Day 14: Mexico vs Sweden, South Korea vs Germany, Serbia vs Brazil, Switzerland vs Costa Rica

I'm not sure, but am I the only one who doesn't rely so much on Alisson???

Tite gave many opportunities to Jesus, but now he should be well-aware that Firmino definitely must replace him. Even if I were him, I think I would be ashamed of being performing so badly when there is someone much better than me to help my squad. Neymar can still do some difference with an individual move.
 
Is there one legitimately top team at this tournament?
I think Croatia have the been the most impressive team so far closely followed by England and Belgium. All the other 'top' teams have been underwhelming.

Croatia have looked great.

Belgium and England have shone but they've played two god awful teams so far.

Spain have looked great offensively but a shambles defensively.

It's anyone's tournament this year.
 
Quality wise this is the worst World Cup I can remember.

Lots of VAR interest plus it is wide open but it ain't a classic so far.
Totally disagree. In fact, I would say that is the best and pretty much every match has been competitive. Every team regardless of where they come from and how small their country is seem to know how to play footy. Long gone are days when the usual suspects had field days when they faced outsider teams.
 
Neymar is taking this world cup to show the world that he doesn't really care about anything else apart from showing off how great freestyler he is.
 
Nice header.

Old man Matic definitely getting a rest now.
 
Neymar is really trying to sell the illusion that he's playing better than he is
 
Against a better and the result would have been 2-1 before Brazil even score this goal.

They're underwhelming and fortunate by this group.
 
Surely Firmino is around 14 times better than Jesus?
 
Game over. But I hate this Brasil team, full of drama queens and actors, and they're not convincing at all.
 
He hasn't looked like a 100m player at all this tournament.
He's never looked like a 100m player. Hes a good player but nothing more. Its lazio's feck off price to bigger teams and it's crazy that they actually entertain it, because he would only be a squad player at these sides.
