      Dream Team World Cup bosses should back Brazil ballers for boost before quarter-final chaos

      by

      SO far the World Cup round of 16 matches have gone the way of the favourites.And while Netherlands v Argentina and England v France are mouthwatering prospects, those match-ups will force Dream Team World Cup managers to use transfers as the majority will have backed assets soon to be in direct competition.
      Before that chaos ensues, gaffers may well feel it’s worth targeting the remaining favourable match-ups, most prominently, Brazil v South Korea this evening.
      Will we see some samba style tonight?Credit: getty
      No disrespect to Paul Bento’s side, who beat a much-changed Portugal outfit to qualify for the knockout stage, but the fact is the five-time world champions will start tonight’s fixture as heavy favourites to progress to the quarter-finals.
      Dream Team World Cup bosses with plenty of transfers remaining could use their daily allotment of three in an attempt to cash in on what is expected to be a comfortable victory for the Selecao.
      Since Japan v Croatia is the early kick-off, gaffers could even wait for Brazil’s starting line-up to be announced and go from there.
      In regards to team selection, two days ago Tite said of Neymar: “If he practices okay, he will be playing tomorrow. If he plays it’s because he is in full health and ready to start, to play from the beginning and the entire game with no limitations.”
      The PSG forward injured his ankle in the latter stages of his side’s 2-0 win over Serbia 11 days ago.
      Vinicius Junior and Richarlison are safer selections in attack, the former is the second-most popular midfielder in the game and he’s played much better than his current points tally of five suggests.
      Neymar is expected to feature against South KoreaCredit: getty
      As for the Spurs forward, he was quiet against Switzerland but his brace against Serbia should still be at the forefront of your mind.
      Most read in Dream Team
      His goal second was spectacular but it was his first, a classic poacher’s effort, that underlined his role as Brazil’s primary No9.
      The pre-tournament favourites are likely to dominate possession and create more chances than South Korea and Richarlison will hold his advanced position between the width of the posts, waiting to pounce on any opportunity.
      Raphinha will probably start on the right wing despite a somewhat wasteful showing in Qatar so far, still his play style means he poses a constant threat.
      Attacking assets are more likely to bank mini-league shaping double-digit hauls but perhaps the smarter option is to back a Brazil a clean sheet.
      Tite’s first-choice back four not only repelled Serbia and Switzerland, they didn’t even concede a shot on target.
      Thiago Silva and Marquinhos both come at a cost (£5.5m each) but doubling up on Brazil centre-backs could be a very profitable short-term strategy – a pair of 7+ ratings and a clean sheet would result in an influx of 16 points.
      Alex Sandro is actually his country’s best-performing defender in Qatar to date having racked up 21 points by virtue of a Star Man award against the Swiss.
      And of course, Alisson will return between the sticks after Ederson was given a start against Cameroon.
      Richarlison has 18 Dream Team World Cup pointsCredit: getty
      A deluge of points is not a foregone conclusion of course, underestimating South Korea would be a mistake but the nature of Dream Team World Cup means favourable match-ups should be targeted.
      From the quarter-finals onwards it looks as if every game will be contested by top teams so this may be the last day to capitalise on any semblance of a mismatch in overall quality.
      Read More on The Sun
      An XI containing Alisson, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Vinicius Junior and Richarlison would be well placed to provide healthy returns later today.

      England hero Henderson shows support for team-mate Sterling by wearing star’s shorts after attacker had house burgled

      by

      ENGLAND hero Jordan Henderson threw his support behind Raheem Sterling by wearing his shorts after the winger’s house was burgled.The Chelsea star, 27, was originally withdrawn from the squad to face Senegal for personal reasons.

      It later emerged that Sterling’s Surrey mansion was the subject of an armed raid on Saturday night.
      And standing by the star was team-mate Henderson, who sported Sterling’s No10 shorts once the final whistle was blown, as he greeted family in the stands in Qatar.
      Sterling has raced back to the UK following the incident at his home – 15 minutes from Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham.
      Terrified fiancée Paige Milian, 27 — at home with their two kids — raised the alarm when the gang took watches worth £300,000.
      Read More on World Cup
      Sterling could return to Qatar for Saturday’s quarter-final against France.
      Boss Gareth Southgate said: “He is dealing with a family matter. I had quite a bit of time with him this morning but I have had to pass that on to other people to help him with that.
      “He will go and deal with that matter and we will have to take it from there.”
      It is not known if property developer Paige confronted the raiders or whether they fled when they realised someone was in.
      Most read in Football
      The gang may have thought she and the couple’s sons, aged five and three, were still in Qatar.
      Before England’s first game she posted pictures of the two boys on a cruise ship in Doha, and she was tagged in social media images with cocktails.
      A family source said: “This was terrifying for her and obviously traumatic for all the family.
      “Raheem will have been beside himself with worry when he heard.
      “To be away when your partner and children are at home when an armed gang breaks in is beyond words.
      “It looks like about £300,000 of watches have been taken. The police were there several hours.”
      Without Sterling, England crushed Senegal 3-0 in their last-16 clash.
      It was pal Henderson who opened the scoring and ease England’s nerves after 38 minutes.
      Harry Kane finally broke his World Cup duck by smashing home a second deep into injury time in the first hald.
      Bukayo Saka added gloss to the performance with a third on 57 minutes to wrap up the win.
      However, after the game attention soon switched to Sterling – and it was Henderson who revealed his team-mates are fully behind his decision to return home.
      Read More on The Sun
      “It’s a blow but I hope everything is OK with Raheem’s family at home. I hope he goes back and can sort everything out,” Henderson said.
      “I’m not sure if he can come back, I suppose he will have to assess when he’s there but all our thoughts and support are with him.”

      After nearly 40 minutes of incessant Senegalese drumming it was England making the noise as Jordan Henderson opened the scoring.
      Close your eyes and it was like Wembley in the sand as the Three Lions roared past their African opponents.
      Freed From Desire, Gala’s eurodance hit, is the tune England chose to play when they find the net in Qatar.
      After Henderson’s opener, Three Lions fans changed the lyrics to sing: “Hendo’s on fire, your defence is terrified.”

      Goals either side of half time from Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka released any tension the Three Lions supporters might have had and the party could begin.
      As the clock ticked towards full-time, there was a chorus of Jingle Bells with the words: “Oh, what fun it is to see England win away.”
      There were even a few Santa hats in the crowd.

      Man Utd star Diogo Dalot admires Cristiano Ronaldo’s bulging biceps in Portugal’s World Cup 2022 training

      Ronaldo’s physique is as sculpted as ever at the age of 37, no surprise given his strict fitness regime.
      And former Manchester United team-mate Dalot couldn’t resist feeling for himself in training for Tuesday’s last-16 World Cup tie with Switzerland.
      Dalot peeled Ronaldo’s sleeve up for a look and, as the legend seemed to clench the muscle in response, the right-back patted it approvingly.
      On the same day, Ron was pictured cuddling Georgina and his sister Katia Aveiro in a brief period of relaxation.

      Portugal could even afford to lose 2-1 to a last-gasp South Korea goal on Friday in their final group game as they were already pool winners.
      And as Ronaldo wound down, Katia posted a cosy snap on her Instagram story of the United discard between the two women.
      The former Real Madrid and Juventus striker then took a selfie of the three of them plus two of Katia’s children.
      Portugal’s World Cup run has put the saga of Ron’s club career on the backburner.
