Brazil vs Norway today. I need y’all to give your pick.
Gabriel and Marquinhos are in good form this WC. Can they stop a Haaland and Sorloth duo? Gabriel, maybe? But Marquinhos is not a physicality merchant. Brazil’s chance creation with Vini from the wing is to be noted. Pedersen is NOT keeping up.
Assuming Martinelli is starting ahead of Neymar, most likely, he’d start as a box-to-box and would be involved in the attack once again, since he loves crashing the box. Casemiro is a good anchor man for Brazil, and he’s played decently in the last 3 games. But Berg is generally more defensive, and makes more forward passes. Odegard would genuinely be the better playmaker on the pitch. He’s had great form, and has given an assist or scored a goal in all matches he’s started this season. I’d take Rayan over Sorloth as a RW, since Sorloth often drifts inside to support the 9. That’s why it’d be overwhelming for Marquinhos and Gabriel.
Yap aside, if Brazil picks up a perfect harmony in this match it’s over for the Vikings. But generally I want Norway to win because I wanna see KLOL crash out, so my money’s on them.
