The Brazilian soccer team has chosen the Columbia Park Training Facility in Morris Township, New Jersey, as its World Cup base camp.

BBC's Brandon Livesay tours the brand-new facility, which is home to Major League Soccer's Red Bull New York. Inside, there is a pool, a sauna room, a lounge and eight football pitches - one of which has the same surface that will be used at Met Life Stadium for the World Cup final.
