🟢🟡🟠🔴 = likelihood of a start
Assisting you with those nailed on starters and highlighting which options come with risk 🔎
Follow me for more, I’ll be predicting the lineups every MatchDay 🫡
Starting with:
BRAZIL 🇧🇷
7 nailed on starters
With Wesley out for the tournament, Danilo should replace him at right back
Douglas Santos has impressed during friendlies, but the favourite to start at left back is still Alex Santos, I’d avoid both regardless
The striker position still feels up for grabs, Cunha the favourite for it, but Igor Thiago has potential
Paqueta started in Brazil’s final friendly, but there’s a whole host of players who could take that final spot
@CentralCR7BR Bruno Fernandes was motm against 2022 (Ghana)
Moutinho was motm against (Marokko) 2018
Dauda from Ghana was motm against Portugal in 2014
And there’s no data for the 2010 WC he only has 1 against Spain in the 2018 WC
Cristiano Ronaldo at the 2022 World Cup: “I’d like to be the one to checkmate [Lionel Messi].”
We could potentially see Messi and Ronaldo face off in the quarterfinals at the 2026 World Cup — what is likely their last chance to play against each other at a World Cup 👀🍿
He who laughs last, laughs best. Remember when they mocked Messi for not winning any international trophies? Now look at how the story changed. And you think we won’t cook Ronaldo fans too? 😂
🚨Israel’s PM Netanyahu says he has ordered the IDF to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip
Netanyahu: “At this point, we are fully in control of 60% of the territory of the Gaza Strip… and my directive is to get to… 70%”
Audience member: “100! 100!”
Netanyahu: “Wait, let’s go in order. First 70%. Let’s start with that.”
Israel had withdrawn to 53% of Gaza after the ceasefire brokered by the US last October, but has steadily expanded control to over 60%, maps show.
