    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.
    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.
    Yes - they are not the Gods they used to be. Still pretty useful though!

    Beautiful stuff from VAR.

    Terrible defending though, they won't get lucky again like that

    It's hard to get enthusiastic about the Swiss either. A boring, functional team

    Haha shut up Dixon: "Technically correct" in the voice of someone who has just realised they've been jacking off over a man in disguise of a 10/10 woman

    That VAR call is 100% correct, criminal that the Lino didnt spot it

    This match really isn't very good. Think I want Switzerland to win just so Dixon can cry about it

    Brazil look poor without everything going through Neymar

    "Outstanding strike" says Dixon even when watching a replay that proves the deflection is what gave the keeper no chance

    That was a satisfying hit

    Brazil can now rotate most of their side v Cameroon. Serbia v Switzerland should be a good game.

    Let them get carried away it’ll be more satisfying when it comes crashing down

    The ‘give it to Brazil now’ mob ain’t no way as confident as they were.

    Swiss have to go for an equaliser, goal difference doesn't matter, if they lose.

    First day where I’ve actually had to be somewhere for work, no idea what’s happened…allow me to catch up, ideally before the 7pm kick-off…

    Sterner tests to come of course, but so far Brazil have won both games and have yet to face a shot on target. Any country would be happy with that.

    Once upon a time before the heady days of the top flight we used to sing ‘It’s just like watching Brazil’ 😁.

    Brazil are a VERY decent side
    A lot of attacking options
    Two very good goalkeepers 
    Two quality central defenders 
    Cassemero


    And..... Fred.....

    I knew it would be an open world cup but after round 2 of games there really is no standout team.

    Never is after two group games other than Brazil in 1970 ? 

    Brazil are so shit no one's had a shot at their goal yet. Of course their beatable, who thinks their not ?

    CL middle age men obsessed with wanking 🤪

    I see Ronaldo is still winking as he enters the dressing room.

    Fred must be the best trainer in the world. How does he dupe so many managers. Joelinton didn’t even make the squad.
    Every club, well most, and countries have a Fred don't they?

     There’s been plenty of world cups where I thought yeah they look the real deal or surely they can’t keep that up all tournament (Holland 2014). This one everyone looks distinctly average.

    Brazil not faced a single shot on target yet this tournament

    great shot from Casemiro, BUT would the keeper have saved it had there not been a deflection .. like the existence or otherwise of god, we'll never know  o:)

    Germany in 1990, Brazil in 1994 and 2002.

    Brazil in 98, but we know what happened then.  I think in todays world everyone would be spanking of the Danish team of 86.

    That'll instantly change if they face England.

    We have Mason Mount!
