Phew.. Thank God Paulinho could manage to get his boot in

- Start date
Forgot how good Coutinho was.
Thank you Barca.
Thank you Barca.
A lot. It is quite objective (based on results of the last 4 years). Switzerland won't win the World Cup, but they aren't pushovers. Argies needed extra time to defeat them 4 years ago, while in last Euros they lost in pens.
Coutinho is just a joy to watch.
So as a commentator you have 1 job; saying players’ names. How then, does a commentator not know how to pronounce Coutinho. It blows my mind.
Yeah glad he isnt playing for Liverpool anymore. Hes probably more vital than Neymar for Brazil.
Brazil would do well to give Coutinho more responsibilities. Class player. Neymar is annoying
Where’s our Fred in the Brazilian midfield pecking order?
You should listen to FOX calling Willian as William
Not too much, but it gives some indication of their level of competitiveness. They aren't a bad side at all.
"It's a pleasure to watch him stand still" - Lee Dixon
Do the Brazilians have to crowd the ref after EVERY tiny little thing that happens?
Yes. After VAR, that is the norm.
After the masseur.
Why people want Willian again? He's been average for all 3 matches
Because a player's worth isn't based on three games, perhaps?
Because he has a stormer once or twice a year.
I'm probably just underestimating them tbh. I must profess, i don't watch a great deal of international football. Although i'm still skeptical on using the ranking system to judge a team, personally.
Completely agree. That's standard stuff from some people.
Brazil giving away to many corners.
Savic is a 100mill player is he.
Paulinho is the closest thing to Lampard in the way he manages to get in scoring positions, it's an underrated ability
No he is not.
Again
I hate Neymar with a passion.
The heck, if things remain like this Brazil face Mexico in the next round. If we win our group tomorrow - we'll end up on that side bracket - with a possible Brazil QF, then one of France/Arg/Portugal/Uruguay in the semi.
If we lose tomorrow we'll be on the side of the bracket with a Sweden or Switzerland QF, and most likely Croatia or Spain in the Semi.
Hmm..

Neymar had a hand on his shoulder. Obviously that had him down holding his face for 20 seconds. Before this world cup I'd actually forgotten how much I hate the little prick.
I want Brazil to win but getting tired of Neymar always acting like a big baby.
This is how he plays the vast majority of time. Buzzes about without doing much, and loses the ball a lot.
One or two brilliant games seem to have made him a bit of a darling on here.
Pass that damn ball, Matic.
Paulinho 0-1
It's so difficult to like Neymar even though he sometimes is a dream to watch.
I so want Neymar to miss an open goal in the 97th minute to give Serbia the win
I wish we had room for Savic.
Neymar is the most unlikeable guy in this business. Compared to him i feel like Ronaldo is a very nice and down to earth guy.
Neymar is a turd. A turd capable of great magic, but a turd nonetheless.
I wish that one time when Neymar is dying on the field, the entire opposition team would drop to the ground and start rolling, holding their face and pretending to cry. It'd be hilarious and he'd never live it down.
England would be favourites against Uruguay, Argentina and Portugal though with France hardly setting the world alight.
I think Croatia and Spain beat you.
Neymar could easily make himself much more likable by just cutting out the fecking play acting/feigning of injury.
Lichsteiner is such a pillock. He'll fit in well at Arsenal. Moaner and groaner
