Although the Selecao are still to face current Copa America holders Chile in their final World Cup qualifier on Wednesday, it seems their stars are more relaxed going into what would usually be considered a tough fixture as a result of having already qualified for Russia 2018.
Brazil captain Neymar and teammate Dani Alves were spotted looking all gussied up while hanging out with Selecao legend Ronaldo Nazario.

The Albiceleste captain and his teammates will do their best to avoid one of the biggest upsets in modern football, and secure a spot in the global tournament next year.
Brazil and Argentina have long been rivals when it comes to football, but while Messi and Neymar may be the captains of their respective countries, it would be hard to believe that the Paris Saint-Germain superstar wouldn't be rooting for his friend Messi to qualify for the tournament.
Do you think Neymar is rooting for Messi to qualify for the World Cup?
