[Football] World Cup - Day Nine

[Swansman]

Brazil to score 2.5+ goals at 3.25 feels like free money, but we'll see. The Swiss are traditionally good at defending. Really struggle to see anything but a Brazil win however.

 

[Mr H]

Tariq player of match on BBC website. Surprise, surprise!!

Might be an unpopular opinion but I don’t think this Brazil team is “all that”. Certainly not in contrast to some of the great Brazil teams of my lifetime, and certainly not without Neymar.

Favourites they may be but I’m not convinced they’ll get close to winning it.

Yes ....... the Lamptey that's been giving NK grief down the right hand side all match. Just taken a good yellow for the team there too.

Think he needed to do better for that first goal but the CB was more at fault. Lamptey is great attacking player. If we could morph him and veltman we would have a truly world-class RWB.

That’s often the way other than in 94 and 02. Efficient, defensively mean European teams winning the big prize.

But I love the skillset of these Brazilian players. The ball control, playing out of obscenely tight spaces, is a joy to watch.

Based on the pure randomness of oh so many games in this tournament you'd have to fancy SUI against BRA

Watching Brazil makes me even more convinced France are going to win it.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

This is a slow burner compared to the other 2 games today

Think they Brazil could do a bit better than this if they really really wanted/needed to tbh.

Keep an eye on Italy - you heard it here first.

Brazil to score 2.5+ goals at 3.25 feels like free money, but we'll see. The Swiss are traditionally exceedingly dull and boring to watch. Really struggle to see anything but a Brazil win however.

Corrected for you

 

[Swansman]

This game needs a goal from someone. Good to see the Swiss giving it a go though. If they win the World Cup, half of the world will believe Sweden won it - I'll take that.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Not hard you thick commentators Richarlison was offside went back to challenge

 

[Simster]

SO fed up with listening to Peter dreary Walton explain the f***ing obvious to the plebs.

Yes unfortunately it was obvious straight away, I said to my dog that’s offside, she that’s ruff

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

He who screams loudest gets the free kick with this ref

 

[GT49er]

Brazil vs Switzerland. Good to see normal service resumed after today's earlier aberrations!

 

[Randy McNob]

is it really offside in the true spirit of the game? whatever happened to 1st phase 2nd phase of play?
