Brazil x Colombia

Dunga will want to show changes from the start, Brasil with the worst team in years was able to beat Colombia's best team in years. Adding falcao to the equation don't change much in my point of view as falcao still needs minutes to get back on track after his injury.

I doubt very much that Brasil will lose this game. If I have to bet I would go for BTTS

wouldnt this team be worst than the WC team ?
what about brazil playing at home and now at neutral venue ?

The players that were called by Dunga are pretty decent.

Goalkeepers: Jefferson (Botafogo), Rafael (Napoli)
Defenders: Maicon (AS Roma), Filipe Luis (Chelsea), Alex Sandro (FC Porto), Danilo (FC Porto), David Luiz (Paris Saint-Germain), Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain), Gil (Corinthians), Miranda (Atletico Madrid)
Midfielders: Fernandinho (Manchester City), Luiz Gustavo (VfL Wolfsburg), Elias (Corinthians), Ramires (Chelsea), Everton Ribeiro (Cruzeiro), Ricardo Goulart (Cruzeiro), Oscar (Chelsea), Willian (Chelsea), Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
Attackers: Hulk (Zenit St Petersburg), Neymar (FC Barcelona), Diego Tardelli (Atletico Mineiro)

Also take in consideration that Brasil has had a long and outstanding parenthood over Colombia.
i don't think venue makes much difference for this Brasil team.

If Colombia wins this match will be surprise just like the 7-1 trashing by Germany, I think at best that Colombia could get draw, they have a good team but Brasil line by line are superior

i am on colombia @ 3.40

brazil called up six locals for this game to test - Jefferson, Gil, Elias, Everton Ribeiro, Ricardo Goulart, and Diego Tardelli... they are not bad and hungry, but they yet to play together and surely they will be given 30 minutes each at least... missing thiago silva and we all saw what brazil defence is like without him... even if someone would offer 50 million + luiz... i still wouldn`t want him on my team

so basicly newly brought team for test regime , whereas colombia has the same squad from WC + falcao... i would say with likes of jay rodrigez....sanchez...cuadrado....falcao versus patched up, newly formed, unproven brazil ..........@ 3.40 is sound
and surely colombians wants more this win than brazil.....

BTW what happened in that semifinal was just very poor tactics by Felipao, the whole team was completely disconnected, they were like chickens without their heads. I think the approach today will be more organized.

Prince88 · 09-05-14, 06:48 PM

i dont see any "pretty decent" in brazil lineup

maicon is ok, but not as good as in 2010 ! felipe luiz, david luiz, miranda, luiz gustavo, ramires, oscar and willian are ok. neymar good
the rest you can throw out

cogiditopapa · 09-05-14, 06:54 PM

I respect your opinion and GL with your bet

Miranda is 1 of the best defender in Europe last season. Should have been called up to the WC team if Scolari is not so stubborn to stick with his favourites.

chuda · 09-05-14, 07:37 PM

BRAZIL: Jefferson, Maicon, Miranda, David Luis, Filipe Luis, Luiz Gustavo, Ramires, Oscar, Willian, Diego Tardelli, Neymar.
COLOMBIA: Ospina, Armero, Zapata, Valdés, Zúñiga, Aldo, Sánchez, James, Cuadrado, Teo, Jackson.
