Apologies for the silence yesterday, planes and trains got in the way (but not cars)...
A brief overview before the line-ups are announced:
A pleasingly difficult one to pick for this match between two great footballing nations. A cursory glance at the Argentina squad reveals such Picklive powerhouses as Demichelis, Zanetti, Heinze, Zabeleta, Mascherano and Messi. It's a good job that Cambiasso and Tevez are out... And for Brazil; Alves, Alex and Lucas are the kind of rock-solid picks Picklive dreams are made of. Most fives will be made up of those players I guess but if you fancy a bit of a gamble then maybe di Maria or Pastore could do well, the latter particularly after a hat-trick at the weekend.
International friendlies are always going to be difficult as there will probably be a lot of substitutions around. This will add a huge slab of randomness to proceedings and these tips. Finding an edge either relies on luck or assuming something about a player e.g. Ronaldinho didn't play at the weekend so, if he starts, may be worth a gamble as he would be more likely to finish the 90 then someone who played on Sunday.
Tips: I would pick Messi, 3 solid players like Silva, Lucas, Mascherano, Demichelis and/or Zanetti. And finish it off with Alves or take a punt on someone like Pastore.
