They might be one of the strong favourites to win the World Cup thanks to their natural flair for football and home advantage.

But it seems the talk might have gotten to the heads of Neymar and Co., judging by Luiz Felipe Scolari's reaction after training on Sunday.

The Brazil coach was not a happy man, blasting his players as they prepared for their friendly against Panama on on Wednesday morning (Singapore time).

The 2002 World Cup winner said: “I did not like training, I liked nothing.

“Everything was wrong.

"When I don’t like things, I have to find a solution and field it on the pitch until I am satisfied."
