Brazil starting XI

Brazil coach Mano Menezes has named his starting line-up against Bafana Bafana

Posted: 7 September 2012 Time: 09:32 am

Brazil coach Mano Menezes has named his starting line-up for tonight's friendly international against Bafana Bafana.

There are no surprises in the starting XI, which features key playmaker Neymar, while Barcelona right-back Dani Alves has overcome a thigh strain to start.

The Chelsea trio of centre-back David Luiz, and midfielders Ramires and Oscar both start, along with the highly-rated Sao Paulo star Lucas Moura, who will play at his club's home ground.

Vasco da Gama defender Dede will partner David Luiz at centre-back, with Real Madrid left-back Marcelo next to them.

Spartak Moscow winger Romulo has also been included, while up front will be Neymar and Internacional striker Leandro.

Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves will be the player that Bafana will have to beat between the sticks.

The line-up is fairly inexperienced at this level, with just 170 caps between them, an average of 15 per player.

The match in Sao Paulo kicks off at 20h45 South African time and will be live on Sabc 1.

Benni must put pressure on Luiz,the guy cracks under presure at Chelsea mostly wit his side kick John Terry lol.Yeye shud start n scare Oscar out,my only concern is wit Khune especialyn if Hulk is introduce,that guy can take long range shots.Brazilians always struggle against African teams n we must capitaliz bt they r dangerous on front of their home fans

Your point is....?

Josta's mother is not a chiefs player, what she does in her private life is non of Josta's business. I am sure nawe kukhona amasela akini; or in your extended family but that doesn't make you one...Get a life!

@ Cmash,

This has to do with soccer. Simple math:

Josta's mother = Josta = KC player.

The famous bag = black & yellow = KC colours = gift from Jessica = family business

2 braz = gifts for son Josta & his girl friend K Jnr = KC player = family business member.

Dried fruit = snack for chimpz/ KC fans = Guccie, Faka icondom kukhwela uMathe manje, Kosiology Feelosopher, you, etc.

Panties = underwear of choice by KC players.

etc....

I'm sure looking at the pic above , the reality start to crip in , especially on Genivive/Anonymus and whole lot of crap cHiv supporters.

The failures we had in BB fold , are going to dissappoint us AGAIN , we all know who are they.
the bone of contention was failures are always getting call up despite their poor showing , Teko also agreed with me on that.

Maporo stop exposing yourself broer. Daily Sun is for people with low esteem & gossipers. We talk about Brasil line up & how G.I. should counter it. Unless if you are lost.

Double standards, a paradox. You Thiefs are hypocrites. So tell is Dr Khoza and Manto your age mates coz you and your fellow THIEF frands are always insulting them.
Live with it baba, you are in a family of thiefs and we can't ignore that.
