Brazil's seemingly irresistible march to their first ever Olympic men's football title continues on Tuesday night when they take on South Korea at Old Trafford.
Mano Menezes's team have looked imperious for much of the tournament in London, which is hardly a surprise considering the incredible amount of young but experienced talents on show.
However, they will come up against stubborn opposition in these Games in the form of South Korea.
A place against either Mexico or Japan in the Wembley final on Saturday awaits the winner of this tie.
With established star players like Neymar, Hulk, Alexandre Pato, Marcelo and Thiago Silva plus some of the most coveted young attacking players in world football such as Leandro Damiao, Lucas Moura and new Chelsea signing Oscar, Brazil have been favourites from the word go and lived up to that billing.
In their four matches thus far, Brazil have won all of them, scoring three goals in each of their four games so far. Between them, Leandro and Neymar have scored seven of those, including all three in the 3-2 quarterfinal win over Honduras.
Olympic gold is the one prize to have eluded the great Seleccao, World Cup winners a record five times. They lost back-to-back finals in Los Angeles 1984 and Seoul 1988, while their bronze medal in Beijing four years ago was the second time they have come third in the competition.
When neighbours Uruguay and Argentina can both boast two gold-medal victories each, it becomes clear just how much of a burning desire there is in Brazil to win this elusive title. That is why they enlisted the services of former World Player of the Year Ronaldinho four years ago, and why they have gone much further to pack the squad with stars this time around.
