  1. Hard to break down the Swiss, and didn’t change until Rodrygo came on. What a player.
  2. Alisson has made 0 saves in 135minutes of football. Casemiro, Marquinhos and Thiago Silva are solid.
  3. This is Brunos chance tbf. Had it been Rodrygo it would’ve been worse for Bruno. Bad half by Fred and Bruno could find his way into the starting eleven.
  4. Flip

    FIFA World Cup

    Goes both ways, hence, why Bruno should win it.
  5. Not only that. Could potentially avoid Brazil in the quarters as well by finishing 2nd. All their players on yellow will be benched fwiw. Best game live this World Cup for me. Atmosphere much better, although I’m not fully convinced by either side.
  6. Japan were shit last game until the manager made changes. Making early changes here, hoping it pays off.
  7. If you see a big Fuck You @Mike sign at the ingurrland v usa game down the corner flag on one side then that’s me.
  8. Eder Militao most likely to play on the right. At least against Switzerland. While Rodrygo or Fred to take Neymars place. In the case of Fred, Paqueta to play in the #10 role.
  9. Might as well give me a Mexican passport tomorrow. Never going to feel as mexican as I will tomorrow.
  10. Paqueta was really good from minute 25 like. He was lost for the first 25 as Serbia played high pressing and kept more of the ball, but when we settled down he kept the team clicking with intelligent balls and won a lot of duels. Only Brazilian player who didn’t do mich was Rich until he scored twice.
  11. In the first half I was livid. Improved in the second half though in all sense. Still, his injuries are all on him though, he keeps inviting tackles.
  12. I’ll give y’all a thorough one after I’ve been here a few more days.
  13. Thiago Silva. Greatest defender I’ve seen live. What a ridiculous player to watch live. Rich keeps his scoring form for the nt, but wanted him to get subbed off at half (luckily im not the manager). He was Invisible except for the goals.
  14. I mean, if you’re footballing knowledge is limited to European football then I can understand your position. It’s probably not until into the 2000s that European football completely became dominant in club football. Taffarel, Dida and Marcos were great goalkeepers who won a lot during their careers. Even Rogerio Ceni was a fantastic goalkeeper. That 2002 set up with Marcos, Dida and Rogerio Ceni is on par with this one. Alisson is probably the standout for me out of the 6 called up for 2002 and the WC now. Ederson is great with his feet, but he doesn’t win many points by himself like Alisson does for Liverpool imo.
  15. Best game this far? Two good sides and quite free flowing. Ref hasn’t killed the game too much either.
  16. Australia up there with Qatar. Can’t believe they lucked themselves to the WC. Terrible side.
