Why is Colombia such an underdog against Brazil?

Brazil doesn't lose to the small teams of South America. Only team that owns Brazil is Argentina. All others play scared versus Brazil.

What the hell are you talking about,did you not see Chile take Brazil to the brink.

game is tomorrow degens.

Here is the info I get from Brazil: Felipao tried out two teams, one simply with Paulinho in the place of the suspended Luiz Gustavo, which would actually make the team worse, since he is a worse player. The other one had a lot of changes, with Fred and Daniel Alves one the bench, no fixed central striker with Willian in the midfield.

The second team is better. But it hasn't practiced a lot so it would be hard for Felipao to pull it off on a decisive game. I think if he just puts Paulinho in the place Luiz Gustavo, Colombia is really a good play. Might lay off if he starts the second team though.

b/c the casual soccer fan thinks Brazil can't be beat.

Colombia will attack and while that favors Brazil that is a good counter team with Neymar, they are a matchup nightmare for us. Our weakest links are the two side backs.

You got it all wrong. Brazil will be attackin team and Colombia counter team. It will suits Colombia perfect and they are like A.Madrid, let the other team lead the game and witing to counter.
My money will be on Colombia to win/advance.

they have drawn last 4 meetings, nobody is scared of Brazil, the line is about past history and being host nations

this brazilian team isnt the fluid nice on the eyes attacking teams of the past, its essentially a great defense with 1 quality attacking player and a few complimentary players. Take away the jersey and this should be even money, even at brazil. However you can expect some favorable refs for Brazil, only caution

That and the crowd are what I'm worried about. Brazil 1-0. Money is spent.
