The last two teams to play their first match in the FIFA 2022 World Cup are two of the most intriguing in the field.
On the one side, there’s top-ranked Brazil, which last won the World Cup 20 years ago and desperately seeks its sixth title with a squad that is overflowing with attacking options. Neymar remains chief among them, and he enters the World Cup two goals shy of Pelé’s all-time national men’s scoring record (77).
On there other side, there’s a Serbia team that also boasts a wealth of talent on its front line, although injury questions surround Juventus star Dušan Vlahoviu0107 and Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitroviu0107, with only the latter starting.
