RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazil head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is ready to put the host nation's World Cup campaign on the line by taking a major selection risk for its semifinal with Germany on Tuesday.

Scolari is faced with a major headache after his best player, Neymar, was injured against Colombia. According to speculation in the Brazilian media, he is leaning toward Bernard, the most untested member of his attacking group, as the chosen replacement.
