10 minutes in. Lloris very lucky to not have conceded in the first minute after being closed down by Hulk and Neymar

I know it's just friendlies but this is an underwhelming Brazil team at the moment.

and Oscar scores. And then almost scores again

Looking better now. Still not sure about their central midfield though, compared to some of the European ones. Gustavo and Sandro are good holding/defensive mids, but I don't know if they can win a World Cup with two destroyer types (when Germany have Schweinsteiger, Italy have Pirlo, Spain have Xavi, etc.) Maybe Hernanes can play there. Sandro isn't even healthy at the moment.

Actually it was probably a foul by Gustavo which led to the first goal.

Spain U21 on through to the semi finals.

Title defense is going well.

Goose is gonna frick people up but he actually is a pretty decent passer but yeah, he needs to be paired with a guy who will provide some stability.

Even Sandro's fairly skilled, but compared to some of the European teams I'm not sure it would really match up.

Who knew that Jo (from Man City and Everton) was on the Brazilian national team? I did not.

Yeah, and as a consequence, their front four looks pretty isolated whenever Alves and Marcelo are held back. When that front four is composed of two promising young players, a journeyman striker, and Hulk who spends 75% of his time picking the ball up 40 yards from goal and shooting, you are going to look pretty disjointed.
