Portugal have been the best team I've seen so far in this tournament. No other side stands out for me
Spain and Portugal at the same rank for me.
Spain weren't better. They had the ball and did some great and fast combinaisons but most of the attacks didn't end with a good chance. Even the goals weren't exactly planned offensive actions: a free kick, a long ball on Costa and an amazing goal by Nacho on a lost ball.

Portugal was in difficulties in the beginning of the 2nd half but it was very solid and they probably have an equivalent number of big chances.

Pissed off with Brazil's lacklustre ways. Hopefully they pull their socks up for the next game.
Agree. Annoys me that they have it in them to destroy teams but play at times like it's a Sunday kick about in a park.

Spain and Portugal definitely.

And Mexico today to be fair, along with Russia of course
Portugal how? they were pretty average and got a draw because De Gea played like crap and the referee helped them a lot.

Only Spain has impressed as big team so far. Brazil looks good, but too lazy and cocky. Germany well, they were fecking pathetic today.

Stop being cowards.

You will have to face the big teams at some point.

You struggle against France too. You can't avoid everyone .
It was a joke dude. Noboby is afraid because of a fecking game. Also, believe or not, despite the result this was one of the best performances of Brazil in a wc debut since 78.

Switzerland created zero chances appart from that corner. Brazil was saving energy and happy with the 1-0. Probably because Neymar is not in good conditions and was punished with the draw. And Brazil is the only among the favorites that can defend. I have no problem playing against France. The only team i dont want play is Germany.

This Brazil side doesn't look any better than most of the ones that have struggled since 2002.

Against a decent team like Netherlands in 2010 could easily see them losing.

No one stands out in this tournament so far. Brazil included.
