Your Starting XI Goalkeeper

May 16th, 2006 | By: WC Bob | 6 Comments »

Now that we know the players that will represent Angola in Germany, it is time to think about the starting lineup that should be used. We’ll go through this position-by-position and try to come up with a lineup based on your comments. Today’s position is goalkeeper. The three choices are: João Ricardo, Lama, and Mário.

Based on his experience, my vote goes for João Ricardo.

Who do you want to start in goal for the Palancas?

Joao Ricardo is my choice. Lama is good in the Girabola but I dont know how he would do in the WC if chosen ahead of Joao R.

I would pick Joao Ricardo as well. If we are unfortunate and lose the first 2 matches, then I would select Lama for the last match. It will help him in the future in case we qualify for the World Cup again.

Joao Ricardo would be the safest option but it is important to give Lama a chance to play as he might be the main goalie when Joao Ricardo retires.

Joao Ricardo does not play for any club at the moment so I would go for Lama.

I pick Joao Ricardo. Remember that about 40% of this competition is mental, at least it will be for us. I don’t want to see guys F’ing up and getting nervous just because they’re playing against Figo, Pauleta, Ronaldinho and co.

[...] We’ve talked about the keepers and defenders, now it is time to select the midfielders who should start for the Palancas in the World Cup. Even though I am not entirely convinced that coach Goncalves will play a 4-4-2, let’s assume that he does. Which players would you choose for the midfield? The choices are: [...]
