Miranda must be about 50 now surely haha.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT - In fact quick search shows he’s only got one cap to his name, a WC qualifier against Chile when they already had top spot in the group sealed.

JamesM82 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Possible that Brazil might be under-rated going into this (at least over here), given what happened in 2014. Much better goalkeeper and look more solid generally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame about the defence. Playing a 2-3-5 formation will always cause issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 No Zlat no party. English pundits raging as lolverpool player Can is left out of Germany squad. Risk taking Neuer but I imagine that's why they put 4 keepers in their preliminary squad just now to see if he's up to scratch first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their first XI should be ridiculous, but I'm not sure how good their depth at centre and right-back is. 39 minutes ago, Blue_e'hm_A_Dee said: German squad..
