I really thought after the first game Brazil would have improved, but they look very ordinary. A team easily beaten by Mexico ( the scoreline lied) and Croatia shouldn't be giving Brazil problems. Yes, they may go on to score a lot more and comfortably win the game but .... not impressed.

As it stands Brazil will play Chile and my money looks like it is going on Chile.

My grandmother can run faster than Fred.

Are we watching the same game? Brazil is doing their best game in this tournament. Fast attacking football with many chances while defending decently.

In this shape they could easily beat every team. Still, the second goal was a gift and is entirely on the non existing defense in that situation.

I doubt my prediction of 2:1 for Brazil will last long into the secon half.

Seriously? Any good team would be killing Brazil here. Their defending has been woeful and the two goals they scored were gifted by poor defending. Cameroon should have scored more, most other teams would have.

It's not all about stats. Look at how they're playing. How fast and confident. They even started to actually play Brazilian again. You can almost feel the fun they're having.

And yet ever good team never ends up killing Brazil. Ye were not playing like we should be but were still Brazil and these guys know how to play they just need to egt theyre head in order. Too much pressure playing home it seens, too much eagerness to score, its a mental thing more than anything else.

 

And Neymar is just beasting. And the scoreline was indeed wrong on the Mexico game Brazil shouldve won, Ochoa played incredibly well.

I won't argue that it is their best game but who are they playing? A weak team that got trashed in their other two games. Mexico should have had three goal plus but two were unfairly ruled out.

Against the better passing and finishing teams Brazil will get hammered. 

Lets see next time they play, shall we?

BTW I want Brazil to do well for the sake of the tournament being on their patch but I really don't see it.

I didn't mention any stats?? And I agree they're playing much better  with great skill but I think that is probably just because of the terrible defense they are facing. They are not being pressed and have loads of space and time to work with, something better teams will not give them.

I know and I want Brazil to do well but on the evidence so far in this tournament I can't see them getting very far.

That was a damn good save.



Xevross on 23 June 2014

Wow, great acceleration from Neymar. The player who took him down should be off for that, it was worthy of a second yellow.
