What to say... I think they even "pulled handbreak" in second half.

Should keep Olympics clean from big stars in football and even if you win, nobody cares, see Messi winning in Beijing.

Argentina won the Gold b4,Brazil has never won it so they really care about winning it for the 1st time.IIRC it is the only title they have never won

If he was U-23 I would've said OK, but he's in the 3 non Under list anyway they will choose someone else, I would add restrictions such as max 10 games for the senior team for those who are over aged.

It's a Junior tournament after all, should leave the kids to play, people are more interested in other things at Olympics, many are once every 4 year attractions, most sports supreme international title is the Olympic Gold Medal such as Basketball, Handball or Water Polo >>> the World Cup, football at the Olympics was always less important, even before the 1930 World Cup there mainly amateurs playing.

I think it's a blessing in disguise, which means both Gabigoal & Gabriel Jesus will play alongside with Neymar.

Brazil won't play in Belo Horizonte unless they will be involved in the Bronze Medal Match

Fernando Prass is one of the 3 players over 23, why? A 38 year old goalkeeper.

Second one is obviously Neymar but they could've done better, right?

Prass is there for leadership, he having a good season so far as well. Brazil initially wasn't going to used an overage spot on a keeper but Benfica didn't release Ederson.

It looks like Renato Augusto will take the third overage spot.

Gabigol, Neyma, Jesus, Augusto, Caio and Marquinhos. Very good canarinha.

Rafinha wasn´t injured?

He's fine, played the friendly vs Japan. Renato Augusto took his place.

Augusto is one of the grown players. Makes sense. I forgot Anderson is Felipe Anserson from Lazio.

Great squad.

Thiago Maia also apparently impressed more than Rafa. Hope he gets some minutes today.
