Thiago Silva
Brazil have named Thiago Silva as captain for Friday’s World Cup match against Costa Rica in continuation of their long-standing policy of rotating the team leadership.
The Paris St Germain (PSG) 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.
It will be recalled that Real Madrid defender Marcelo captained the team in their Group E opener against Switzerland.

The Forum described as shocking government decision to give cash to individuals across the table, adding that by this, the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Umar Farouq, had flouted the government’s order on social distancing and clearly contravenes the money laundering Act.
