Coutinho been one of the players of the tournament for me, so far.

They're obviously not, presuming one is 17, but that font is bollocks

 

That bloke in the crowd  clearly mouthing it's mine

Oh well, I blame the ITV player for its crappy image quality (compared to the BBC iplayer)

I don’t think you could bet against Brazil not going all the way playing like this.

Serbs have well and truly give up

Brazil aren't anything special, one of the most mediocre teams I've seen of theirs in 28 years of following world cups. 

[Mr Mister]

Brazil will win this World Cup.

Brazil are a serious outfit.

One thing that does my head in though is, Neymar in full flow is almost unstoppable (legally) when dribbling in full flow. I just dont like the way he slows everything down to a walk, it achieves nothing, other than when he is fainting briefly ready for a burst of speed.

But i keep watching him trot inside at walking speed, hold on to the ball far too long, then just play a 5 yard nothing ball. Not what i expect from a player of his quality.

I think theyre going to be the team to beat though. always feel they have another level or two they can go to if needed.

It isn’t the best Brazil over the last 40 years or so however it is much better than 4 years ago for sure when for me they weren’t convincing at all even though they made the semi final with Home advantage they were very average. This team is better

 

however that said I would expect and I mean expect England would beat them on current form

 

cant say I have ever said that before as normally Brazil are well errm Brazil

I can’t really be doing with him tbh. He seems to think he’s untouchable and he goes over far too easily for me. 

 

I’m sure he’s got the skills to pay the bills but far from one of my favourite players. Comes across as a bit of a spoilt brat to me.

 

He is an amazing player, no doubt but I can't deal with his flopping around. He is the type of player that gets the game a bad rep.

i really like him  

I watched him play for Fulham a few times this year & I think he is damn good. Gives his all every game and very good in the air. I'm excited to see him in the Prem this year.

Out of the traditional big teams, Brazil have looked marginally the best. However, I think we may see a first time winner this year, maybe even a second time winner...

I don't really think so. England can hold them to a draw after AET, but that would be about it. I can see Brazil pulling something out of nothing during AET though.

Yeah maybe I mean Brazil are Brazil and they can play top top football when they want but I just genuinely think England would edge it if they played at the moment (or later in the tournament) just an opinion like but that’s mine for what it’s worth

France haven't been that convincing for my money.
