Kaizer Chiefs attacker Kgaogelo Sekgota has tipped tournament favourites Brazil led by superstar player Neymar as one of the stand-out teams at this year's Qatar World Cup.
Sekgota was hailed Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane as a 'star player' in the Amakhosi squad earlier this season. He's also been one of Chiefs' most dangerous attackers this season and earned himself a call-up to the national team.
Bafana Bafana missed out on World Cup qualification after losing a 1-0 to Ghana in November last year. The side's Sekgota believes number-one-ranked Brazil will be the team to watch in Qatar.
"In terms of the Qatar FIFA World Cup starting this weekend, we wish we could have qualified to represent our country," Sekgota told Chiefs official site.
"In camp I hear lots of talk about Brazil, they look good as always and with Neymar currently playing well, I think they will do well in this World Cup."

Brazil has been grouped in Group G alongside Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon. The five-time World Cup champions will be hoping to get their campaign off to a good start when they take on Serbia on Thursday, 24 November.
Meanwhile back home, Sekgota was brought on a second-half substitute during Bafana's 2-1 win against Mozambique on Thursday night.
The 24-year-old will be hoping to get some more game time under his belt when Bafana lock horns with Angola on Sunday.
The home side will be looking to make it four wins from four as preparations continue for the next year's Afcon qualifiers.
