GunmaN1905 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Unlike Argentina, Brazil has a gameplan and when Neymar takes the ball for his solo-antics he just becomes a detriment to the team. 2 minutes ago, G-Man11 said: Yeah only seen two sides look out of their depth so far, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.

Astafjevs Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I think Brazil are going to be quite reliant on their first XI. Not many different options on the bench to change a game beyond Firmino and maybe Douglas Costa.

FaceCrusher Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Brazil has themselves to blame here, dropped the tempo massively after the goal, probably thinking it would be a walk in the park, and were punished later. Could have won the game comfortably in the first half if they tried, but instead tried to pull a Croatia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Brazil were pretty poor that game. As soon as they scored their goal they took their foot off the gas so to speak and allowed the Swiss to come back. Poor marking on the corner that they conceded from too. That goal from Coutinho is quickly becoming hie trademark. So far none of the big nations have impressed with only France winning and they struggled. Which means it's all set up for England to batter Tunisia and becomes favourites for the World Cup!! Football's coming home! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Switzerland were really slack near the end, giving possession away, may well have been tiredness. Shaqiri should have come off, he was offering nothing near the end, let guys run off him. Brazil have a team of stars, I am sure they'll top this, not particularly challenging, group but they were hardly free flowing here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Brazil would've won this easily if they just kept the pressure on after first goal. Instead, they unnecessarily got foot of the gas, thought Switzerland will just stop playing and got punished for their arrogance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
