Match #31 - Brasil v. Switzerland

Very tough for Brazil after losing Neymar and Danilo. The way the team plays, and how the replacements work out, will show the true greatness of this Brazil team and if it can ultimately compete for title.
Hopefully, Tite will show mental fortitude and put Rodrygo for Ney and Militao for Danilo.
3-0 for Brazil.

 

Brazil have tons of depth.
Still expecting a comfortable win

 

In.

yep somewhat similar to france

 

You lot are severely underestimating us..not surprising. 26 minutes in, we have been the better side.

edit: as I say that, the young boy Reider falls asleep and gifts Vini Jr. a golden chance.

 

Looks like that chance has buoyed Brazil. We need to pick up the tempo in possession.

 

I feel Switzerland do a much better job to close down the spaces than Serbia did against Brazil.

Brazil looked again fairly ordinary like in the first half against Serbia.

You put out Neymar and this team looks not like world beaters at all.

What I dislike about Brazil is they think too much on the ball. They play much less direct than the best European teams. In modern football you have to be very quick in decision making and don't lose much time with unnecessary moves. Yes, you have to be in a way robotic in order to win the World Cup.

 

Switzerland is way better than Serbia defensively but you can't compare the team Brazil got when an in form Neymar is on the pitch with this one. Fred doesn't bring any créativity. If Neymar isn't back in shape for the KO stages i don't see how Brazil can win the tournament.

 

These Brazilians and throwing themselves about..

 

and there it is

 

matter of time, feels like im watching denmark or serbia

 

VAR says its offside, shame.

 

Switzerland is a very tricky team, pretty strong in defence and known for its lethal counters. Brazil knows that and need to be very careful on this, hence why they cannot play all open.

 

Brazil missing neymar in midfield

 

Golazo

 

Wow. From nothing.

 

and there it is

 

Brazil has no chance of winning the World Cup without a fit Neymar.

 

thats how top teams are

 

Seems like Brazil get too much respect for just being Brazil and a lot of teams lose in locker room.

 

damn we could maybe get Brazil/Uruguay next round

 

manager should have told them to go f up brazil
