GWT: World Cup - Group G (Brazil and Switzerland Advance)

[NyQuil]

So casual back there from Serbia.

It was like watching Germany.

----------------------

LOL, as soon as the two Serbs converged on him I knew he'd be going to ground.

 

[luiginb]

Serbia not starting Vlahovic or Kostic?

Such a shame their coach is a coward, they had the guns to take the game to Brazil.

Anyone seen Neymar that first half?

If you ever wonder why Serbia always seems to have teams made up of bulky, physically strong guys, the explanation is that Serbia is actually among the world's tallest countries with an average height of 1.82 metres.

... and that's just the women!

 

[NyQuil]

The guy out wide took too long to get back on his feet.

 

[NyQuil]

Bad first touch on that opportunity.

Nice little run by Vini Jr.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Brazil looking more dangerous in the 2nd half so far. They're getting closer.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

I can't quite place it but there's something off in the Brazil lineup, I feel like they need another Paqueta in midfield and Neymark roaming around in there sometimes doesn't count. And I'm not quite sure if the wingbacks are good enough with delivery to do what they're trying to.

 

[NyQuil]

Neymar passing up the easy outlet for some reason.

Alex Sandro with a nice strike, inside post.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Alexandro with a hell of a left foot there.

 

[NyQuil]

Another bad touch from Neymar.

And then it happens.

Too much pressure.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Serbia started to look in trouble once they ceded midfield to the Brazilians.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

I was actually about to say that I'm not sure why they have Richarlison playing as a pure striker rather than a false 9 cos he hasn't been effective at all. He's not a target man and there's been 0 interplay or switching between him and the other attackers like you'd get with a false 9 but then of course he scores lol.

This goal should do good for the match. Brazil shooting more from long range this 2nd half has been a good choice for them.

I mean I could have scored that, don’t think that goal changes your original hypothesis at all.

 

[NyQuil]

That's an interesting card.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Spurs boy scoring here is actually good news for the rest of the competition.

 

[luiginb]

Brazil scoring is the best thing that could have happened to this game. Forces Serbia to come out and play.

 

[Savant]

Really weird Vlahovic didn’t start

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, well tried Vini Jr.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Not Vinicus's game so far.

 

[NyQuil]

I'm thinking Roberto Carlos had a rough night.

That was pretty close from Serbia there.

Pretty optimistic scissor kick attempt.

It's not for the lack of trying.

 

[Jussi]

2-0!

Not starting Guimaraes is just pure insanity to me. He's been on of the best midfielders in the world over the last couple years.

 

[Jack Straw]

Wow. Goal of the tournament so far.

 

[NyQuil]

Beauty goal.
