The starting lineup for the match against the United States in Orlando remains in doubt at several points, but according to the ever-informed Brazilian media, it can almost be assumed that the team will have Vinicius Junior, Endrik and Rodrigo up front. Just because of the announcement, all three are Real Madrid players.
