Any Brazilians or La Liga watchers know much about Diego Alves and why he doesn't feature for Brazil? Always thought he was quality, but I honestly haven't seen him much in the last year or so.
He's been solid this year, but in the past, he's had a tendency of being inconsistent.

Oh, I didn't expect such optimism - good for you. Who might be in that dream line up?
Woah! France are good, but they're not unstoppable. Despite having a good team on paper, they've done nothing over the last few years.

Something like:

Hart
Clyne - Smalling - Cahill - Baines
Carrick
Henderson - Wilshere
Sterling - Rooney - Welbeck

Neymar is 5 goals behind Zico in the top scorers in Brazilian history.

Much better from Brazil. France needs to take the foot of the brake. A creative midfielder would help. Also, bring on Lacazette.

Neymar's international record doesn't do much for me when you break it all down an look at the number of friendlies he's played against dross.

43 in 61 is pretty incredible at the age of 23, whatever way you look at it.

All internationals play most of their games against dross, not just Neymar. And Neymar's record against the better teams is actually good.

Yep, as I thought, France are shite. Missing Pogba and Lloris maybe.
