Brazil Vs Croatia, 2014 World Cup Kick-Off for Marcelo and Modric

The Games

Brazil vs. Croatia - 4 p.m. ET, 10 p.m. CET: The World Cup gets underway tonight with a very interesting match between Croatia and Brazil. While Modric's Croatia appear to be the underdogs, there could be some surprises. Too bad Mandzukic is not playing, though.

Any Real Madrid players involved?

Marcelo and Modric will both start for their respective squads.

How about former madridistas?

No former Real Madrid players will feature in this game.

Any transfer targets or rival players I'm probably interested in?

Apparently, Real Madrid want to sign Mario Mandzukic as a Karim Benzema-backup. And the rumors linking Ramires with Real Madrid can't stop. The Croatian striker will not feature although he's always a starter while Ramires will likely be on the bench.
