Actually, David Luiz is an extremely good CB when his head is in the game as we saw at the Confederations Cup, but getting his head into the game is practically impossible!
Croatian goals are likely going to have to come from Mandzukic or Modric, I think Mandzukic will likely be marked out, but Modric might be able to get something from midfield.

Thaigo Silva will go crazy babysitting Luiz, Alves and Marcello who will all be bombing forward. The key to Brazil defense will be holding midfielder Luis Gustavo who has to cover for these guys.
Mandzukic is suspended.
