Brazil plays against Germany without Neymar and Silva

Brazil is still trying to recover from the shock of Neymar's injury, but also from the absence of their leader

Newsroom July 8 08:28

The World Cup is about to end and four countries out of 32 have left to fight for winning the trophy.

Tonight the first big game between Brazil and Germany will take place and all football fans hope they will see a good match and their favorite team winning.

Of course it is not possible to talk about favorites, since both teams have enjoyed so many successes and have won the World Cup trophy 8 times in total.

However, the absence of Neymar due to his injury might be proved a disadvantage for Brazilians, although there are some who believe that this incident will raise the spirit of the team to overcome this difficulty. Another point, though, is that Brazil will fight without its leader Thiago Silva, who has two yellow cards and he won’t be able to play.

Also, Germany is a team that can take advantage of its opponent’s weakness, and Brazilians have a lot of weak points.

Both teams, though, want to win and we will probably watch a game full of energy and passion.
