    Brazilian national anthem one of the greats 
    Not as good as a palace fan hanging on a string

    Brazil have never previously missed the last 16 of any prior World Cup since the tournament began.

    I like the Japan manager - looks like a moderately successful sales executive

    This Brazil side is just nothing special. 

    CDM that can barely move. Wingbacks that have little ability. A striker that just doesn’t look comfortable in the shirt. 

    It would need Vini to play a blinder every game
    to even be competitive. Beating oddly attacking Haiti and Scotland sides made them look much better than they were. 

    Even if they do win this, they aren’t to be feared.
    Must break R9s heart watching this lot.

    We could do with shopping in the Japanese market again. They run around like wasps at a picnic. Must suit Jones-ball tactics for closing down etc and loads of fitness and energy. Tora Tora Tora!

    In a pub with a group of Brazilians. They’re not very happy. The samba has left them.
    He’s probably just in trap one having a half time line

    You feel that’s Japan’s weakness. They’ve sat very deep and crosses into the box should break them down.

    So much for the "Sub Casimero @ HT" calls

    Didnt think Japan would keep them out sitting as deep as they have.

    Quite funny to see Brazil resort to Allardyceball but Japan can't deal with the crosses. They're not the tallest side.

    "I can't see Casimero coming out for the second half - very ordinary"

    "... motors past Casimero ... "



    Brazil 1 (CASIMERO) Japan 1

    And now Brazil hit the post after a Maradona-cum-Villa run.

    The Goal was coming and that's why you can't write off the 5 times winners of the World cup.

    This is going to be difficult for Japan to make history.

    Really love this Japanese side, super hard working and they’re fantastic on the break.

    I like the way the Japanese players can motor from midfield; in 2018, Keisuke Honda was excellent in top gear.

    “Tries an ambitious volley”…

    Not a volley. Got to love Matterface.

    The romance of the World Cup as a Palace player is replaced by a Leeds one.

    Matterface, Cushionface and Lee Dixon are the worst things about the itv coverage this year.

    Not that far back, if you’d have said that one day at a World Cup Brazil would have an AFC Bournemouth winger as a key player, and that Japan were holding them to a draw, you’d have been carted off.
