Gabriel Jesus, Antony, and Vinicius lead reactions as Brazil confirm World Cup squad

The most successful nation in World Cup history, have announced its squad for the 2022 tournament in Qatar.

The Samba boys are no doubt among the favourites going into the first-ever winter tournament having endured quarter-final exits in 2006, 2010 and 2018, as well as an extraordinary semi-final humiliation in 2014, since their last triumph in 2002.
