ROAD TO THE FINALS:
[The five-time World Champions finished top of a bitterly-contested CONMEBOL qualifying competition and finished 10 points clear of 2nd-placed Uruguay.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(CONMEBOL) However, the qualifying campaign began with a stutter. Following several underwhelming results, negative football, and a dispirited 2016 Copa America exit, head coach Dunga was sacked, paving the way for Adenor Leonardo Bacchi "Tite" to take the reigns as manager. Immediately, Tite engineered an electric turnaround to a beleaguered Brazil desperately in need of solace following their 2014 World Cup humiliation. Brazil won all but two of their remaining 12 games, meshing experience with a new generation of talent as well as rediscovering the joy of attractive, attacking football on their march to Russia.
In the two years since Tite was appointed, Brazil have shrugged off the agony of 2014 to reclaim their status as World Cup favorites. A potent attacking trio of Coutinho, Gabriel Jesus, and the world-renowned Neymar, an experienced world-class defense featuring Thiago Silva, Miranda and Marcelo, and added midfield steel in the form of Casemiro and Paulinho has solidified Brazil's status as one of the top national sides in the world.
Die Nati started out in Pot 2 and were drawn into Group B alongside Portugal and Hungary in 2015. A relatively weak group almost ensured the fight for 1st and 2nd place would be between the Swiss and the Portuguese. An opening 2-0 triumph over Portugal in Basel gave the Swiss momentum and self-belief and th

Belgium became the first European team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, being only one of four unbeaten teams in the campaign (alongside Germany, England, and Spain.)
No player scored more than 2 goals during Panama's World Cup qualifying campaign. In fact, they secured their historic first participation with a negative goal difference (-1).
