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!

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

I knew it would be an open world cup but after round 2 of games there really is no standout team.
Is there ever after two group games other than Brazil in 1970 ?
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.

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

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

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