***World Cup 2018 - Brazil v Switzerland***


Cade

Recommended Posts

The last of today's games.

 

Brazil have had a remarkable turn-around since the 7-1 semi-final humiliation by the Germans last time out.

They won their group by 10 points, ending with a record of 12 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, which was on the first match day away to Chile.

After being written off by many people after the 2014 World Cup, they're back as one of the favourites again.

 

Switzerland ended 2nd in their group, level on points with Portugal with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, a 2-0 defeat by Portugal on the final day. 

That last day collapse seemed to affect them, as they struggled past Northern Ireland in the play-off, qualifying with a 1-0 aggregate score.

They never perform well in the finals, only getting as far as the knock-out stages in 2014 and out in the group stage in 2010.

 

Brazil should cruise this.

Love watching Brazil and their fans :pleased: very passionate when it comes to football.

3-0 Brazil.

Are Switzerland the last team we have taken points from in the Euros and Brazil the last team we have got something from in the World Cup? 

 

Or or did we get something from the Norway game in 98?

I think the Swiss will nick a point. 1-1. 

Yep, me too.  The Swiss always raise their game at tournaments.

Brazil by 2 or maybe 3. This tournament is theirs to lose IMO.


@Jammy T: Scotland lost the opening game of France 98 2-1. But then, as Gashauskis said, drew with Norway (and should've beaten them).

After the Mexico/Germany this game will have to lift the excitement a tad.

As Gary Linekar just said "the wait is almost over".

 

He meant England but there is nothing like Brazil in the World Cup.

Let's see if they can scrap. If they can, definatly, alot of carnival players in the squad.

 

Don't expect Switzerland to do anything in this one. Not many dangermen for Brazil to worry about

almost time to see if finally one of the favourites can perform. so far france, germany, spain and portgual (you can count argentina as well if you want) have all been disappointing.

Marcelo might be a bit of an arse with the positional sense of a 7 year old but I love watching him play. He seems to actually enjoy himself and do whatever he feels like.

How on earth does Paulinho get a start for Brazil? 

 

Because he fits into the system the manager likes and does a good job for them.

Hes a very good player tbh. Had a very good season for Barcelona and was excellent for Brazil in the qualifiers, shite at Spurs but he’s not the first good player to flop in England.

Typical run of the mill goal for Brazil. I’m looking for better than this from them. Disappointing :jj:

Admittedly not seen much of him for Barca but watched him twice recently for Brazil and looks a yard slower in thought than his teammates. Much prefer Fernandinho.
