Brazil host Colombia in Sao Paulo on Thursday knowing victory will book their ticket to Qatar with six World Cup qualifiers to spare.
Brazil's Gabriel Barbosa celebrates with coach Tite Brazil are on the verge of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Publically, though, Tite is not getting ahead of himself with a trip to face arch rivals Argentina in San Juan on the horizon next week.“A good performance and a good result against Colombia will provide us with a good preparation for Argentina.” Brazil have dominated the single CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying group, winning 10 of their 11 matches and scoring 26 goals.
James’s inclusion is a welcome boost for Colombia, who will be without injured veteran striker Radamel Falcao. And they may have to do without star player Lionel Messi, who is suffering from knee and hamstring problems and has missed his club Paris Saint-Germain’s last two matches.
