| WCUP | (225353) Haiti at (225354) Brazil: Spread | 8:30pm EDT - Jun 19/2026 |
The PLAY: Brazil -2.5 (-121)
“In Carlo We Trust.” Ancelotti, that is, who now has had a game at the World Cup to better gauge personnel, and, a Carlo specialty, adjust tactics as needed for his Brazil side that should be ready to shift into overdrive before the KO stage commences.
Curious to see if and how Ancelotti might tweak the lineup tonight; there were weak spots in the starting 11 in the draw vs. Morocco, most notably at midfield, and more notably veteran Casemiro, who was very anonymous before being pulled at halftime. Ancelotti, however, certainly knows how to squeeze the most out of Vinicius from their Real Madrid days, and Vini scored one of the goals of the tourney to get Brazil level last Saturday. Haiti’s aggression might prove a temporary nuisance, but it’s easy to envision this limited CONCACAF rep losing touch. Play Brazil on Spread -2.5 goals (at Foxborough)
Consultant Bio
Bruce Marshall's name has become synonymous with The Gold Sheet. With a background in play-by-play work and sports information while in college, Bruce joined TGS in 1981 when hired by the legendary Mort Olshan. He learned the business by working alongside Mort and the other TGS handicappers and continues at TGS, where he has worn many hats over the years. Not only is Bruce the Executive Editor at TGS, he's also the Editor of Goldsheet.com and The Gold Sheet EXTRA!!! (a publication he helped launch in 1982), as well as serving as Editor-in-Chief of European Soccer Weekly.
Bruce's unique and colorful brand of football and basketball analysis, as well as informed commentary on the national and international sports scene, has made him an in-demand guest for many years on numerous sports talk radio and TV shows across the country. Bruce's vast array of editorial work is featured not only in the TGS publications, but various other print and online publications, and his analysis is often featured in the Las Vegas Review- Journal. Bruce, who is also in the midst of several book and media projects, combines all of his work while traveling between Virginia and his official hometown of Henderson, NV.
