Tite surprised no one has won all three games... "wow"

Brazil manager Tite spoke about the increasing difficulty of the World Cup, and emphasised that no team has been able to win all three games of the group stage.

This is the first time that no side has completed the full house in the group stage since 1994, when Brazil got the title after beating Italy on a penalty shoot-out.

Brazil lost to Cameroon in the last game of the group stage, after already securing their place in the last-16 and the top spot being within their grasp.

"If we win, we wil have won all our games, and if we lose, everyone loses", Tite said with total sincerity in the press conference.

"There's very little time to recover between each game. The teams are getting better and better, and football is bigger than ever. The fact that nobody has won all three games... 'wow'. All the sides which won their first two have lost, it's something to think about".

"Losing is part of these tournaments. The World Cup doesn't give you second chances, but now we do have one. You've got to suffer for 48 hours and then be ready", the manager added.
