This line baffles me. Colombia has arguably the best player of the tournament so far in James Rodriguez and Brazil hasn't been playing well at all.
Colombia will attack and while that favors Brazil that is a good counter team with Neymar, they are a matchup nightmare for us. Our weakest links are the two side backs. On Brazil they call Daniel Alves an avenue because he leaves a lot of space and Cuadrado has been absolutely burying all defenders in this tournament. Marcelo is also not doing very well.
Luiz Gustavo is out for this game. He is the second best player in the team so far aside from Neymar. He covers a fukkton of ground from the midfielders and the sidebacks when they attack. He is basically a third defensive back. Coach Felipao doesn't know who he will start. He will probably put Dante in and have David Luiz play as a defensive midfielder which I don't think is the best solution. We don't have anyone to what Luiz Gustavo does well in the roster.
Maybe he will put in Hernanes or Paulinho and have Fernandinho play a bit back, but I doubt it.
What worries me a bit about this bet is that they are yet to be tested against a good team, almost everyone they beat are shit even though they stomped everyone except Drogba's team.
Colombia to advance and ML look very juicy. Too bad the line moved a lot already. Liked the opener.
