Costa is injured, pulled his hamstring I think
Day 19: Brazil vs Mexico and Belgium vs Japan
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Surely he has become Ok by now. He returned from the injury and even played a friendly before the tournament. Can't be affected by it any longer.
He looks to me like he wants to be the hero every time he gets the ball.
Nothing to do with Tite not liking him. We don’t have much creativity off the bench outside of Firmino now that Costa is injured.
As the great MJ said: "I want people to understand, gambling is not a bad thing if you do it within the framework of what it's meant to be, which is fun and entertaining."Had 18/1 that would've landed if one of them scored in the first half
Or as the slightly less eloquent Young Thug said: "when I was younger, I had a gambling problem."
This Mexico team is so well drilled and in sync. Whenever they counter, they almost always pick the right pass and the player in the free position.
Mexico with zero shots on goal.
As an Englishman I've pre-deposed to blame every shit World Cup performance on an injury (Beckham 02, Rooney 06/10) etc.
Mexico started off pretty well but really began to struggle as Brazil grew into the game. Paulinho and Casemiro have both been good for Brazil. Barring a surprise Brazil should go on to win this.
Thanks guys. Hope it picks up in the second half!
Neymar to dive and get booked in the 2nd half...
United need to get their cheque books out for Lozano.
Idiot commentators on my TV keep saying "Rhesus". It annoys me for some reason.
Jesus is the most overrated Braziilian striker of recent years, Firmino is much better at all aspects of football

Filipe Luis will get sent off if he remains on. Brainless, reckless player.
Thugger, truly the Aristotle of our time.
Ahh, fair enough. Willian should still go off for...anyone, really.
Says more about their finishing than about their gameplan. Vela and Lozano both had multiple opportunities to test the keeper in the first 20 minutes. A complete lack of composure in the final third has drastically reduced their chances at getting anything out of this game.
Yeah, need to pull the trigger more quickly when near the Brazil goal.
Some would argue he doesnt even exist.
Who was the better side in the first half?
I'd argue Firmino is more overrated, especially on the Caf. Replacing Jesus with Firmino doesn't raise Brazil up a level.
It's the opposite for me. Firmino is actually underrated. Jesus is massively overrated.
1-22.5 Mexico
22.6-44.58 Brazil
Oh that would be delightful.
What was the point in playing Marquez?
Gabriel jesus is bang average.
Great Wall of Ochoa appears every 4 years. Trump didn't know that did he..
He exists, but he's nowhere near as divine as some would suggest.
What a save! That ball was coming in hot
Which team Ocha plays for? He looks a fine goal keeper. He always stands out in Mexico games specially against Brazil.
Neymar....couldn't trap a bag of cement

The state of Mexico’s decision making in the last third. They are all brainless.
Big chance that. Shit decision making
Edit: FFS. That's probably that.

Had to be that cnut.
Prick.
