Probably the competition everyone least cares about but a trophy is a trophy. Going to see some new faces today. 18 players called up: GK: Salin, Pedro Silva DEF: Andre Pinto, Ristovski, Tobias Figueiredo, Mathieu, Jonathan Silva MID: Acuna, Bruno Cesar, Battaglia, Mattheus Oliveira, Iuri, Petrovic, Palhinha ATT: Dala, Doumbia, Podence, Alan
lol yeah, figured I'd still make a thread, silverware is silverware like you say, I'd expect Salin Ristovski Tobias Pinto Jonathan Palhinha Mattheus Oliveira Iuri Bruno Cesar Podence Doumbia Podence's hand must be good if he's been called up. Would be a good oppurtunity to get him back into game rhythm. Will be nice to get an actual look at Ristovski as well.
Looks like it's gonna be Salin Ristovski Andre Pinto Tobias Jonathan Petrovic Mattheus Oliveira Bruno Cesar Iuri A. Ruiz Doumbia
Well it hasn't been a bad start. Ristovski good so far IMO. Doumbia had a good chance but should've done better.
0-0 HT. With 9 new faces it was to be expected, although Iuri again has been very disappointing. Ristovski has been good
Podence in for Mattheus Oliveira Acuna in for Iuri Not really what you want to see out if either of them inside 60 minutes. Doumbia's had a couple good chances.
0-0 FT Not necessarily a bad game, mediocre though. I think it was just evident this group hasn't had much game time together. Some good play here and there but nothing on the end. Doumbia could've had 2 himself. Good showing from Ristovski IMO, solid defensively, very solid, and capable with the ball.
Didn't see the whole game, but looks like Iuri disappointed again. Good to see Podence again, Bruno Cesar, Jonathan and Ristovski especially had good games. Matheus Oliveira has some skill too. The purpose of the game was served. We know who the main players are for the first XI and this was to see which players can be viable alternatives in case of a sub or injury.

Must-win considering we tied the first game. But not a priority competition so expect to see some rotation.
