Brazil will reach the World Cup final - Pele

The Selecao legend believes Felipao's men will be one of the teams competing for the trophy at the Maracana on July 13 and is praying the Canarinho go one better than they in 1950
Brazil legend Pele has predicted the Selecao will reach the final of the 2014 World Cup.

Friday's draw in Bahia saw Luiz Felipe Scolari’s men matched with Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon in Group A.

The hosts will open the tournament against Croatia in Sao Paulo on June 12 and Pele is confident that the Confederations Cup winners will go all the way.

"I think we will be in the final,” he said.

"I can always remember my father crying after we lost the World Cup final to Uruguay in 1950, so I don't want my kids to see me crying. I hope we will win."

Meanwhile, Brazil Technical Director Carlos Alberto Parreira, who won the tournament as coach in 1994, warned the players that their World Cup starts now.

"The World Cup starts when you know who you are up against,” he said following the draw. “So the World Cup starts now.”

"The opening game generates enormous pressure. Win the first match and you are well on the way to making it through.”

Brazil will continue their preparations ahead of the tournament when they meet up in March for the next leg of the Gillette Brasil Global Tour.

Cristiano Ronaldo VS Messi

This is a very complicated things to compare Messi and Ronaldo. One is from Portugal and another one is from Argentina. Ronaldo is the super start of Real Madrid and Messi is the super star of Barcelona.

In this year Ronaldo is ahead a step than Messi. In 2013 Messi got injured and unable to serve Barcelona like his previous time when he received Ballon'Dr 4 times for consecutive years from 2009 to 2012. But this may Ranaldo will get the Ballon'Dr.

There has another things when i going to compare between Messi and Ronaldo. Ronaldo already proved he can play well for his country and good striker for Portugal. But Messi still unable to prof that he can play for country and good for his country.
Because of in Barcelona  Iniesta pass the ball to the Messi to keep doing goal but in Argentina there has no Iniesta for reason Messi unable to play well Football for his country.

In that finally we can say Ronaldo is a player both for Portugal and Real Madrid whereas Messi only player of Barcelona not for Argentina.

Zidane Said 'Ronaldo is monstrous'

The Real Madrid assistant coach has acclaimed the Portugal star ahead of Friday's World Cup draw and says he hopes France are to face some hard teams previously on.
Zinedine Zidane has branded Cristiano Ronaldo "monstrous" for the way he has been performing for Real Madrid and Portugal this year.

The forward, 28, scored four times in the Seleccao's two-legged World Cup play-off in contradiction of Sweden to secure a place in Brazil and has been in exclusive goalscoring form for the Blancos this season.

"Cristiano Ronaldo has shown what he can do for Portugal and Real Madrid," Zidane, who is part of the coaching staff at Santiago Bernabeu, told reporters in Brazil ahead of the World Cup 2014 group stage draw on Friday.

"He does not need to talk much. Much has been said of him, but what he does on the pitch is monstrous. The way he won the match against Sweden, when many people thought Portugal would not qualify... he carried the team on his back.

"He has shown that he is an excellent player. I'm proud to stand beside him [at Madrid], to see him in training, participating in everything.

"He's a great professional, arriving an hour before training. What he has done on the pitch is the result of his hard work. He's an example and really carries and drives the team."

Zidane won the World Cup with France in 1998 and hopes that les Bleus are handed the chance to pit themselves against the best from the outset when the eight groups are allocated on Friday.

"I would love it if France could get put in a difficult group," he added. "I want us to play against the best and achieve something more. I'm not afraid for us to tackle tough teams."

Pele VS Maradona

This is very complicated things to compare between Pele and Maradona. Because of Pele is the player who taken 3 world cups and done maximum goals to opposite teams than any player of the Football world. Where Argentina whole team taken only 2 world cups in the Football history where 1 is for the Maradona by hand of football God.

Maradona is the player who is the worlds most popular football player regarding her incense behavior. Where Pele is not like that. So this is totally immature work to compare Maradona with Pele.

Also Brazil VS Argentina. There has no record except Copa America Argentina can reach near Brazil. Brazil is Brazil because of A British Journalist said that "A team will not be a Big team until or unless playing against Brazil".
