Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has said that he wishes that the World Cup was starting right now as he is anxious to get the national side's campaign underway.
Scolari said that there is no points trying to do too much this close to the tournament, even though it would be good to better prepare the Brazilian squad ahead of the June 12 opener.
Scolari said that it is time to get the World Cup going, Fox News reported.
The coach said that after the tournament starts there is not a lot to think about, as it is just 'do or die' situation.
Scolari would be trying to bag his second World Cup trophy with Brazil having led them the 2002 team to the title, the report added.
