Neymar headlines World Cup 'favorite'

RIO DE JANEIRO - Neymar, who hasn't played since sustaining an injury in February, was named Monday as the main cog in a Brazilian team that coach Tite said has a good chance of winning the World Cup in Russia.

"Brazil is one of the favorites given the football it has shown, given its consistency," Tite said at the team announcement in Rio de Janeiro.

He said the national team, seeking a record sixth championship, stands out for "being "aggressive and scoring goals".
