People are getting too overboard with a first match mediocre performance. Both Brazil and Germany had mediocre performances but both the Swiss and Mexicans are good teams. At least I know that Brazil has had a good and serious preparation and have seen it become a team that doesn't just rely on having good players like they did in WC 2014 and both Copas Americas, just judging from one match isn't enough.

You could see they got overconfident and just started working when Switzerland scored the equalizer, it's better for them that this happened in the first match.

I also don't see this result as them trying to avoid Germany, I'm not a fan but even I know Brazil wouldn't do that
