World Cup 2006 - Brazil v Croatia - Line-Ups - No Surprises From Brazil's Parreira, Niko Kranjcar to Start For Croatia

Submitted by Pavlos Skoufis on Tue, 13/06/2006 - 19:21.

Brazil's coach Carlos Alberto Parreira made no surprise inclusions, and Croatia's coach included his son, Niko Kranjcar, in the starting line-up of the second match in Group F.

In a decision which may cause controversy, the Croatia coach included his son, despite heavy criticism on the issue from fans and the Croatian media.

The coach defended his decision to include his son in the squad during Croatia's training camps. It remains to be seen if his choice will have a positive effect on the team.
