Sport Today

Hi, I have been keeping records of all the team formations so far in the
World Cup, and propose to post them from the 2nd round onwards.

If anyone wants to know about a first rd. game I will probably be able to help.
Sorry , but I just don't have time to post the details of all 52 matches.

From the games I actually saw I have given 2 players from each team a *, for
IMHO the best performers.  For some reason the TV channels even in a soccer-
educated country do not seem to be able to show the team formations, nor do
the newspapers.  So I've had to work them out myself. (C) = Captain.

I have tried to list the names that the players are known by. eg Surname or
whatever, this can be difficult with some hispanic, some middle-eastern
and far-eastern names.  Apologies for not really knowing the naming conventions.Some players, Brasilians and Spanish are better known by 'nicknames' eg Pele,
Dunga, Chendo.  These are the names I will use.  I assume that results, scorers,reports, comments etc will be posted by others.
