Brazil looking tasty.
Group E (Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia)
Filthy from Coutinho
One trick pony Coutinho with another world class hit.
The only thing Xhaka did right in his football career was to predict Coutinho will be a world class player
Knew it was going in when the ball fell to him. He just doesn't miss from that position
Brazil are one of those teams you always want to see do well.
Do they not have an alternative to Willian? Good as he is he’s hella boring.

Based on the last two years I'm struggling to come up with anyone who can seriously challenge them this year. Maybe France, but I still think it's a generation too early for their new forward line to produce.

He has perfected that curler from outside the box. It's pretty cool. More players should try to place it from that distance.

Douglas Costa and Taison waiting on the wings

I’m sorry but I’m not sure if you’re joking.
Xhaka confidently lofting the ball into touch.

Spain was one of my top 2 teams for the world cup. Not sure how they'd fare after sacking Lopetegui
My money is on Brazil too, great tactical organisation to go with attacking flair that can unlock any defence
every ball the swiss play ends up going backwards..
Brazil are incredibly stacked but the real difference maker is Tite. They're missing their best right back and replaced him with a dud who hasn't played regular footy for like three years, their best centre half is on the bench as is their second best attacker and they still look like they've been playing together for years
Would be interesting to see him manage in Europe one day although he does not make the impression of someone who'd translate well into other countries. Maybe Spain in the future

They have an amazing team but if Switzerland had better players than Seferovic and Dzemaili they would have been in trouble tonight.

Thiago silva ends up with a concussion if players follow your advice eh
Mourinho has nerfed Willian into a skilful Park-Ji-Sung.
Xhaka needs to assert himself more on this game.
Lichsteiner putting in a shift
Neymar doesn't look as sharp as normal.
Gabriel Jesus, even worse.
Swiss havent been played off the pitch, but they dont really look like scoring.
