World Cup day 9.

Almost all the Brazil shots have been from distance.

Considering the close footwork & passing ability they possess in the midfield & upfront that is staggeringly inept.
 
It's not just Coutinho. You expect him to do that & he scores enough of them that it's understandable.

However all the others are doing it. That Neymar run into space was the first time they tried to play the ball into the box to feet that I remember.
 
Cos there's no room for both him & Coutinho with Neymar in the side & they're seemingly incapable of learning from the simply stupid mistake of making their team all about him like they did in the last WC.

In fairness he was fantastic last World Cup til he had his back broken.

Firmino > Jesus

Bereft of intelligent movement and incisive passing of guess
 
Just then, turned in the box, made space, three men to look & lifted it in just ten yards away instead of playing to feet or dribbling to find a shot.

They're not playing to their strengths at all.
 
Brazil have looked shite this tournament

I couldn't believe the hype around them pre tournament, they've fuck all chance of winning it but for the first WC in years I can't see any stand out sides that look capable.

Braszil have no chance though

The Germans will win. It won't be at all pretty on the way but they know how to win a tournament ugly which is more than any of the other sides.

Same.

I thought they'd be top 4 in the tournament, but not winning it

But this isn't great like
 
What the fuck is Neymar? What is he even meant to be doing? It is patently obvious they'd be a better team without him in the side, certainly in this form.
 
I'm not seeing too many 'teams' just 10 fellas and a great player for a lot of countries.

Whoever wins it will be whoever works out how to play like a team. Or maybe England as they seem fairly balanced and there great player is a natural poacher.
 
Neymar is the biggest pussy of a player Ive ever seen. He gets fouled alot but he turns everything into the most hysterical overreaction

So far Croatia and Belgium look the best balanced sides.
 
The odds on Coutinho were so shit I didn't bother putting odds on him as first goalscorer like I originally decided to.

Those odds don't look daft at all now cos he's easily the most likely to score based on what we've seen so far.
 
And also

Playing in a shite uncompetitive league won't have helped surely?
