Sergej Milenkovic Savić has to be the most overrated player, every time I see him I just see a nothing player who occasionally pulls out a nice highlight
Sure looks like that when playing for Serbia, never watched him at Lazio though but he seems to be doing well there. Milenković looks overrated too when playing for NT

Serbia just can't defend

Switzerland don't have the talent Serbia have, but they are more balanced as a team...plus a bit of luck helps too, as they are in this WC just because of Jorginho missed his penalty.
Yes they‘re just in the World Cup because of Jorginho…
Not because all of the games they won previously.
I don‘t get that constant hate for the Swiss NT in here no matter how they play.
Is Switzerland generally not popular in the UK?
Did Roger won too many times against Murray?
Apparently they‘re „a waste of a nation“…

Antony is just making himself dizzy.
I don't know why the commentators said that.
The skills actually helped keep possession of the ball, if another player did it, people would be talking about how great it was.
Yet, people are almost trying to be unimpressed with him.
I've seen people praise Pedri for a great touch, this guy managed to keep possession with double spins, yet nothing.

It's going to be like that when a player is signed for 2x their value. The price tag brings higher standards for scrutiny.

Watching the American coverage, they were praising Antony for that.

Again? Is he creating something? Anything?
He's active. A couple of nice dribbles that helped keep possession, good activity on defense, and... his traditionnal inability to attack depth without coming back to the center. Martinelli is clearly doing better.

He HAS to have fantastic end product, yet despite not creating chances, other players are allowed not to. He's also young. He's 22.
Just feel the standards are way off. I'm concerned, because United fans, despite knowing how scrutinized our players are, aren't the most supportive.
