meh..... average for Brasil
Brilliant goal ..but very impressed so far with the job Berahmi is doing on Neymar ..
My bet is that one or the other will get sent off ..
Well it does look like you can take the ball off Brazil and for every good solid tackle you get 45s against 10 men as the roll around
Sulky Mc Sulky Pants
Well that was kind of coming there!! Going to get something going
and FFS ITV lads there rising above everybody else? He was stood on his own
Neymar needs to start playing for the team instead of for personal glory if he wants to ever lift that world cup.
..and VAR or not it was a foul
Neymar is a right tit soz.
If you give a foul for that there would be a pen/free kick every time the ball was crossed.
Nice to keep some contact in a contact sport.
Neymar looks like a player who’s been playing in France all season
I quite liked what I saw of the Swiss/Brazil game..
And glad the Swiss pulled through equally...
I’m loving that these supposedly lower ranked teams are turning up to play. No bus parking. No trying to grind out draws and a point. They’re having a proper pop at the big boys.
Its been bloody brilliant to watch!

Switzerland 6th, Mexico 15th

Fairly high ranking overall
You know what I mean though Mike. The press just write them off. Like the game is a done deal. It’s great watching Messi walking off with a face like a smacked arse after a country with a population the size of Manchester found them out by turning up to give them a game.
You looked at France the other day against Australia and they clearly thought all they had to do was turn up.
Nobody likes that kind of arrogance. No way did they deserve 3 points. Neither did Argentina, neither did Germany, neither did Brazil.
They all had their minds on the knockout stages and forgot they had to play what was in front of them first to get there
It's the big one today. I'm leaving work early to get tanked up. A nation expects. Sweden vs South Korea.

Hopefully not a mistake Tunisia make later

That's the worrying thing about football for me nowdays with VAR. We could quite easily see 99% of them ending up as penalties... i really really don't want that. I want 1% of them to be given, i want reactions, i want mistakes, i want controversy, it's football, it's all about opinions and trying to get away with the odd tug, the odd shove, a deliberately mis-timed tackle etc. That's what it's about. It's not cheating, it's not unfair, it's a contact sport.
I’m not sure I agree Weeksy....there have been so many miscarriages of justice that can have massive consequences. Take Henry, hand ball goal that took France to the WC at the expense of Ireland .
So far the VAR process has been nicely restrained. Meanwhile the Swedes are playing route 1 footie, with no results yet
and good use of VAR there, definite penalty
Yeah I would agree with that ..when the ball ended up down the other end of the pitch I thought the moment had passed ..
I really want S.Korea to get something out of this game ..
I know it's totally illogical but I have two reasons why ..
1.Seb Larsson ..Swedish Mackem
2.I hate their strip ..😁
At this point I'd rather Sweden win but SK take points of Germany, Mexico and one not being Germany through would mix it up a lot
I'm looking forward to this next game ... the talent Belgium have got as individuals is unreal ..time to step up to the plate ..
laboured from Belguim, someone has swapped all their boots round.
Well goal of the tournament is going to be tough to judge, what a strike there
Someone has just released the handbrake ..some great goals ..
been loads of contenders in this wc anyhow. cracking wc so far. I always thought russia would be good for some reason, savour it, cause qatar will be shit! 😆
Men v boys that....Panama were enthusiastic, but pretty hopeless.
Aye was only ever going one way once belgium actually woke up.
Lots of positive vibes from the pundits on English chances.....cmon lads let’s start well for once! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
So, all the English fans keeking their drawers at the minute? 😆
Keeking....that’s a new one on me! No, I think for once we have gone into the tournament with no expectations, a young team who are being coached to play in fearless style. Whether that actually happens is another story, but we are hopeful! 😀 🏴
Well goal of the tournament is going to be tough to judge, what a strike there
Ronnies free kick equaliser still the tops (by a mile) with Coutiniho’s second. (IMHO)
C'mon Tunisia. Let's do this!
I actually want England to do well. Some muppets in the squad, but at least there don’t seem to be any of the previous:
Racist guttersnipes (Terry)
Narcissistic plebs (Cole)
Overated thugs (Rooney)
So, all in all, positive vibes.
That lad from russia's outside of boot goal was amazing.
Sweden SK was so boring. Come on england 4-0 please
Eng-ger-land ... you better score at least 2 goals or me mates are going to blame me for their bets. 😀
So did the home office limit russian visas or something? 😆 how come so little england fans?
Well it's a better opening 5 mins than Belgium
initial impression, this is gonny be shooty in for englanshire!

Both sides of the hooligans would have a field day if they met up in Russia ... 😀
I am watching Engerland, right?
Shooting to the left of the keeper would seem to be a good plan.
Come ONNNNNNN!!!!!!
And having Kane and Lukaku in my FF team seems inspired now 🙂
