Brazil vs Team GB

July 19th, 2012 | by: Black Matt | Comments Off

Brazil play their one pre-Olympic warmup match tomorrow vs Team Great Britain, which as you all know is a squad assembled from England, Wales and Scotland.

Unless something changes in the next twelve hours, Mano will field the same starting XI that played against the USA and Mexico, with the exception of Rafael da Silva starting at right-back in place of the hapless Danilo.

Here’s Brazil’s starting XI:

GK: Rafael
RB: Rafael da Silva
CB: Thiago Silva
CB: Juan
LB: Marcelo
DM: Sandro
CM: Romulo
LW: Neymar
AM: Oscar
RW: Hulk
C: Leandro Damiao

It will be interesting to see if Mano goes with his usual 4-2-3-1 formation, or if he sticks with his experimental 4-3-1-2 that he trotted out against Argentina, moving Oscar deeper and shifting Neymar to the middle of the pitch.

You can use this as your match-day threat for tomorrow’s game.
