Neymar and his Brazil teammates warm up during a training session in Tokyo, June 5, 2022. Watch JPN vs BRA, football match live.

In a massive football fixture on Monday, Japan host Brazil at the National Stadium, Tokyo. Japan have never beaten Brazil, and this match-up presents a chance for the Blue Samurai to create history. Selecao, still smarting from Argentina's cancellation of their Superclasico, will hope to end the Asian tour on a high with another facile win. They beat South Korea 5-1 on Thursday.

Both Japan and Brazil have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Brazil eased through the CONMEBOL qualifiers, winning 14 out of 17 fixtures while conceding just five goals. But Tite's men are a grumpy lot after Argentina pulled out of their Superclasico fixture, which was scheduled for June 11 at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Then, Argentina defeated Italy in the Finalissima, a one-off clash between the champions of South America and Europe. Neymar was especially very annoyed, having seen the Argentine celebration at Wembley. The PSG superstar asked, "Did they win the World Cup?". Meanwhile, Lionel Messi & Co. can extend their unbeaten run to 33 matches when they take on Estonia on Sunday.

Japan also dominated their World Cup qualifying. In Qatar this winter, they will make a seventh successive World Cup appearance. So, the focus is on their preparations. And no fixture trumps the one against Brazil. Hajime Moriyasu's side will also take on Ghana on June 10 in the Kirin Cup. By the way, Japan were brilliant in their 4-1 win against Paraguay on Thursday.

Btw, Japan are in Group E, which also has Spain and Germany, besides the winners of CONCACAF–OFC playoff winners. Brazil are in Group G, along with Cameroon, Serbia and Switzerland.
