Serbia look like they fancy their chances
Costa Rica absolutely dominating v Switzerland. Hit the bar and two or three other huge chances.
Switzerland through isn't a foregone conclusion.
Willian was poor in the first two games and when Costa came on against Costa Rica, Brazil looked a lot better. Despite that Tite is still choosing Willian in this game. What is that about?
So he’s a bit of Tite then.Because he's an total fucking idiot like a lot of the big team managers at the world cup. He announced his team in February or something, which means that he didn't care what evidence he saw between then and the start of the world cup, he was just going to pick the players he'd decided on half a year early. Before he even sees any of the players in training for the weeks prior to the start of the tournament. So expecting him to use his eyes and perhaps align his opinions of players with actual evidence is probably too high a bar.
You'd think they'd learned after Scolari between 2010 and 2014 basically treated Brazil as a club side with a set first XI...Because he's an total fucking idiot like a lot of the big team managers at the world cup.

I wonder what the S*n's headline will be tomorrow...I think they've currently got a group of 10 journo's trying to find a word that rhymes with "out" that's derogatory to Germans...
Uber AllesOver and kraut.
You ok, Hun?
...or he is just not as good as we feared initially. Judging by league showing I would say this.Jesus is another top striker having a shit tournament.
