Author: Agencies

SOCHI: Brazil has named Thiago Silva as captain for Friday’s (today) World Cup match against Costa Rica in a continuation of their long-standing policy of rotating the team leadership. The Paris St Germain defender last wore the armband last June during a 1-0 defeat by Argentina. That friendly loss in Australia was the only defeat suffered by coach Tite’s Brazil in the last 22 games. Brazil drew their Group E opener 1-1 with Switzerland and face Costa Rica, who lost their opening match 1-0 to Serbia, in St Petersburg.
