Maybe it´s the 7-1 memories that turns me a little pessimist (I´m brazilian), but let me point something:
Since 2002 Brazil haven't beaten a first class team in the World Cup.
2006: Croatia, Australia, Japan, Ghana and then lost to France
2010: Korea, Ivory Coast, a draw with Portugal, Chile, and then lost to Netherlands.
2014: Croatia, Cameroon, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, and then two losses to Germany and Netherlands.
Ok, it's a good squad, it's BRAZIL, but I can't help seeing the same story again (Of course there's another point whether Belgium is a first class team or not). Anyway, I think Brazil is overpriced because it haven't been really tested yet.
