Brazil may have reached the FIFA World Cup knockout stage, but confidence back home remains low ahead of their final group match against Scotland. Despite a draw against Morocco and a 3-0 win over Haiti, critics say Carlo Ancelotti’s side has failed to impress. Questions continue over Neymar’s fitness, Casemiro’s form and the team's overall cohesion. Vinícius Júnior has been Brazil’s standout performer, while fans are calling for young striker Endrick to be given more opportunities. With tougher opponents potentially waiting in the knockout rounds, many believe Brazil must improve significantly to challenge for a sixth world title. (PC: The Guardian)
