feeeeck, come Costa Rica
Day 9: Brazil vs Costa Rica, Nigeria vs Iceland, Serbia vs Switzerland
- Thread starter whatwha
- Start date
Nosebleeds can be fatal, surely they're not letting him play on? They should probably get Fred on here...
“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?”
Brazil trying to finish second to dodge Germany, I can tell.
So close damn. I love an underdog, come on Costa Rica.
Why are Brazil playing in blue? They are the home team in this match.
I love this World Cup, so many competitive games (never mind now that the results usually go the wrong way --- for me at least).
Also, Neymar on ground count: 4

I've always loved the blue Brazilian kit.
Referees have been extremely lenient in this tournament.
Why is Neymar on FK duties? Willian and Coutinho are way better than him at whipping a ball in.
I've no idea how constantly fouling one player is still legal in modern football.
It's a damn nice shade of blue. I wonder what that exact colour is called.
Does that count as a shot on goal from Coutinho?
Clattenburg(?) had the right idea when United were kicking Hazard out of the game.
Costa Rica are going to end this game with 40 fouls.
To sell some of these awful shirts probably.
Why does this Brazil side feel lacking and somewhat boring to watch ? They should be a complete team on the pitch. Maybe because they're very lazy bastards ?
Blue is so not Brazil.
And likely zero goals.
That's always been their away kit hasn't it?
Not really sure why they're wearing it today though
Their midfield I guess?
Still doesn't sit right with me. Maybe its' just me though.
They are pretty old
9 fouls by Costa Rica, still no yellow card? This is getting ridiculous!
Thought Jesus nailed it from that cross.
Offside..
Offside..
What else could it be? Blue is a major color on their flag.
But all their attacking players are supposedly very exciting bar Willian.
Hard to get attacks going when the other side hacks us down with impunity every ten seconds
No urgency.
Neymar giving the ball away, heavy touches, poor crossing
They need a bit of space to be exciting/effective, space is created/exploited by midfields.
It was the same vs Swiss especially in second half, not just today.
Is Marcelo the best attacking fullback in history?
Struggling to pick a better candidate.

Dani Alves.
Serbia could well beat Brazil by the look of it. Jesus is underwhelming, Neymar yet to fire, heavily dependent on Shootinho and Firmino is still on the bench.
Brazil isn't impressing, Serbia can win this group.
Was thinking that too. Personal reasons make me prefer Marcelo though.
Carlos.
He's been poor, he should've scored that chance he just had. Love how he gets fouled every time he gets the ball.
Agreed.
I'm not sure what extra dynamic Firmino would add here.
This team goes as far as Neymar takes them.
