Brazil vs South Korea, Round of 16, 7PM GMT, Stadium 974

[PMLF]

Since 2002 Brazil didn't win by a 4-goal difference (4-0 vs China) (assuming the score doesn't change to something like 4-1, etc)

Not even Richarlison's best goal at this tournament.

It’s a taste thing but I preferred this one to his volley. The Thiago Silva pass at pace first time was just sheer beauty

[Redshift]

Not even Batman could save this match.

Why is Coisty moaning about Korea leaving 3 or 4 at the back?

Korea have lost, go down having a pop. Lose 15-0 rather than scrap out a 5-0 loss by doing nothing for the rest of the game

You mean "something like 41-0 etc"?

41-0 would still be 4+ difference.

Terrible 

[Mr Adam]

FWIW how much better are these two commentators than the turd we get with England. That banter there about the yellow card caption versus David seaman’s cats and wondering what happens if the ball needs replacing 

just as I say that ITV **** the sound up.

Limiting your attacking potential with tactical tinkinering and close wins. That's when you stopped winning the whole thing 

[Orzelek]

Should've been five there

[Pukey]

[Mr Adam]

I’m enjoying McCoists understandable fury at the defence more than the match itself 

[Astafjevs]

They should be 6-0 up by now

He's so dumb I reckon I've got a chance even when they are out  

[hursty2]

Martin Tyler is making this a snooze fest for me, such a boring voice and has no co-commentator.

[Rob1981]

McCoist is fuming  

[Haguey]

Brazil have been good, but Korea have been appalling.

I bet he’s doing his style where he actually intentionally gets slower and sadder every time Brazil score

Tbh, that 2010 team had a stacked defense and average attack for Brazilian standards, if not for FenoMelo's stupidity, the probably make the final instead of Netherlands.

[Haguey]

A half competent defence and Brazil don't score any of those goals.

[cyclonus1010]

Korea's defending reminds me of how Leeds defended at times under Bielsa

Lovern-Gvardiol is a literal example of half comeptent.

Any thoughts, Eni?

"Vinicius has been great - a goal and an assist, that's a perfect hat-trick."

[chris79]

aparat from everything else I think Brazil players were looking a lot better physically. Like it was a second game od the day for Korea

It's a style that when it works can be a nightmare to play against, but when it goes wrong it looks utterly stupid. This is certainly the latter.

Croatia would pick these Brazilians off imo

We're going to lose 2-0.

We have no pace up front, if there was a quality striker, I'd give us 25% chances, like this it's 10%. We just have too much difficulty scoring goals.

[Lucas]

I thought Darren’s pun was excellent. Bit annoyed second half is a formality. Might have to find something else to do.

As if Pougatch would introduce her like that without putting words in her mouth   Not when he can spend thirty or forty seconds dressing up one of his opinions as a question.

[craigcwwe]

Embarrassing first half from South Korea. Obviously there's a huge gulf in class but they've played right into Brazil's hand. So open and stretched, no compactness at all. Awful coaching. 

South Korea deserve to get absolutely humiliated.

[Barry Cartman]

Keane

Can't believe what I'm watching it's like watching Strictly 

[kpain16]

As the guy in the Croatian studio says, shame it wasn't Uruguay. That would have been a match.

[Mr Adam]

Keane  

let them dance man

whats wrong with saying “ I don’t like it but fair enough” rather than saying it’s wrong 

[Haguey]

Hope Croatia dance for every goal they score in the QF

[The_jagster]

Korea's problem isnt necessarily committing too many players froward, they just can't defend.

Goals one and three they have the numbers, but not the ability.

I put a 5er on Uruguay to shithouse their way to final  Honestly thought they’d get second and would have been ideal opponents for Brazil.

So they won't be dancing then. 

[Weezer]

The upsets have dried up significantly in the knockouts.

[GunmaN1905]

 

Since this is over, I knew Richarlison goal was familiar.

Textbook example of triangle.

Here are the two more or less same goals, can anyone remember some more?

Alisson has had lots of practice for that save this season.
