Brazil

Surprised no Roberto Firmino though. He's going to be a magnificent player.

He's really unknown here in brazil. And he might be a great player someday, but Scolari would never call a player he hasn't called before.

Y?!

What does he have to do with this WC?

 

[beautifulgame]

This is a far better team than any combination of that squad:-

Diego Alves

Rafinha - Dede - Miranda - Filipe Luis

Fernando Reges - Sandro

Lucas Moura - Phil C - Firmino

Lima
​

Subs: Kaka, Robinho, Alex, Marquinhos, Raffael, Leandro Damaio, Lucas Leiva, Pato

Brazil team is really thin. Their defense is very solid and Neymar as the focal point does make take away from the lack of depth on the team.

You guys understand that it essentially the same team from the confederations cup that thrash Spain and Italy in the confederation cup.

Scolari goes by international form and chemistry over talent and popularity.Lucas Moura hasn't played well for Brazil. He's very talented but he couldn't outperform Bernard which I said form > talent.

Miranda and Felipe are disappointing omissions but Miranda would of been 4th choice, does it even matter, they rarely play. He's not starting over Luiz and Silva who has been the starters under Scolari in fact both are his captains. In Felipe case, it just Maxwell did well in Marcelo absence in a couple of games so I'm guessing that why he got the nod, Felipe wasn't bad when he played for the NT though. Coutinho probably deserved a call up before hand to evaluate but his spot is pretty competitive.

Fred and Jo are not typical Brazilian forwards but Fred has 11 or 12 goals in like 13 games for Scolari. I can't see how you argue that but people just don't like Fred. Not to many Brazil fans care for Jo though. We just don't have the depth at that position. Pato and Damiao are really not that much better. Someone will mention Costa who Scolari did call before he even blew up this season. He played I think 2 friendlies for us. Didn't really show much and he wasn't that good during the Confederation cup to cap-tie him. We blame FIFA more than Scolari for that disaster.

I'd have her in my team.

You keep her in your team I'd have her in my harem

 

[Jenks]

I thought this was England's year?

 

[Ode to Django]

What about Diego Costa

 

[Antimilan]

No Miranda, no Filipe Luis ? At least as subs... damn !

 

[BrazilFan]

What about Diego Costa

FIFA fault. He can play 2 games with Brazil and not get cap-tied but Fernando (Porto) never played for Brazil senior squad is block from playing for Portugal because he's played in the U-20s.

 

[Ghost]

Leaving Filipe Luis out of the WC will remain the worst decision by a football coach till the end of time. No exaggeration. Absolutely disgraceful.

 

[Hamzah]

Marcelo is the starter anyway. He probably brought Maxwell for a more experienced guy and squad dynamics.

 

[Galning]

I'd have her in my team.

Rosell?

 

[DonAK]

Rosell?

Maybe. If its the spanish and brazilian authorities then im not Rosell. Im bob.
