Reigning champions Brazil go into World Cup 2006 as outright favourites, and rightly so.

The whole country expects nothing less than glorious victory in Germany, and success would seal their place as one of the all-time great teams.

No other side, at either club or international level, has such an array of attacking talent.

Ronaldo, Adriano, Kaka, Robinho and Ronaldinho will be giving defenders nightmares in the run-up to the finals.

They do have some weaknesses though.

The all-out attacking nature of their team means there is often space to be found behind the full-backs.

And centre-back Roque Junior is also prone to lapses in concentration and is not the strongest in the air.

These are minor weaknesses though in an incredible side. No team is invincible, but the question is; who will beat them?
