If we're going pure performance rather than this being an 'actual team' and needing balance, then I'd have Vidal instead of Mascherano and I'd squeeze Cuadrado in somewhere.
No Neymar?...thought with the entire nation resting on his shoulders on top of the intense pressure of playing in a world cup anyway....the kid did good
Very good! excellent work original poster though not much to fault except Neymar in for James....and i disliked Brazil as the next man in this world cup
If Messi scores a hat-trick to lift the trophy on Sunday I'd be tempted to include him as a sub, despite him having had a couple of anonymous performances. Stranger things have happened !
How can you leave Thiago Silva out?? The man is a true leader and imo was as big a loss as Neymar in the semi if not bigger cos there was no leadership on show
Perhaps we should wait until it's over before picking, just in case there's more embarrassment like this.
I wouldn't have any Brazilian defender anywhere near the centre of my defence. Seriously, David Luiz? He's a terrible centre half.
Are you just trying to be controversial? Luiz is a defender that has little sense of danger. In other words he's not a defender.
I know laying bets is risky but with Luiz and Silva together in club football next season I might lay PSG.
Based on performances from what I saw. Neuer Lahm Hummels Thiago Silva Yedlin Schweinsteiger James Rodriguez Neymar Muller Robben Van Persie
Neuer Zabaleta Hummels Gonzalez Blind Kroos Mascherano Schweinsteiger J.Rodriguez Muller Robben Subs: Navas, R.Rodriguez, Vlaar, Garay, Khedira, Messi, Neymar
