Maybe because its 4 years on and teams learn and grow.
Brazil as always have amazingly talented players and the nation has a nostalgic following because of their success.
very rare a non european team wins it in europe though, happened once in about 10?
Aye they lost 7-1, that was in a semifinal against the eventual winners, when they were missing their two best players and their coach was ridiculously tactically naive.
They’re clearly one of the favourites

No European team has won one in South America. Well, apart from the last one of course...
Brazil also won it in Asia, and most of Russia is in Asia.
Brazil have a frighteningly strong side and should make the semi finals. Any team with Neymar and Coutinho up front deserves respect.

Coutinho is a very good player but that's it,he'll never be considered a great like Pele,Garrincha,Jairzinho,Zico,Socrates,Romario,Bebeto,Ronaldinho,Ronaldo etc!
They have a complete stroll to the semis, Costa Rica, The Swiss and Serbia in their group. Probably Mexico/Sweden in the last 16 and then 1 of England/Belgium/Colombia in the QF.
They have the most balanced team at the tournament, with top players in every position. Virtually the entire squad plays in Europe these days so I think old never win in Europe rule will go.
There is no better squad at this tournament and they have a route that Mr Magoo could operate

Germany and Argentina to name just two have far,far better teams than Brazil.I predict a final repeat between these two!

Argentina don't have a defence remotely close to Brazil's strength, and they nearly didn't qualify at all. Once again Messi dug them out of a hole in the last match. This Argentina side are also major bottlers.
Germany have keeper issues, Neuer has barely played this season and the back up keepers are Karius level. They also have a far weaker attack than Brazil.
Brazil won the South American qualifying group by a distance, Argentina qualified by the skin of their teeth. Yet Argentina have a far better team than Brazil.
Interesting.
Brazil scored 41 goals in qualifying compared to Argentinas 19 . That was the same number of goals as Venezuela who finished bottom...
Brazil also conceded 5 less than the Argies, finishing 22 points clear of Argentina, yet Argentina have a "far better" team

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Messi,Aguero,Higuain just up front yes Argentina's team is absolute rubbish!
19 goals in 18 qualifiers
And no one said Argentina are "absolute rubbish". Just the facts show Brazil have been a far better team than them over the last couple of years.

Argentina probably have the most unbalanced squad out of all the favorites. Terrible midfield and defence.
And as DJ pointed out, they barely made it out of the quali stages with a pathetic goals tally, considering how supposedly good their attack is.
Brazil on the other hand have looked very strong under Tite and along with Germany & France have probably the most balanced squad out of the lot. Won't surprise me the least if they make it to the final.
Blueinbarca doesn't appear to understand how football works.
Look no further than France, Spain or Germany.
The rest are also rans imo.

You could easily quote the names of every countries greatest players, and say their current players aren't as good.
Silly boy.
Don't know what brazil have done to upset you OP but this is a bit crazy.
They have the only player of the top 3 players in the world in their prime.
They have willian
Coutinho
A back line including Thiago silva, marcelo, alex sandro and others.
They have steel in CM and have a deep squad needed for tournaments.
Brazil and their current crop don't have the cajones as shown in their complete and total humiliation on home soil.
