Maicon will be the right back, no doubt about that. But maybe Alves could be in the team too.
The left back is still the biggest question, other than that we pretty much know what to expect (for the 1st game at least). I think it's gonna be Michel Bastos, but it could be Alves too.
What a lot of people seem to want now (and something I've been asking for ages) is Alves to play in the midfield, instead of Elano. Even the Brazilian most famous commentator was raving about how Maicon and Daniel Alves look great together on the right side, in our last friendly before the World Cup. I dont think Dunga would make such a change for the 1st game but depending on Elano's performance (and how Alves does when he comes in), I could see him becoming a starter during the competition.
