Come on Brazil

Nej. I reckon you may cause a surprise or two. Beating the Italians is no mean feat geezer.

Marcus fucking Berg on top mate. Says it all.

 

[werty]

Surprised Fernandinho isn't starting. And Marquinhos.

Some were predicting a Brazil-Germany Final.

How about a Brazil-Germany R16?

How about Sonny eliminating Germany in the group stage with a late dramatic goal?

Wow that statue at Volgograd is incredible Also the reminders to the Stalingrad battle from WW2. I’d love to look around all that if I was there.

Irrelevant stat alert: Three of the last four defending Champions have failed to get out of their group.

Not irrelevant. Clearly difficult for the champs to stay good with what is normally an ageing squad since they often keep the same players that won the last WC.

When you're a global brand, you can do anything!

 

[hughy]

Not bothered who wins this to be honest. I love shocks and all that, but Brazil are what the World Cup is all about.

 

[Oscar22]

I don’t care if only five mins have gone, Xhaka should be getting booked there

 

[goughie1966]

How is is he not booked for pulling Neymar back then?

 

[Hakkz]

The odds for a Xhaka red card?

 

[ClintEastwould]

Am I the only one who finds Willians playing style/stance highly annoying?

 

[Gassin's finest]

This tournament is all about the underdog so far, would love another upset.
