Kinda funny that Richarlison "re-tweeted" a post that said he was Brazils first choice striker and Gabriel was last choice CB

Jesus is done for good. His knee injuries caught up, needs to move on and resurrect his career elsewhere.
Good on Gabriel to get in, has to be a starter. Martinelli lucky to get in, been very poor.

They are not very good these days, lack magic and will be very reliant on Vinicius JR. They’ve been pure shiete in World Cup qualifying.
Argentina should win this although Uruguay are also capable
