2022 World Cup: What’s the deal in group G? - Tournament favourites Brazil should coast through, but Cameroon, Serbia and Switzerland have it all to play for
The Fifa World Cup brings the possibility of upsets, unforeseeable circumstances and the teeth-grinding vexation of controversy. It also brings contenders to a table that has often allowed only European and South American nations as diners. Before the competition begins, thewill be looking at each group to determine which nation might replace France as world champions. Group G includes Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
It’s tough to find a weakness in this squad, but if we are to be really critical, Brazil’s full-backs could be the only hole that sinks this ship. Alex Telles and Danilo have been poor for their clubs over the past season and Dani Alves is past his prime. It’s no wonder head coach Tite moves Eder Militao to play at right back sometimes.
With the side that Brazil has, he should thrive, because, for once, the nation won’t be his to carry alone.Another side that starts with three centre-backs and likes to push their wing-backs forward to assist the front line, Serbia enter this World Cup unbeaten in their last five international games.
The Serbian team will have to be at their best when they play Brazil in their group G opener or they might find themselves playing catch-up early.Vlahovic will be Serbia’s source of goals. He burst onto the scene last season with Fiorentina and quickly moved to Italian giants Juventus. The Swiss will believe that they will join Brazil and advance through this group, but Serbia and Cameroon are not easy teams to beat.
Cameroon don’t have his or Samuel Eto’o’s electricity, but they do have a few players who have been in excellent form in Europe’s top five leagues.
