Richarlison with get MotM but Casemiro was the best player on the pitch today.
With all the attention on the attackers, defense may even be a bit underrated. So much experience and skill there. I'm loving it16 forced turnovers for Casemiro. No idea what that means but we cooking
Yep ... Deserved what they got. Obviously takes a lot of courage to try and force the issue against Brazil, but at least you expect them to try and playThis is the same Serbia that won their UEFA qualifying group. Really poor cowardly performance.
Have you seen the state of that group?This is the same Serbia that won their UEFA qualifying group. Really poor cowardly performance.
Too obviousUsual story with these bunch (and a symptom of how easy are European qualifications).
Remember when they went to the world cup with the best defense in the world (only one goal conceded in like 2 years or something like that) and Argentina abused them 6-0?
You're not wrong in thinking so. The catch is that he's discouraged from dribbling and taking the high risk shots at United, so you'll see a far more conservative version of Antony for a while than his flamboyant counterparts. Also, he came on with clear instructions to keep things calm, so there's that. There is a genuine worry that it's not just a switch - the ability to dribble or the confidence to do so.I know you lot love him and Imma catch flack for this but Antony doesn’t look anything special. Not in the games I’ve seen him play for United. And here he looks a level below the other forwards as well.
He's in the crowd turning people Bud Zero into bottles of Petra
Agreed. Don't want to get ahead of myself but a potential QF between Brazil and Spain could be the match of the tournament.Having seen all teams now: Spain and Brazil the most impressive.
They are cookingFootball is not football without Brazil and the world needs their Joga bonito. After playing like more European teams than actual European teams for more than a decade Brazil needs to come back to its roots and play like they were meant to be. Come on Brazil !!!
They got trashed by Brazil, nothing to be ashamed of.Usual story with these bunch (and a symptom of how easy are European qualifications).

If any team can, it’s this one. Ridiculous attacking riches. What a far cry from the last World Cup.Can Brazil go far without Neymar ? He is so fragile, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that he might be out for a while
Think in recent years they were always great attacking wise, but a bit of a soft touch if you got at the defence. Think Thiago Silva is majestic and Casemiro is brilliant in front of them.From what I saw, not particularly entertaining but Brazil looks good. Controlled the game in all aspects, tough team to beat with a lot of options.
In the past no but this year, absolutely, they have the best attack by miles in the tournament.Can Brazil go far without Neymar ? He is so fragile, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that he might be out for a while
Which game were you watching? There were some beautiful moves from the Brazilians, today. Did you see the second goal or Casemiro's shot hitting the bar? The link-up play between the forwards?From what I saw, not particularly entertaining but Brazil looks good. Controlled the game in all aspects, tough team to beat with a lot of options.
I think Thiago Silva was the best. A truly incredible CB and footballer.Richarlison with get MotM but Casemiro was the best player on the pitch today.
Do you realise they have half the population of South America and account for over 50% of its GDP?True.
Also people forget Brazil himself is using money now to overdominate Copa Libertadores, they have started buying the best players from other southamerican countries(adjusted by availability), including argentinians and uruguayans.
They have always invented way more money in Football than the rest of south american countries, by a lot.
Yeah they’ve basically got 2 forward lines that are as good as any other. Kinda crazyIn the past no but this year, absolutely, they have the best attack by miles in the tournament.
I mean we already have 3 of them.We should only buy Brazilians from here on, love their style
Is Telles nothing to you?!I mean we already have 3 of them.
I can see France doing their boring France thing and beating them on the counter. Brazil vs. Spain is what I really want to see, god that would be tasty.Someone's going to have to put in a very good performance to stop Brazil winning this, insane depth they have in most areas.
Oh crap, forgot he was on loan at SevillaIs Telles nothing to you?!
Wouldn't shock me if that's the final unless they can meet before. Still a chance Brazil-Portugal could occur aswell.I can see France doing their boring France thing and beating them on the counter. Brazil vs. Spain is what I really want to see, god that would be tasty.
Glad the manager didn't bother. Tremendous goal.Need Raphinha for width, put in Jesus for Richarlison at the half please
This is his first game back from injury to be fair, he's been great for us though, always provides a goal scoring threat from the right and has produced important goals for us this season.I know you lot love him and Imma catch flack for this but Antony doesn’t look anything special. Not in the games I’ve seen him play for United. And here he looks a level below the other forwards as well.
Yeah, but they face Harry Maguire and not Thiago Silva.Neymar, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Richarlison, Jesus, Antony, Martinelli
vs.
Kane, Sterling, Saka, Rashford, Foden, Grealish, Wilson
I don't think England's attack is far off.
No worries mate, I don't love him.I know you lot love him and Imma catch flack for this but Antony doesn’t look anything special. Not in the games I’ve seen him play for United. And here he looks a level below the other forwards as well.
That's what I said, literally.Do you realise they have half the population of South America and account for over 50% of its GDP?
Of course they invest a lot more. The anomaly would be them being less dominant.
They also face Danilo and Alex Sandro instead of Shaw and Walker/Trippier.Yeah, but they face Harry Maguire and not Thiago Silva.
I had this nightmare last night. fecking France.I can see France doing their boring France thing and beating them on the counter. Brazil vs. Spain is what I really want to see, god that would be tasty.
