Neymar (PSG) - Jesus (Manchester City) - Coutinho (Barcelona)
Bench: Alisson (Roma) Miranda (Internazionale) Douglas Costa (Juventus) Firmino (Liverpool) Willian (Chelsea) Fernandinho (Manchester City) Alex Sandro (Juventus)
Absolute state of that midfield. They'll get killed by any one of Germany, France, Spain and Belgium.

Casemiro is the best defensive midfielder right now. Fabinho is excellent in marking and defending. They'll both provide the posession of the ball in the midfield and mark the other team. Meanwhile Paulinho will act as a link between the midfield and the attack, while Coutinho and Neymar will be the playmakers.
biggest strength is probably our solid as fuck midfield, CBs and GKs
biggest weakness is lack of depth in fullback and striker positions
Jayden Flores
>bunch of babbies who hide in Ligue 1
When things go wrong they'll dive, toss their arms around and cry to the ref and none of them will pull their socks up, face the pressure be accounted for.
Anthony Moore
2 CDMs and a hole player do not make a good midfield, the only creative players are playing on the wings and if they try to be playmakers you'll have no wingers. Coutinho should play in Fabinho's place and either Costaor or Willan takes his place on the wing
Brayden Hernandez
>coutinho should play in the middle
why, he is already barely visible as the winger and will score a blooter or a nice individual set up.
him in the middle will just be one man less in the whole team
Cameron Thomas
Add Süle and Draxler to that list. I agree with the rest.
Parker Johnson
care to explain what you mean?
Oliver Diaz
We're overhyping this team's capacities, just like we did one year prior to the last World Cup. In fact, every single time we overhype a team, they blow it big time.
Alexander Mitchell
as a brown person i really would like Brazil to win as they are the only intrinsically brown country that has a good shot at winning the WC France isnt fundamentally brown like brazil is
Robert Wood
he believes our mistake in 2014 was the players being shit selected. and not just Felipão being one of the worst coaches ever
Asher Thompson
how do you expect to compete with the stacked midfield of Spain/Germany/France when you don't have a single creative player in the middle?
Jace Williams
how was Felipão a shit coach in 2014?

You won't win shit mate. You need real men to actually win stuff.
Also : 7-1.

i'm talking about the midfield in OP's formation
Mason Anderson
2014 was Scolari's mistake. He changed tactics and formations right before the game against Germany, even Alves said it, something would obviously go wrong looking at the way he was handling the team.
Liam Rogers
Thought Brazil were favourites but when you post the team like that I change my mind. No creativity in midfield and 3 old/shit PSG defenders + Marcelo who's been terrible this season.
Matthew Reed
Baulinho > GOAT > maybe try coutinhO niBBa
Grayson Brown
kill yourself if you think all those teams have a creative midfield. Germany have one of the most pragmatic midfields of all time, yeah the system works, but just because the system is too good and the cogs work well together, they have 0 creativity in a tight situation.
Kroos is one of the worst midfielders in that aspect. he is a pace setter, and a brilliant ball mover, but that is it, he dies when you need a sparkle of emotion, maybe a long shot, or a difficult pass.
Spain has a decent midfield with great support from the forwards, but it is a new unproven system, we will see.
France is pretty similar to Brazil i think, with Rabiot being one of the most underrated midfielders right now
i couldn't care less about the NT, but you really need to stop the hype with european "creativity", specially considering the recent euro cup and how devoid of creativity the whole tournament was
Henry Perry
>>Marquinhos (PSG) >literally who? The best defender we currently have
>Fabinho (Monaco) >literal who A really good defensive midfielder, but perhaps Fernandinho should take his place.
Ancient tactics, David Luiz positioning (which lead to 7-1), midfield protection, Fred in the squad, Daniel Alves defensive methods, media Management (they let a fucking jew stop a training session to record a tv show) , all our training sessions being open to the press, over dependence from Nerman, lack of creative style of play, lack of bench options.
And the worst part is: Tite is doing exactly the same.
John Walker
Marquinhos is a great defender.
Josiah Jones
>Ligue 1 Sorry, they're shit
Cameron White
lol that midfield is almost as bad as Englel
Nathan Flores
>And the worst part is: Tite is doing exactly the same. I agree with everything but that. Tite has been great so far, he has just done some questionable calls like Taison and Renato Augusto when there are far better options available.
Nathaniel Barnes
i guess whats funny about paulinho case is that everyone thought he was going to suck so badly because he came from the chinese league but he did alright in barca
Eli Foster
Well, Ligue 1 is famous for being really defensive, so I think they're good.
Jacob Ward
It's famous for being shit.
Landon Walker
Should call up Fred from Shakhtar
Adam Torres
horrible coach who thought he could just motivate the players well enough and he would win the world cup.
Fred playing as a lone striker with not a single good midfielder to play between the lines.
picking Bernard over Willian when Neymar got injured against Germany.
2 full backs who were primarily wingers and had no coverage from the actual wingers because Neymar and fucking Hulk would never help the defense.
Paulinho having no space in the midfield because he had to play far back and the attackers had no time to set up a decent play so he was useless 90% of the time
Zachary Kelly
I don't think I'm ready for boring as fuck Germans to equal Brazil's world cup trophy count lads. Why did they go from pic related to a bunch of fuck bois what happened?
Jack Roberts
Brazilians are so fucking cocky lately, now more than ever I wish another 7-1 for you guys. I was sad when 7-1 happened because muh Sudaca brothers, but now you deserve to be wrecked.
Luis Cox
kek, those were dark times
Justin White
>Silva, Iniesta, Saul, Thiago, and Isco are not creative >Ozil, Draxler, and Gundogan are not creative >Pogba and Rabiot are not creative
>he wants to face them with a purely physical midfield of 3 players who can't even control the ball properly
Jayden Kelly
If Brazil doesn't win, France will. France almost defeated Germany in their own home, but Germany scored a lucky goal at the last minutes. And they defeated Germany in the last Euros with a weaker team than the one they currently have.
Lucas Lee
how is the German team boring?
wouldn't be surprised if Germany scored more goals than any other NT since 2010
Jayden Phillips
Lmao post the France NT picture and I'll tell you which country is brown. Maybe you mean that France isn't brown but literally black.
Brayden Fisher
well, fuck you too, buddeh
Nolan Bailey
He's right. Toni Kroos basically epitomise the archetypal German player. Efficient, robust, zero flair. Although it's not necessarily bad because it works
Jason Wood
Alisson (White
Dani Alves (White)
Marquinhos (White)
Coutinho (White)
Samuel Cook
>>Silva, Iniesta, Saul, Thiago, and Isco are not creative
i just said they are creative, i just feel like it is a new team that we can't tell how they will play it >>Ozil, Draxler, and Gundogan are not creative It is an extremely pragmatic midfielder, yeah, like i said.
all those players are pragmatic, Draxler is a good player, but the system is above all those players, and the system is being built for 10 years or so, they don't need creativity, they need good space filling and synergy.
i am not saying this is a bad thing, but when they were in a clutch situation you could see they are not creative.
>>Pogba and Rabiot are not creative don't ever @ me again, Pogba is horrible
Dominic Baker
>being this butthurt That's why your people are known for being cucky manlets
Jaxson Cruz
i hope ur trolling and not the guy ur talking to but I was gonna say that he meant to say that the average citizen in the country is a brown person, unlike i france if u stop trolling france still is a majority white country
Lucas Parker
leave Nerman to me
Isaac Thomas
If only you had a real striker, this would the goat team. I expect germany vs brazil to be a 4-1 germany with brazil trying hard to get in, but get fucked on counter attacks.
Brandon Foster

Ian Carter
>Ozil,
literally only reason he's playing is because of his experience and reus is always injured, 2010 Ozil was better
>Draxler Le run really fast and driblle then miss man.but ok he's creative i give u that

should of said kroos
Isaiah Sullivan

Daniel Baker
Go explode yourself sandnigger
Nolan Lewis
that france game was more of "germany losing" then france winning , 1st goal was a penalty that was not deserved, 2nd goal was a legit goal but was germany's mistake for not clearing an easy ball
also Khedira, Boatang, and their only striker Gomez were injured for this game.
Now germany have better strikers and better midfielders since 2016
only in brazil are these gentlemen considered white
Bentley Harris

Tyler Cooper
I feel like creativity is good to have, but now Football is about tactics and a good system more so than creativity. I think creativity was more important in the 90's and 80's when everyone played the same.
Just look at an anlysis between juventus vs barca in the last champions league, and madrid vs juventus. its now more about tactcs than creativity to win big tournaments
Chase Butler
They're considered white by anyone with half a brain, they're just targeted for racism because they're from a third world country.
Nolan Roberts
>dani alves >considered white
Ryder Martinez
>t. the new Argentina apparently
>its now more about tactcs than creativity to win big tournaments ur flag surprises me, yeah, that's how it is, no team could ever be successful with just 1 player. See Portugal in 2016 for reference when Ronaldo got injured like 20 mins into the final, but they still had their team doing team stuff and just playing their game, winning in the end
Evan Morales
>should have This stumps the americano
This all depends on mullel and the form of wagner/gomez/werner.
Angel Rodriguez
>This all depends on müllel and the form of wagner/gomez/werner Thomas M. somehow always delivers in World Cups even though ding shit in every other competition. It's magic.
Werner will be the only striker in Russia. I honestly don't even follow /bundes/ this year since my team is in 2nd /bundes/, but Werner is a young guy who is still developing and he has to have some mental strength considering the whole country hates him. I guess Werner as striker with Müllel and Draxler on the wings will work out and that's most likely the way Löl will deploy our troops
Noah Ward
>I feel like creativity is good to have, but now Football is about tactics and a good system more so than creativity. I think creativity was more important in the 90's and 80's when everyone played the same.
yeah obviously. that is what i am saying, you need good cogs in the midfield than a flashy passer or a Coutinho in the middle.
Jose Gonzalez
France
Henry Phillips
does Gomez even have a chance to play ? or is he too old?
Zachary Barnes
Well thats true for a team with a solid defense. Brasil does not have that. Teams with a solid defense can afford not playing attacking football with creative elements, Brasil cant play defensive the whole round and hope for counter attacks because they will get efukt. They have to try to keep possession which isnt really possible against good teams with that midfield. Thats the primary issue for me.
Well sort of yes, but he never had a "bad" season before a world cup before. His current season is still pretty decent so it should be alright. I would still play Gomez over Werner because Germany doesnt usually need a fast striker, they need someone who can score headers and for me, thats Wagner or Gomez
Adam Parker
Football reflects culture and your culture is fat women shaking their arses and twinks shitting on bossa nova
Lincoln Roberts
>A brit slagging someones culture Interesting
Eli Martin
Didnt realize hes 32 already, he should still play.
William Kelly
And look at our football team...
Aiden Hughes
Well Gomez has a history of not delivering in the NT, so it could very well be possible that he will play. And Wagner... oh well I'd be surprised if Löw even knew he existed. Werner isn't that bad at headers though. He fits into the team decently
So your culture is dark folks doing shenanigans in groups of 11 to random other people? I thought this was America
Lincoln Williams
>UK >no guns >only knives >knives have a cutting edge
And you know what else has a cutting edge? Harry Kane
Jack Sullivan
Wagner has played quite a few games now (since he moved to Hoffe), has a solid record too. Against shit teams but still. Id honestly be surprised if he wouldnt be called up to the wc.
Sebastian Long
is the england the arsenal of national teams? Can hold their own againts big opponents but misses chances to capitalize againts mediocre teams because lack of leadership?

France has a better team than us, it's a matter of Deschamps making it work
Jaxon Watson
Honestly lads, it's coming home
Kayden Price
I mean Mexico handled Belgium's midfield evenly. So I think this Brazil team has the potential to possibly stomp everyone. They completly dominated the hardest qualifications in the world. They're just too dynamic. Pic related.
Christian Reyes
Maybe as started getting subd out at halftime or as a sub, I thibkcstindl or Werner would be better suited.
Ryder Scott
Friendly reminder Brazils best team couldn't score against our C team
Camden Peterson
That game was completely one sided, in your own home with all your 11 players playing on defense.
Henry Clark
guess what, this is what the world cup will be like until the semi-final, every team parking the bus hoping to win on penalties
