The team line-ups are out? Rozza is on the wing? O.o

Gibbs is pretty bad with his positioning, I don't expect any solid defensive display from him really.

I don't know when Iftar is in Portugal right now...When does the sun set? If it sets somewhere around 5 then RVP and Chamakh should be good to go.

well it depends in august sun sets at like 8 30 pm o at half time they will brake fast, i didnt know rvp is muslim, cool fact, is gervinho fasting as well?
i dont think fasting is a problem i mean like at benz.

and yes line ups are out, rozza is on the wings, gervinho and rvp up front, arshavin on the other wing, with song and ramsey in midfield

I think its more:

-------Song----Ramsey------
-----------Rozza--------------
-Gervinho--RVP--Arshavin

I doubt we went for a 4-2-4 or a 4-4-2.

Fasting could be a problem. Spending the whole day not eating or drinking, and then playing 45 minutes of football could be problematic. Plus, Ramadan only started four ago so Benzema's performances aren't really a reference point.

sorry line ups are not confirmed misread the webbie i am looking at, i went based on the most likely line ups srry guys

Pretty sure Rosicky is playing central, Gervinho right and Arshavin left.

I doubt fasting is going to be a problem. I'm sure they've already taken this into account while preparing for the game.
