[Jazz]

I know

 

[FerociousCorgis]

Jesus clear foul there this ref missed that somehow

 

[The Firestarter]

struggling to enjoy the brazil game. just keep thinking back to that ronaldo wonder goal.

 

[PoTMS]

Deserved. Serbia did not come to play football.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Lads are not taking into account the fact that Serbia are a tough team to beat . Any kind of win is a good result for Brazil .If they get it.

 

[Rajma]

I think not

They’re not winning the thing with him starting

 

[FrankFoot]

Serbian coach just waited for Brazil to score to sub Vlahovic in.

Too late.

 

[Deery]

Love how Casemiro takes the ball then go back in my work here is done style.

What?

 

[Tony247]

Amazing atmosphere in the stadium

Brazil certainly need a second goal

 

[Dazzmondo]

Vlahovic on, confused as to why he wasn't starting

 

[Bluelion7]

This was embarrassingly negative by Serbia, who I thought were talented enough to at least try to play heads up.

Now they will spend the rest of the match trying to get a Brazil player sent off…

 

[Houdini]

Brasil is so easy to dislike.

???

 

[bosnian_red]

Sure but Brazil are the clear favourites for the tournament and they look flat. Argentina and Uruguay were useless too.

The problem is going into the tournament thinking Brazil are clear favourites when there was no real reason to think so IMO.

 

[Denis79]

Yeah Serbia have looked ordinary, Tadic has done nothing

Negative defensive football. Showing too much fear.

Been saying it for weeks. Brazil will win their group and they are decent, but no way are either them or Argentina favourites. I don't understand why people have called them that other than "it's been 20 years since they won the world Cup, they're probably due". But like .. the coaching has dropped off, that's the reason for their slump. They play like Portugal, like France, like England. You look at Spain, Netherlands and Germany with their coaches, and you can see a set system. Sure it doesn't always work, but it has a much higher ceiling IMO.

Think you're wrong about what you listed. Every team has a system, the problem I have with some fans is that they think hyper possession football is the only way to win games. There are advantages and disadvantages to that. France won the world cup, they played a system, just because it's not the system that you want doesn't mean it's not a system. Brazil have a very solid system as well. Tite is a very good coach. For Portugal and England, a case can be made.

 

[Jazz]

Oh dear. How they didn't score there?

 

[MrMarcello]

Vinicius Terry'd it.

 

[Tony247]

Vini

 

[Sylar]

Brazil gonna be so much better to watch now they've scored and Serbia need to attack

 

[edcunited1878]

This is comical finishing...Serbia w two center fowards

 

[MDFC Manager]

Vinicious

Too fast for his own good

 

[Smacky The Frog]

Poor from Neymar.

 

[balaks]

They’re not winning the thing with him starting

You know that's his 9th goal for Brazil in 8 matches right?

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Oh Vini

 

[Offside]

feck me how many feck ups at the crucial moment

 

[padr81]

Hope Brazil score 7 more, sick of this shit on a stick back 9 Jose football.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Great tackle on Vinicius

 

[Tony247]

Boy Sebians are tall giants

 

[calodo2003]

Neymar with an ankle roll.

 

[MrMarcello]

Boy Sebians are tall giants

What about Man Serbians?

 

[antohan]

Does Richarlison usually start over Jesus? Can’t see a single thing he provides that Jesus can’t.

Doesn't look chronically constipated

 

[RG77]

Vini in a nutshell, often messing it up at the end

 

[Sylar]

Brazil did well there to get that clear

 

[MrMarcello]

Madness in the Brazil goal. So many headers.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Imagine if Serbia actually gave it a go from the first whistle. Silly they left it so long.

 

[Tony247]

That was close

 

[Offside]

Big heavy touch from the Serbian player at the crucial moment. Would have done better myself, so shit.
