NEYMAR came back from injury with a bang by inspiring Brazil to a convincing victory over Croatia ahead of the World Cup.
The Paris Saint-Germain star scored in his first outing since fracturing his metatarsal meanwhile Roberto Firmino also scored in the 2-0 victory at Anfield.
In the build up to the tournament Brazil were alongside Germany, France and Spain as the favourites.
But the Samba Boys’ odds have been slashed to 4/1 ahead of their rivals.
Germany, who are second favourites at 9/2 lost their warm-up match against Austria 2-1 and Joachim Lowe today made the shock decision to drop Leroy Sane from his squad.
Meanwhile Spain were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Switzerland yesterday evening during their preparations.
France who are also tipped for glory have beaten Ireland 2-0 as well as beating Italy 3-1 in June.
