Brazil Starting Line-up, If up to you...

[Amir H F]

Ok this thread might be pointless but because Brazil have SO many talented players and so many different possible line-ups I wanted to see what some of you would choose (or any other loaded powerhouse team), here is mine:

(3-5-2)

------------------Dida---------------------
-----Cafu--------Lucio--------R.Carlos-----
----------------Emerson------------------
-------Juninho------------Rivaldo----------
-----------------Kaka---------------------
---------------Ronaldinho-----------------
------Ronaldo-------------Robinho---------

It kind of resembles more of a 3-1-3-1-2 that is specifically made by me for this squad...I recently slightly prefer Robinho to Adriano so I put him in there instead, and I know it most likely wont happen and Rivaldo probably wont be invited but just imagine! Wow! Hands down world cup champs with this line-up!

replace robinho with adriano and rivaldo with Ze roberto and you have my lineup.

No way man I think Rivaldo with his experience and talent should get the start over Ze Roberto any day (even though he wont), and Robinho/Adriano is debatable but I went with Robinho.

By the way interesting to see you agree, usually people bash the 3 defender system, but with Brazil there is just too many talented midfielders to bench!

yeah, and the other defenders arent very good, roque junior, edmilson, I mean they arent bad or anything, but maybe having to bench juninho or Kaka to make room for them!?

what r u talking about DEBATE...
Adriano eats Robinho ALIVE......
this man is a monster and one of the best strikers today....are u kidding me?

[aidin]

nice, only thing i have against it is both Kaka and Ronaldinho ain't gonna work, it will be like Lampard and Gerrad. you either push Robinho more to the wing and move Ronaldinho forward (3-4-3), or put Ronaldinho onto wing and take of Robinho for Adriano cos i cant see Robinho as a proper stiker.
thats considering your gonna have them play rigid and disciplined or go all 1970s dutch style where they had no formation.

Well I have always been a Adriano fan over Robinho and I really was surprised when people would even consider Robinho over him...but eventually watching more R.Madrid games I realized what people see in this kid, he is young and a very very talented striker who will explode when given the chance...Adriano on the other hand is a forward very similar to Ronaldo but yet very solid as well, though inconsistent at times....so I finally thought IF it were up to me Id mix em up a bit and put in that combo to start it out and bring Adriano in at the 2nd half if it doesnt work well but I guess it could very well be the other way around as well...

yea I mean u ve got ur opinion
but trust me if brazil is going to start robinho and bench a forward it will be Ronaldo
Adriano is Amazing man.....forget about his problems in Inter
when ur playin for ur country and in the world cup, it s different.....
I d pick Adriano over Ronaldo any given day....
he is the most complete striker ever......
Even Henry of course is better but he sucks at headers
Adriano, shevchenko, and Makaay are the most complete strikers today
they ve got decent speed
awsome in the air
shot accuracy just amazing
skills
behind the 18 damage

Yeah well you have a good point...with how out of form (and out of shape) Ronaldo has been in recent times a combo of Robinho and Adriano might even be better now that I think about it, but I dont think anyone in Brazil has the balls to bench Ronaldo...just like with us and Daei! Adriano and Robinho will only get better with time.

Oh really? Damn I guess its what was expected. So no Juninho and I guess Adriano will start over Robinho. And Rivaldo will not be invited! Why cant they be creative every once in a while...Ze Roberto sucks compared to some others they have.
