Brazil Vs. Ghana, 2011 International Friendly: Lineups

The cool thing about international breaks is that the games get spread out a bit. On days where you assume there's no football to watch, you flip over to ESPN3 and see "Oh, Brazil and Ghana are playing!" And if you don't want to watch that, you probably just don't like footy. Here are the lineups.

Brazil lineup: Julio Cesar; Daniel Alves, Lucio, Silva, Marcelo; Lucas Leiva, Fernandinho, Ganso; Ronaldinho, Neymar, Leandro Damiao

Ghana lineup: Kwarasey; Pantsil, Opare, Jonathan Mensah, Vorsah; Agyemeng-Badu, Inkoom, D. Boateng, K. Asamoah; J. Ayew

Neither lineup is completely clear and both could take a few different shapes. However, Ghana's lineup looks like a 4-5-1 with Jordan Ayew as a lone striker and Samuel Inkoom on the wing instead of the right back position he normally plays at club level. Brazil will likely be playing a 4-3-3 variation with Ronaldinho and Neymar on either side of Leandro Damiao, while Ganso plays in front of a double pivot of Lucas Leiva and Fernandinho.
