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

Remember the days when we had so many players who perfected the curler from outside the box? Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, even Freddie had it in his locker.

Don't see many players either attampt, or having the technique to shoot like that anymore. Most players want to blast it in these days.

Who knows, maybe it's because goalkeepers are much better these days than back then but still seems like a bit of a lost art.

To be fair Coutinho himself usually tries that 5/6 times before it works.

That's the impression of him a couple of years back, but he's become much more efficient at it now  

Jesus shouldn't be starting ahead of Firiminho.

Jesus has looked mediocre pretty much every time I've seen him play. Firminho is better.

HAHAHAHAHA

poor defending from Brazil on that corner.. great header by Zuber

That marking though.

typical brazil with the shitty defending lol

is it me or does Neymar look to be afraid of Behrami at this point?

He's just a goal poacher not much else to his game. 

...............and behrami's day could be done.. looks like he did his knee

Swiss have played Brazil off the park so far.

At least we no longer get to see the likes of Fred and Julio Baptista upfront for Brazil.

They should’ve kept Diego Costa in the fold

Aye. Absolutely ridiculous defending and keeping all the same though.

Behrami is a proper DM
