Brazil Preview

Brazil is the favorites to win Group C, and is most likely to eventually overcome any resistance from the Egyptians. Looking at Brazil, the squad is very much a powerhouse with Alexander Pato, Neymar, and Hulk in the position of striker and in midfield yet again that the contents of the Ganso, Sandro.

Brazil is always one of the world's toughest sides to eliminate, and their current elite roster is far unlikely to disappoint any fan or foe.

Egypt Preview

Egypt is expected to give a fierce resistance against Brazil in this opening match. Egypt is struggling to qualify for the quarterfinals, and everyone knows how desperation can push anyone.

Egypt's absence from Olympic action makes them a very definite underdog in this contest. They have nothing to lose, though, and that can be very dangerous to the favorite.
