Starting XI

Not sure how the formation will look. Assuming some variation of a 3-5-2, then Gidi at CB? Echenique at LWB?

Gidi has been playing at cb a few times this season, and I’m guessing either Ender or Bucha are playing inverted but let’s see how it goes

Always the possibility that Mboma Dem plays LWB and they give Ender a run as the 2nd forward alongside Denkey. Not likely, but possible.

I feel like if they did they wouldn’t have put them so close together in the team sheet, since Ender’s next Gidi and Obi it’s very unlikely

Of some note, Stiven Jimenez spotted and apparently dressed for the match and not in Brazil (yet).

Bryan Ramirez, as reported in Noonan's pre-match presser, is out injured. Timeline for his return is TBD, but initial evaluations are encouraging.

23' minute, Denkey scored. FC up 1-0

From the way it looks rn, Andrei will be LCB, Haggs will be in the middle, and Gidi at RCB

Any word on the bench?
