PREGAME:
Setting the stage
Group G was back at the forefront Thursday, as the No. 1 team in the world took the field. Entering Thursday's match, Brazil was 73-18-18 all-time in the World Cup and had more tournament appearances than any nation (22), including this year.
The Seleção have arguably the most talented roster in the tournament this year, headlined by Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar, who is one of FOX Bet's favorites to win this year's Golden Boot.
In the hunt
On the other side, Serbia entered Thursday's match 18-20-8 all-time in the World Cup (including participation as Yugoslavia). It was the team's 13th tournament appearance and second straight.
