    just seen the Ghana 3rd goal, surely it was offside .. the final pass was forwards to a Ghanaian who's well in front of the last Serb ??
    If you mean the 3rd Cameroon goal, the goalscorer was behind the ball when his team mate crossed it

    Racist as bad as Keown mixing up Canada and USA.

    I've never seen a side so dominate added time so much, 10 minutes of one sided pressure 

    Ghana's Centre backs were class though.

    Good to see South Korea banging in the crosses rather than passing it to death and getting nowhere.

    Nice Brazilian bird in the crowd. The cameraman’s been slacking this tournament with the females, my only gripe.

    Disagree, They have been the outstanding side since the WC started back in 1930.
    They have been shite as well with the horror show in the semi final when Germany slaughtered them.
    No respect during the 100 minutes if opposition but we pay homage in every sport to the best and Brazil have been contenders since the beginning and the only team to qualify in every world Cup. 

    Respect to past Players but this present team can be beaten.

    Technically they still got nowhere doing what they did 😬

    One thing that struck me from the second match of the day. I don’t think Cho Gue-sung will be playing in South Korea for much longer. Looked a real talent.

    Brazil's bench is better than most countries first XI.

    Ederson, Fabinho, Bruno Guimaraes, Jesus, Martinelli, Rodrygo, Antony amongst their subs. 

    I'd love to know how Tite looks through that squad though and thinks 'yes i'll start Fred'.

    Looked like an old fashioned English centre forward

    Their midfield play for united, striker struggles to get a game at spurs and their playmaker plays for West Ham. Put on a Brazil shirt and everyone goes mad. They’re a fantastic side but beatable.

    Any free kick in the opposing half, that doesnt result in the ball entering the oppo penalty area really pisses me off

    Agreed, and i think their defence isn't all that and will struggle against better sides. Dani Alves made their squad and he's nearly 40 and playing in Mexico.

    But i think it's their strength in depth that makes them so good. They have the option to bring on 5 great players if they're struggling in a game.

    I would say that England's second string side would probably get through qualifying and most of our bench would start for most other countries.

    I agree it's a puzzler how you would come up with Fred as the answer but it's amazing how many managers do.  I think all managers become more "conservative" the longer they are managers for.

    Full backs aren't great either.

    Lee Dixon will need a hammer and chisel to get his pants off later - anybody would think he is Brazilian.

    Weird one in that normally I'd go for the underdog, but I'd rather Brazil win here givne they'll almost certainly beat Cameroon, and it'll make Switzerland v Serbia a more interesting game if Serbia just need to win, not also worry about goal difference etc.

    Didn't realise Shaquiri is only 31.

    Feels like he's been around for years.

    Are you telling me you’ve never wanked yourself off over a Brazilian?

    Fred must be the best trainer in the world. How does he dupe so many managers. Joelinton didn’t even make the squad.

    Switzerland's block breaks down for a brief moment and Brazil punish them.

    I used to love the Brazilians when I was a nipper (back in the seventies with the likes of Zico) but I have gradually fallen out of love with them - the just feel like any other South American team now, and I'd prefer the underdogs send them home early.
