefeated in this sort of tournament with 19, and adding some goal scoring chances to their already record-breaking 101 shots, could end up helping them to reach the semis.
Portugal, on the other hand, will be the toughest match for Brazil up to date. A Selecao das Quinas stunned host New Zealand in their Round of 16 match, proving that they can be up to the most challenging situations. Like Brazil, the Portuguese side won its three group matches, and with 30 minutes of playing time less than their opponents, the Europeans could very well end upsetting the Brazilians.
