The most in-form for sure. That being said, Casemiro is the only sure thing in that central midfield.

Yeah, biggest weakness. But not having great fullbacks and someone defensively sound for once like Danilo could potentially benefit this team. However, an injury to Alex Sandro would be fucked.

Martinelli Thought he was going ti pick Firmino instead.

Where have you seen this? 26th man squad to be unveiled in 5.5 hours. Doubt we’ll see him, but would suggest he’s an option in case of injury to Fred.

We’re the better side despite playing with 10 men. Impressed.

Another very very good game.

I thought his behaviour was fair enough today. But also the first time in ages I feel he’s been right about something.

Fred is an average footballer and I hate him for the nt. But fuck, he was everywhere today. Must’ve been the player with most touches.

Obviously his contract said he was supposed to be their best player but he has been outshone by Neymar and Messi and despite his goals in Ligue 1 been absolutely dreadful.

tbf they all seem to be. No idea how Tsimikas hasn’t been sent off or even booked for that matter.

He’s not, but that’s because he’s quite new to the team and Tite hates making to many changes to his system. After the World Cup I think Brazil will build around him and Fabinho as the midfield pairing.

Said back in January when we signed him that he’s similar to a Gundogan as a player. However, it’s more Gundogan that is similar to Bruno now. What a player. Never thought he’d adapt this well to the league.

What is this lineup?

Players had the day off yesterday after the game against Ghana in Le Havre. Back in training today before the game against Tunisia in Paris, hence Disneyland yesterday.

Sent back to Newcastle as he won't be fit to play against Tunisia on Tuesday.

Geremi. Not sure the climate aspect works as the game was in France.

Should watch Brazil instead. Murdering Ghana right now.

Richy Rich has scored twice in the opening 40mins for Brazil. Worlds greatest player.

@Mike

Brazilian newspaper saying he had to miss training yesterday and will most probably miss the game tomorrow. Not cut though, so a chance he plays a part in the friendly against Tunisia next week.

Bruno got a knock for Brazil as well and will miss the friendly tomorrow...

Not enough. Should get a jail sentence as well. Idiot.

I'm not sure this time around. Not sure I can feel the same amount of emptiness and pain that I felt back in 2014. That being said, second World Cup in a row I've managed conditional Finals ticket for Brazil, so a loss in a semi-final would probably be worse than quarter-finals as well as it would be so close to my dream as a footballing fan
