Brazil just isn't the same without David Luiz.

How come Neymar didn't fall down after running into Navas?

The CL is a glorified FA Cup set to music

If you'd have added "useless at pressing", you'd have pretty much described his biggest strengths.
Aye.

Maybe this deserves a separate thread though.

Ref's need to book everyone who does that whose not the captain.
Would instantly end the practice.

Designate a representative to speak to the referee (can be an outfield player if the keeper is the captain).

Nilton Santos, Djalma Santos, Carlos Alberto, Facchetti, Carlos, Suurbier, Dani Alves would all have something to say about that.
Didn't get to see those guys play except Dani Alves and he definitely was better than Marcelo during his peak.

Marcelo and casemiro look top dogs playing for madrid but seeing them now , they look bang average. Playing for real madrid (who play as a team) makes everyone look great.

Let's hope Jose is watching Willian
THIS is exactly what he will bring to United when teams park the bus ..... NOTHING !
Yup. He should look at this one game v/s all the opportunities he's had to see him in person

Navas is a clutch player. Class.

Really wondering if some underdog (*cough* England:D *cough*) actually has a chance of winning the WC by the backdoor with all the top teams underperforming.

Wouldn’t Neymar be worth shoving down the middle?

I don't see why Real Madrid need to change their GK after this match.

Douglas Costa on form is unstoppable.
