Brazil among World Cup favorites: Bruno

New Jersey (United States), June 9 (UNI) Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes said Brazil deserves to be considered among the favorites to win the FIFA World Cup, which starts this week in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The Newcastle United captain said he disagreed with claims from Brazil's media that the team lacks the strength of previous World Cups as it seeks to win the competition for a record sixth time.
"A lot of people say things just to get attention," Bruno said. "Brazil is one of the favorites in any competition. No other team has five stars on its shirt. We have great players shining at the biggest clubs in the world, so our national team and our players deserve proper respect."
