I think Brazil would knock us out before we even get to the semis. That's if we even get past the R16. Much rather have one of Sweden/Switzerland in the QF.

Neymar is the player that people who hate the game because of the theatrics/diving/flopping(whatever your regional equivalent) are thinking about.
I think Serbia have been the worst team in the group.
Is his passing a part of another wacky bet?
Typical english arrogance.
When was the last time England knocked a heavyweight out of a tournament? Knock some of them out and then you can talk about beeing a favorite against any of those.
If you are not english, sorry.
I just don't see it with Gabriel Jesus. I remember Danny Murphy said he's the best youngster he's seen since Messi.
They would?
You're right!
Along with Argentina, France was heavy favourite to win that World Cup. They were compared to a fine wine, getting better with age. Both of them were sent off.
Spain wasn't considered as great as they were some years before in 2014, but they were still a powerhouse. I expected that Chile would knock out Netherlands instead of them.
Italy was very weak in 2010 and I vividly remember to have betting on their failure. Terrible COnfederations Cup, awful performances and such.
Judging by their performances in the last games, Germany out is less shocking for me than Spain 2014.
I don't think he's English. We wouldn't be the favourites against any of those teams, let alone Brazil in the QF if we top our group, so I'd much rather be on the other side of the bracket.
You'd know all about arrogance.Typical english arrogance.

On Englishmen minds, probably. Not in real world though.
Damn English arrogance from non English people, dicks.
I expected more from Serbia, they've been poor. I don't see them posing Brazil any problems in the second half.
Thing is, teams like France would probably be setting the world alight if they'd had to face shite like Tunisia and Panama so far.

The green smile after the white text.
One of my most hated players ever. A dirty, diving, cheating scumbag.

Was about to point outEngland would love to trade place with the german.
At least they won it in 2014

Serbia play like West Brom - their game plan is balls into the box to Mitrovic. They really need more runners on the wings.
On the current market where there are 150 mil players left and right, yes he is.
No thank you.
Honestly, he was so bad at the last world cup I actually celebrated when the Colombian guy went in dirty and broke his back. I never celebrate injuries but there's a beautiful irony to a guy that's always looking on the verge of death when he's nearly touched and then actually feeling a real injury.
Over Costa Rica?
Sadly Douglas Costa is injured. Willian is depressing to watch in the moment.
Hope Serbia can get an early reply in the second half. Would make things more interesting.
That fecking roll on the touchline. I could never support a player like that at the club.
I think that Neymar is the player I dislike most. Heck it, would take a Serbia win at this stage just to see him cry.
Neymar almost rolled out of the stadium, what the hell was that about?
Tite deserve credit for having us so organized defensively. Alisson really hasn’t done anything in almost 3 games.
Countinho leading Brazil. Wonder if he stayed at Liverpool would he start for Brazil
They needed 2 goals at that stage, and there were 3-4 minutes left. I actually like goalies who go in attack on those circumstances. It cannot get worse, and at times - mind you, rare times - it gets better. So it is worth it to risk it.
This is why I think you'll end up winning it. You're not really setting the world alight but you've been the best team in the tournament defensively. It almost feels like Brazil are a european team.
God forbid someone criticise Zlatan or not take part to his bandwagon.
As a Swede with foreign background I got plenty of Swedish footballers to be proud about; an ex-captained that refused to be part of the national team except if the team was built around him, rather than getting the best out of the team - or who nowdays take every opportunity he has to belittle Sweden - well, a person like that is obviously not one of my idols.
But go ahead. Use another race card just to cover your own ignorance, only because I managed to touch your nerve. It makes it more enjoyable for me.
Not sure what people think of Brazil here but to me they've played some good football at times. Will be interesting to see if they can string an authoritative performance over 90 minutes. If Brazil progress I think they're a threat to anyone.
Nah me neither, Brazil have looked much more dangerous with Firmino up top
Gabriel Jesus has been demoted to Gabriel Baal
They blow a lot of hot and cold. Create good chances, but have dodgy finishes. It also does not help that Neymar is their star player who thinks he can score too many worldies.
No, too low odds on him having less than 72.5.
Just annoyed how he almost lost the ball, but got lucky with ref calling foul.
