Brazil coach Tite says the ghost of their 7-1 mauling by Germany at the 2014 World Cup still haunts the Selecao, as the teams prepare to meet tonight. "This has a huge psychological meaning — no one needs to fool themselves about that," Tite said. "The 7-1 from the World Cup is like a ghost. People still talk about it, but the more you talk about it, the less this 'ghost' disappears. It won't be a sporting challenge, but a emotional challenge too."
