People are knocking Brazil for drawing to a team who specialise in draws? Switzerland have had 1-1 and 0-0 draws in most of their games for the past 3 WCs even beating Spain 1-0 that WC where the Spanish won it, that match was not as easy and clear cut as some of you think as Switzerland are the only team who went out a WC with out conceding a goal.

That's their game plan score one and hold on for the whistle, what you saw today is how all their games this tournament are going to look, it's how all their games in tournaments in the recent decade have looked.

I don’t know about others, but we as Brazilians always expect our team to easily trump everyone. People here are only satisfied when the team scores lots of goals and win easily. It’s kinda like Real Madrid fans, they’re so spoiled they are only happy with great results. Based on that, you can figure how bad the 2014 fiasco was for Brazilians. But it was a well deserved one that helped changing many things. If we’re competitive now, it was thanks to that.
