Brazil's national football squad appears to have regained some of its zeal in Joao Pessao. But would that be sufficient for Qatar to win the World Cup?
The answer is yes, based on the atmosphere at home. There is no doubt that the Seleço will win the championship for the first time in 20 years and for the sixth time overall.
The building where Hemerson Cabral, 35, works as a janitor in So Paulo, Brazil's largest city, has undergone numerous alterations.
More Brazilian flags have been flying from windows since the World Cup began last month, and the locals are engrossed in the competition.
In addition, Cabral believes Brazil will defeat France in the final. "When Brazil are playing, many people finish work so they get back home earlier to watch it with the family or with the neighbors," Cabral said.
"They are the sole challenge. Brazil will prevail in a fantastic game. Brazil matches have the best atmosphere in the world. There may not be other football supporters like us. Along with the athletes, we enter the field.
There are others besides Cabral who adhere to the Hexa (a sixth World Cup title for Brazil). Brazil will win the title this year, 71 percent of Brazilians believe, according to an Apoema research report.

A FIFA Fan Festival is being held in Rio de Janeiro, where guests can attend concerts and games. Additionally, until the final on December 18, the city will hold themed parties.
Additionally, the World Cup is assisting businesses in increasing sales. There are Brazilian jerseys everywhere.
The demand for jerseys at Cintia Sampaio's shop in Joo Pessoa when the World Cup began caught her by surprise.
Sampaio claimed that during the elections in November, "sales started to grow because people wore it [jersey] for the politics side of things."
"It was crazy when the World Cup started just after the elections. I was selling hundreds of jerseys every day, and the shop was so busy that I didn't have time for breakfast.
Unquestionably, Brazil is a football nation, but some people were worried that politics may overshadow the games. In contrast to previous years, the World Cup spirit suddenly swept the nation on November 20, the first day of play.
