Football: ‘Brazil risk first-round exit in 2014’
“If Brazil keep on playing football the way they’re right now, they risk not getting past the first-round,” Romario.
RIO DE JANEIRO:
Former World Cup winner Romario believes that the current Brazil team risk an ignominious exit from the 2014 Fifa World Cup if their form does not improve. In a little over two years, Brazil will host the football extravaganza for the first time but Romario, now a politician, believes they have little chance of realistically aiming for a sixth triumph. “If Brazil keep on playing the football they’re playing right now, they risk not getting past the first-round,” said Romario.
