Hodgy Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Switched on to see Neymar diving and loved how VAR was used, quick and for an important decision just how it should be. Pleased Brazil have won too, as nice as it sounds to have Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Italy & Netherlands either out early or not even qualified to me in comparison it would feel like the Europa League does compared to the Champions League when we reach the KO stage, the competition starts properly for me in the last 16 and I want to see the best players and teams there in all honesty.

Cedrik Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 To be quite honest I always like Brazil, I don't mind trick pony kind of players, but this Brazil side is taking it a bit too far for me. For some reason I feel they have this huge misplaced arrogance over them and when things don't go their way everyone is to blame except for themselves. Good to see Neymar crying afterwards btw, those are real emotions I feel, just bottled up frustration fuelled by huge huge pressure. I hope they tune it down now a bit and show some self-reflection. The football they so far showed is utterly disappointing and they are lucky to get the three points today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

westy8chimp Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Disgusting game really, so much histrionics from both sides. The vitriol players like Neymar show the ref and their opponent needs to be stamped out of the game. Forever talking about respect campaigns but no progress. To the point where I really don't think I want my son (who is only 1 at the moment) to be encouraged to watch football. The Costa Ricans were slightly worse, because not only were they faking injuries throughout the second half to waste time... they took every opportunity to cynically hack down any Brazil player who went on a dribble, More protection needed for players who run with the ball, then perhaps they wouldn't need to dive so much?

They did unlock the defence plenty of times though. To me it seemed that there was a touch of complacency in the Brazil team. Like scoring a beautiful goal was worth more than just scoring. Times in the box Neymar just wanted to cut back, having already beaten his man and opened space for a shot, so he could curl it to the far post and look better. And some little flicks to one another inside the box. I like that kind of football, especially when Brazil are at it, but surely you just get 1 or 2 up first and secure qualification.

I don't understand how Firmino isn't a better foil for Neymar and Coutinho personally...without seeing previous Brazil friendlies etc. Gabriel Jesus is a poacher*, if you play Firmino you get the connection he has with Coutinho and he lets Neymar drift inside more. *yes Pep prefers him over Agüero but it's because of his pressing not his build up play, before that tired argument gets trotted out.

We already have Neymar, Coutinho and Willian (despite his awful matches so far), I think what we need is exactly a poacher.

I think Neymar and Coutinho could get into the box more without Gabriel Jesus. Also I’d play Douglas Costa over Willian now, and Firmino is unreal at pressing so not like you’d miss out on that. As I said though I haven’t seen much of Brazil under Tite before this World Cup, so not saying you’re wrong, just in theory I think Firmino looks better.

Razzler Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Gawd, Neymar is so freaking unlikeable, I would have loved a Costa Rica draw. If Serbia don't crumble from the pressure that could be an interesting game, I expect some top notch rolling around from Neymar as Serbia pretty big units! I see, even with VAR reviews, they're not bothering booking clear cheating like Neymar on that penalty then. How manufactured were his freaking tears after the game, ffs! "Get those cameras over here" - if he's not playing up for the cameras then maybe they should get him talking to someone if his emotions are so on the edge over a late win!
