Just thought we could do with its own thread for this, noticed ciman played at back for belgium last night, not in game. Fagner not in for brazil who could get the nod over danilo. Why cant it just be easy to know teams defences

Belgium - probably one of the most straightforward starting XI’s. Kompany went off injured in their previous friendly so whether he is fit or not, who knows, but would be a risky pick even if named in starting XI.

3-4-3
Courtois
Alderweireld-Kompany-Vertonghen
Meunier-De Bruyne-Witsel-Carrasco
Mertens-Lukaku-Hazard

Ozil struggling to be fit for 1st game according to sky

Is Carvajal expected to play the first game?

De Gea
Carvajal - Pique - Ramos - Alba
Busquets - Thiago
Silva - Isco - Iniesta

About time we started a new thread, can we ban the words “daisy” and “chain” from it
And I know what you mean about defence it’s why friendlies don’t help!!!

Anyone have any news on boateng (GER) if he's fit and is he expected to start the 1st game

Yeah my bad.Copy/Paste error.

Hi,

Does anyone know how Uruguay are likely to line up defensively?

Godín & Giménez nailed on, the rest anyone's guess.

Thanks, might have to wait for the starting line up then or go for 2 from elsewhere.

Brazil midfielder Fred, who is close to joining Manchester United, injured an ankle in training a week before the start of the World Cup.

United have agreed a £47m deal for the 25-year-old Shakhtar Donetsk player, with his move to Old Trafford expected to be completed soon.

Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar described the injury, which happened in London, as a "trauma in his ankle".

Brazil begin their World Cup campaign against Switzerland on 17 June.

The five-time winners play further Group E matches against Costa Rica and Serbia in Russia.

Lasmar added: "At the moment it is too early to say anything about him.

"On Friday, we watch to see what happens and then decide if we need to do any exams or not."

Lanzini ruled out with injury

Yeah, that's what my Sky Sports and Who Scored apps say as well. More than likely a precaution for both players.

Caceres should play one of the full back positions but the other one is up for grabs between Pereira and G Silva although Pereira played whole game tonight and G Silva didn’t leave the bench. This would suggest its their starting back 4. Pretty irrelevant at the moment though as DT haven’t got Caceres or Pereira listed

Thought Perreira was up against Varela at right back do the Silva up against Caceres at left back?

The full backs have had a lot of rotation all through the qualifiers and they have all been swapping flanks too so a little bit hard to work out. Caceres started the last 3 qualifying games though but missed a few games in the middle. Not sure if this was due to injury. But I’d predict Caceres will get left back although he can play right back too.

For all those wanting England blocks
