PBP Match Thread: Brazil vs Serbia, 27 June 2018 [R]

I'll feel a bit better about how we were robbed against Switzerland if we get crushed by Brazil... hahaha. #darkhumor

I wonder if we can pull off a miracle! Our boys should have no pressure.

 

I don’t think you need a miracle. Brazil struggles and Neymar is often contraproductive. He is so much into his hilarious primadonna mode that he is basically a cartoon figure. And Serbia has a team of high international class.

The Brazilians fear you. Go for it.

 

Anyone has 3 tickets available? Please help.

 

In.

 

For what it's worth, eloratings has Brazil at 2131. Serbia sits at 1783, a little ahead of Costa Rica at 1709. That implies a difference of 348 points, which Elo ratings suggests implies an 88%-12% expectation of a Brazilian win (if ties weren't a possibility)

 

12-88% is a huge range

I guess everyone is vulnerable this World Cup.

 

This game matters! Should be a good one...unless Brazil finally shows up and does "Brazil"...
Is it even feasible to think that both Germany and Brazil could get knocked out on the same day?!

 

This world cup has been insane so far. So anything can happen

Im watching this

 

That means 88% chance of Brazil winning, 12% serbia win. if you put in a 33% chance of a draw (based on the rough odds of draws, then it is

58% chance Brazil win, 33% draw, 8% Serbia win

I hope that's clearer

 

"three or four or yards offside. I don't know if that's the interpretation of the rule....."

Hillarious

 

Brazil charging forward in the early minutes

 

Mitrovic fouling people in the box again....

 

Hmm. Marcelo subbed out after 9minutes, Filipe Luís coming in.

Not sure what happened there, but that's a blow for sure

 

IDEMOOOOOOOOOOO BREEEEE

 

14 minutes in, still 0-0. Serbia with some chances

 

No whining for a PK yet?

 

I do wish Willian weren’t starting. Against Costa Rica Brazil got a lot better when he went off.

 

Meh - so no Brazil vs Germany round of 16 match

 

Brazil trying to kill the clock or something. Ineffectual, then a give away. No one should feel this is adequate.

 

Brazil has no plan for this gAme

 

Sure doesn’t look like it

Maybe the plan is to draw Serbia out and then attack? Gabriel Jesus treated for getting stepped on a little.

 

True, but a Brazil-Mexico match could be entertaining.

 

I just saw Didier Drigba bald
I can not unsee it now

 

If Brazil was to lose this game, then Germany and Brazil would have plenty of free time to set up a match between each other.
