Brazil named starting line-up

Brazil confidently named the starting line-up their opening World Cup match against Croatia next month.
‘The team which starts the Cup will be the same one which finished the qualifiers, we have to be coherent.’ said coach Carlos Alberto Parreira.
Brazil began the World Cup qualifier against Venezuela in October, their last competitive match with Dida in goal, a back four of Cafu, Juan, Lucio and Roberto Carlos, Emerson and Ze Roberto as the defensive midfielders, plus the attacking quartet of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka and Adriano.
This must be some kind of early mind-games played by the favourite and current champion. It’s either showed their total confidence of beating Croatia or total stupidity because it allows their opponent to study the game featuring those exact lineups in action. But with talents they have, it’s easier said than done though
