I think they looked to have a soft centre last night, but weren't punished for it. Casemiro WAS their midfield, but if they reigned it in just slightly and put Bruno alongside him they'd be really dangerous.It's not fun saying it but Bruno has been superb for them.
Tbf there's also Argentina in that mix. But I get it, it's a bit like the old firm in the Scots Prem really, even if not quite to that level of disparity.This current Brazil crop have only actually won one 1 Copa America, a tournament they should never expect to lose against Chile/Uruguay etc.
Oh yes, although Brazil is a much bigger country than Argentina. But I just mean that in recent years they’ve regularly lost out to the likes of Chile etc.Tbf there's also Argentina in that mix. But I get it, it's a bit like the old firm in the Scots Prem really, even if not quite to that level of disparity.
Those stars are for past achievements and don't reflect the current quality of the squad. They had the same number of stars when germany tonked them 7-1 on their own turf.How many stars are on the Brazil shirt.
Let’s not get carried away.
A case for shaw over Sandro too. Sandro has declined a lot over the last few yearsFrom the starting line ups of the WC games....
Alisson
Trippier - Marquinhos - Stones - Alex Sandro
Bellingham - Casemiro
Raphinha - Neymar - Vinicius Junior
Kane
Although there's a case for Walker ahead of Trippier, Foden ahead of Raphinha, and maybe Bruno ahead of Casemiro
