Brazil Vs Japan | Neymar Steps Up Training As Brazil Prepare For The Knockout Stage | FIFA World Cup

Brazil finalised their preparations on the eve of their last 32 encounter with Japan at the World Cup. The five-time champions finished top of Group C while Japan were runners-up in Group F behind the Netherlands. Neymar, who missed the first two matches of the group stage against Morocco and Haiti, came on in the 76th minute during the 3-0 win over Scotland. It remains to be seen whether Carlo Ancelotti will call on the 34-year-old from the start against Japan on Monday. The two nations last met in the World Cup in the group stage in 2006 when a Ronaldo brace was sandwiched by goals from Juninho and Gilberto as Brazil claimed a 4-1 win.
