mosstef Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Really feels like an easy group for Brazil. I don't know. I'm sure they'll qualify from the group but both Serbia and Switzerland are decent teams and Costa Rica made it to the QFs last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I fancy Costa Rica to end up as whipping boys this time out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'll qualify from the group but both Serbia and Switzerland are decent teams and Costa Rica made it to the QFs last time. This. I don't see us winning comfortably against any of the teams. Expecting us to having to get a result last day to make sure we qualify as top in this group.

ponsaelius Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Brazil's attacking options are so much better than 4 years ago. Neymar/Fred/Hulk/Oscar/Bernard vs Neymar/Jesus/Firmino/Coutinho/Douglas Costa Plus the midfield is stronger and two top quality keepers. Only Dani Alves being injured weakens a position from last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Even just at centre forward it's borderline miraculous like. They've gone from being forced to start a player as bad as Fred, to being in a position where they can have a player as great as Firmino on the bench.

ponsaelius Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 If those two 17 year olds Real Madrid have spent 100 million come anywhere close to justifying the price tags then they're pretty well set for the next decade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Vinicius Jr will ever justify his pricetag, although I'm extremely intrigued by Rodrygo. The way he runs with the ball stuck to his feet is a bit Messi and Maradona-esque. Scored a hattrick the other day in the league. Turned 17 in January. Ridiculously talented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
