World Cup Squads

[beats1]

Wibery out for France.

Griezmann hasn't been linked with a move other than to arsenal. I think thats going to change now

 

[Partizan]

Ribery and Grenier out, Cabella and Schneiderlin in

Likely to start?

Likely to start?

I think so he is their best winger at the moment, they will be stupid imo if they start Valbuena. The only thing is Griezmann has only 3 caps

Benzema
Griezmann ------------------ Remy
Pogba Cabaye
Matuidi
Evra Sakho Koscielny Sagna
Lloris
​

In theory a well balanced team and potential dark horses but that defence has been dodgy as fuck for the National team

They should start Varane, looked solid in CL final. Was thinking Griezmann for fantasy football purposes but currently got Di Maria,Kroos, Paulinho and Fabregas.

The spanish are saying its either Fabregas or Torres for the striker spot.

Kroos, didnt start the last match against Cameroon but Ozil hasn't been great recently, best to ask @Lufti if he will start.

Paulinho and Di Maria are nailed imo, that said Paulinho didnt make the squad for the Panama game

It's a tough one - people really aren't sure how it's gonna work. He did start against Cameroon though. People aren't sure whether Schweinsteiger is going to start and whether Khedira will given the injuries both have endured this season. I'm pretty sure Kroos will start but the question is whether it will be in CDM or CAM. It's a possibility that Özil will come out and Klose will go in, with Götze dropping back into CAM. Also, the other question is whether Lahm will play in midfield or at right back. If he plays in midfield then it's a possibility Kroos will be moved further forward with Özil being dropped.

They're playing again tonight so I'll report back afterwards

I know lahm said no to LB, but with schmelzer out surely he might play there

Fairly sure Durm will be playing LB to be honest. He played more this season than Schmelzer this year, and he was good against Cameroon.

In other news, Nasri must be pissed now that Ribery is out and he's not been able to go

@beats1

Interesting. Boateng is playing right back and they're trying Höwedes at left back. Would seem they have decided who'll take up the left back role and are given Benni a chance there. Lahm plays in midfield, Schürrle comes into the team and Kroos plays CAM

Scrap that, would seem a 4-3-3 has been deployed with Kroos and Lahm either side of Khedira in the middle 3

I think it will be Varane in defense with Sakho, depending on his fitness.
Remy won't start, it will be Valbuena on the right. Always good with NT.
(and Cabaye is the DLP, not Matuidi)

I know about about Matuidi but those 3 would go up and down

Varane over Koscielny thats a big call.

I thought Remy was liked by Didier

I feel sorry for Kroos he is underrated imo or under appreciated when compared to the rest of the German AM's

Lahm and Khedira in the middle against Armenia

Brazilian team

Fred

Neymar ---------------- Hulk
Oscar
Gustavo Paulinho

Marcelo -- Luiz - Silva -- Alves
Cesar​

 

[beats1]

Brazil not playing in a world cup stadium since it isn't finished and instead are playing in Sao Paulos stadium as both world cup stadiums in the city are still under construction

 

[Partizan]

Just read that Reus injured his ankle and went off crying. WC in jeopardy?

 

[Partizan]

Shirokov from Russia also went off injured in their earlies match with Morocco and it seems like he's out of the tournament aswell. Fucking hell, these few days have been miserable for some nations

Didn't look good, had two guys carry him off. Gone straight to hospital for scans

Do you think that hampers your chances at the world cup or you still confident you guys can win it?

Germany looked better once Podolski came on and they had more width to be honest
