Rock solid brazil living up to billing as world cup favourites
I think there may be some confusion here!
Brazil is indeed a strong contender in the FIFA World Cup, but "rock solid" might not be the most accurate description of their performance so far. While they have shown flashes of brilliance, they have also had some shaky moments in the tournament.
In their opening match against Serbia, Brazil struggled to find their rhythm and were held to a 2-0 win. They then faced Switzerland in their second group stage match and were forced to come from behind to win 2-1.
While Brazil has the talent and experience to make a deep run in the tournament, they have not yet lived up to the billing as favorites to win the World Cup. They will need to improve their performance and consistency if they hope to lift the trophy.
That being said, Brazil is still a formidable team with a rich history of success in the World Cup. They have won the tournament a record five times and have a strong squad with players like Neymar, Alisson, and Casemiro. So, while they may not be playing "rock solid" football just yet, they are still a team to be reckoned with in the tournament.
