Jefferson, Julio César e Victor.

Dante, David Luiz, Henrique e Thiago Silva.

Daniel Alves, Maicon, Marcelo e Maxwell.

Fernandinho, Hernanes, Luiz Gustavo, Oscar, Paulinho, Ramires, Willian.

Bernard, Fred, Hulk, Jô, Neymar.

 

Only ''surprise'' Henrique from Napoli. Really thought Miranda, Dede or Marquinhos were ahead, but Scolari knows him well from his time at Palmeiras. Also, no Atletico Madrid player with Maxwell getting ahead of Filipe Luis.

 

Why no Lucas?

We'll need to get a sub thread or discussion going when most of the 30 or 23s are announced on possible starting 11s or what the best starting 11s are for each nation.

Never performs for the national team and Bernard, Hulk, Ramires and Neymar are preferred. I wouldn't pick Lucas either, too raw.

Korea's squad. I'm surprised that's two teams now who've picked their 23 so early. Can't hurt to have a look at a few of the fringe players during the camp/warmup matches. But I guess I have no clue what the makeup of this Korea team is like, so this might make more sense.

 

Goalkeepers: Jung Sung-ryeong (Suwon Bluewings), Kim Seung-gyu (Ulsan Horang-i), Lee Bom-young (Busan I'Park)

 

Defenders: Kim Jin-soo (Albirex Niigata, Japan), Yun Suk-young (QPR, England), Kim Young-kwon (Guangzhou Evergrande, China), Hwang Seok-ho (Sanfrecce Hiroshima, Japan), Hong Jeong-ho (Augsburg, Germany), Kwak Tae-hwi (Al Hilal, Saudi Arabia), Lee Yong (Ulsan Horang-i), Kim Chang-soo (Kashiwa Reysol, Japan).

 

Midfielders: Ki Seung-yeung (Sunderland, England), Ha Dae-sung (Beijing Guoan, China), Han Kook-young (Kashiwa Reysol, Japan), Park Jung-woo (Guangzhou R&F, China), Son Heung-min (Bayer Leverkusen, Germany), Kim Bo-kyoung (Cardiff City, Wales), Lee Chung-yong (Bolton Wanderers, England), Ji Dong-won (Augusburg, Germany).

 

Forwards: Koo Ja-cheol (Mainz, Germany), Lee Keun-ho (Sangju Sangmu), Park Chu-young (Arsenal, England), Kim Shin-wook (Ulsan Horang-i).

I actually think it's better to call-up the 23 now since it's all about forming a group. This way there's no distraction individually during training. Otherwise players might not be 100% focused on the World Cup itself but more on making the squad.

Preliminary World Cup roster:

Goalkeepers: Manuel Neuer, Roman Weidenfeller, Ron–Robert Zieler

Defenders: Jerome Boateng, Erik Durm, Kevin Grosskreutz, Benedikt Höwedes, Mats Hummels, Marcell Jansen, Philipp Lahm, Per Mertesacker, Shkodran Mustafi, Marcel Schmelzer

Midfielders: Lars Bender, Julian Draxler, Matthias Ginter, Leon Goretzka, Mario Götze, Andre Hahn, Sami Khedira, Toni Kroos, Max Meyer, Thomas Müller, Mesut Özil, Lukas Podolski, Marco Reus, Andre Schürrle, Bastian Schweinsteiger

Strikers: Miroslav Klose, Kevin Volland

 

30-man squad. They have a friendly against Poland next week, and I'm not convinced by that attack or midfield defense whatsoever. Khedira, Özil have all struggled with injuries all season and the lack of Gundogan will be costly I'd believe.
