Arsenal.

 

[The Curr]

That's the worst Brazil WC squad I've ever seen.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

I don't know half of those players...

 

[ALC]

Really? I think it looks pretty good. Amazing defense, solid mid and Neymar.

 

[Mister]

Who does Chelsea play for?

. Without chelsea its 23 players .

Exactly. When was the last time Brazil's defense was the best part about their squad?

 

[CrimsonianKing]

5 holding midfielders Scolari being Scolari.

Decent line-up, but Miranda should've definitely been picked over Henrique

Meh, it's still a great team imo. If he plays Luiz as a DM, he then has Oscar, Ramires, and Willian in midfield providing service to Neymar and one of Fred/Hulk/Jo and they can totally win. It's like Chelsea but with awesome strikers.

My Brazilian friends are going berserk about it.

 

[JuveJay]

Strong spine to the team, but Neymar is probably the only traditional 'superstar' for a Brazil team of yesteryear. I like the DC and MC options.

I kind of agree. It's a really solid team, and they're outsiders for the championship. But it's not a fapworthy team.

 

[ALC]

idk about outsiders, the cup is being held in brazil. i think germany has the best team by far but their coach is a dumbass. always failing in semis.

 

[The Curr]

The only creative players in that midfield are Oscar and Willian. They're not exactly Ronaldinho.

Oscar and Ramires haven't been playing well recently.

The likes of Fred and Jo playing up front for Brazil in a home World Cup is laughable really.

The defence looks good, but after that it looks like they'll be hugely reliant on Neymar.

Agreed. But Oscar has a good chemistry with the strikers and his partnership with Hulk and Neymar works like a charm, most of the time anyway. And Fred is nowhere close to Ronaldo but he'll score if given the chance.

You are kidding right? Fantastic striker, you'll see in the tournament.

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Decent striker but he's got what it takes to score goals when the opportunity arises. That first goal against Spain was a very poacher-like of someone who knows his shit. He's not extraordinary or anything like that, but put him beside good players and he'll do what needs to be done.

Precisely what I was thinking.

Is that an invitation to the World Cup?
