Brazil vs Switzerland (Group E)

[Maggot]

Mr. QofG's has pointed out that Neymar's hair looks like Martin L. Gore of Depeche Mode circa 1984. However that has still not changed his opinion of him!

or some noodles

I found it more resembled a spicy chicken ramen dish.

Fuckin shite game. A great point for the Swiss though.

Everyone's gettting bored shitless of the pundits talking about VAR, including the pundits.

Reality of the situation is not to lose your opening game. Anything is possible after that but just don't lose.
We have seen this in most group games except the opener & Germany who I expect will come back into it.

Yes compared to the Spain-Portugal or Germany-Mexico... not good

 

[Hollis]

Simple fact Brazil have been dining out on their history for the last 25 years. Last decent Brazilian team was the 82 squad.

Eh? Since then, they've won it twice, been runner-up, third and fourth, and reached the quarters twice, and never failed to reach the knock-out stage. With the exception of Germany, no team has been more successful in that period.

I think hollis has a point - but he maybe over egged it. Brazil were shit as the last world cup and were knocked out in the q finals in 2010 and 2006. but - like argentina - they carry the wieght of expectation with them. they haven't served up "samba" football for a very long time - the likes of chile and mexico - and peru - are more likely to deliver on that.

I dunno. When the first goal went in it felt like there could have been four or five more. Credit to Switzerland they had a plan and they weren't overwhelmed. But they were lucky the ref helped their plan. Neymar was fouled and fouled and fouled. Fouler in chief who was substituted when he was booked should have been booked after five minutes. Could have been a very different game.
