    What a cross and what a finish. Nathan Jones sign them both up!

    Big payout for the bookies on that one

    Serves the Swiss right for missing all their chances.
    XG of 3.16!

    A lovely cross and header to enliven what was a low quality and low energy encounter - as so many of these group games will be.

    Well done to the Qatar goalie, though - he had a fine game. In addition to his saves, I liked the way he came out for dangerous crosses and cleared his lines.

    Serves them right. Sam has said this is part of Qatari football history. Because it is extensive

    Credit to Qatar, I felt like the Swiss just passed the ball around all half and didn’t have the urgency going forward, genuinely annoyed watching them. Served them right for not killing it off

    He also took a fair old thump to the head when he went for the ball that led to the penalty.

    That Brazil team ain’t great is it. Their bench is terrible.

    He certainly did. Nice also that the veteran captain wandered upfield in injury time to equalise with a thumping header.

    Anyone that says Brazil are winning it is lost. Centrally they are good but the Wing backs are also weak. 

    Not convinced Igor Thiago will be able to deal with the expectations too.

    Out in the RO16 I reckon.

    The 6th game, and we finally see one of the big names.

    A cracking game on paper.

    Feels bonkers though that a Brentford player is leading the line

    Not sure we’ve all processed the fact that a Brentford striker is leading the line for Brazil

    They’ve come a long way from Lloyd Owusu.

    Sorry to bring the level down, but Kelly Cates is top notch 🫠

    Love the fact they’re using the Alan Parsons Project as the walk out music. Brilliant 🤩

    What is this walk around the edge of the pitch all about?

    I think it’s just the design of this stadium

    Lot of talk about Morocco being top quality too. 

    May prove me wrong here but I don’t have loads of faith in that lineup.

    All these bloody American stadiums for American sports seem to be like it.

    The front rows are mostly raised up away from the playing area with a big wall. Winds me up for some reason

    Worst Brazil team in living memory, that's for sure.

    9 minutes in and the game plan for any side against Brazil is so clear. 

    Fast wingers, run at their wingbacks. 

    Anthony Gordon would have a field day against Ibanez.

    Dunno if they're going to be able to keep it up but  Morocco are giving Brazil a torrid time of it so far.
