Haha yeah. Just gotta own it!
I'll quite happily admit that when we were first linked to Richarlison, I happily stated that I "didn't want to see that prick in our shirt", or something like that.
Then, I watched more of him, read more about him and now, properly love the bloke.
Sometimes it's refreshing to be wrong and have to evaluate your views.
We live and learn.

Neymar’s ankle looks pretty bad.

He just plays without any discipline and hasn’t since he left Barca to be fawned over in Paris.
Exactly this.

He was brilliant at times for Barcelona because he played within the system.

For Brazil and PSG his ego tells him he needs to be the centre of attention so he wants to be on the ball all the time, even of that means he's 40 yards from goal.

You're absolutely right, if he focused on finding space where his ability works he'd score more at the highest level.

I think this doctors statement is for the fans because I don't see him returning any time soon. He already said the MRI showed Neymar has ligament damage and with that golf ball size swelling on the side of his ankle he'll be lucky to play at all.

"It's important to remain calm, an evaluation will be conducted daily so we can have more information and take the most appropriate decisions," Lasmar said, adding that "the goal is to have him recover" in time to still play in the tournament.

They'll play better without him.
As good as he is, he isn't a team player and wants to do it all himself.
Him being injured may well be a blessing in disguise.

Now Neymar's definitely out for the rest of the group stage, got to be honest I'd be a bit surprised if he gets back for the knockouts but I'm no medical expert.

What's really upset me is that just when I was thinking how good Richy looks as a front man, with the positions he's taking up and such, that monkey-headed prick says exactly that!

I shared a thought, the same thought, with Martin Keown FFS.
I'm going to take a cold bath as punishment.
?

The bastard just did the same thing to me ?

Onana would probably have saved that. His disciplinary offence better have been serious to warrant being dropped.

Edit - he probably would've done better with the 2nd as well.

Serbia are a really good side, losing 2-0 to Brazil isn't really a fair reflection on them. They've dominated today but for a defensive collapse for the Cameroon goal.

This is exactly what I want from a World Cup. A very stupid game before midday that gives me strong opinions on random players instead of doing actual work. I love fun!

That's what I dislike about a World Cup in the Americas. Midday games for them are still evenings for us so I don't get the same vibes.

Cameroon game showing the real value of VAR. Think both of those goals would normally have been flagged but they're right back in it now

Annoyingly this is the last day for four games from 10am. Have to wait until the afternoon from tomorrow onwards!
