With the world cup already clocking goal 49, averaging slightly below 3 goals per game; it is evident why attackers have the lion’s share of the spotlight rather than defenders. Even the Brazilian skipper Thiago, who no one goes past on a ‘Silva’ platter, has described the world’s greatest showpiece as one not for defenders. I believe Iker Casillas would have a word or two to say here. It is no surprise therefore that my best 11for the first round of group matches seems to be skewed towards attackers. Here they are, lined up in a 3-4-3 fashion...
