The funny thing is that Brazil don't usually produce or play with out-and-out box strikers like Thiago. I can't remember the last World Cup they had one. Romario and Ronaldo are more like 9.5s than 9s. They can drop deep and play on the shoulder too. All-around footballers. Thiago is like Lukaku. That's not Brazil, man. I actually thought Carlo was going to start Cunha and use Thiago in the second half if they were chasing the game. Starting him was a big mistake. It handicapped Brazil in possession.

With Igor Thiago's performance last night against Morocco, Carlo Ancelotti must be regretting why he dropped João Pedro from the World Cup squad. João Pedro would never hide like that. No chance. Thiago played 60 minutes and completed just 5 passes. Strikers who get involved in the game are often underrated, but they basically give you extra passing options in games you aren't dominating, while strikers like Thiago and Lukaku will hide because if you don't have the ball, they can't find the ball to pass or score.
