No its definitely the other way around, as was posted.

 

People are judging Brazil on the stereotype of samba football, but this team are very efficient, very solid, and very good in all areas.

 

Not to say Belgium couldn't win, but Brazil are the most complete outfit in the tournament.

You could be wrong though. You might be right. It’s all just so confusing. Just think Brazil are boring and Neymar is the Queen of the World Cup.

People think this Brazil side isn't convincing because it doesn't play like a Vintage Brazilian side but they have the look of a team that hasn't gone through all of the gears. I could see this being good because I think Brazil will have to go through all of the gears to win this one.

They are a really good side but have flattered to deceive in large parts so far. I do think Brazil have a gear to go up for sure

The point of this team is that they are more functional than fancy. They have only conceded 4 goals in the last 18 games and that includes qualifiers against the top teams in South America and playing the biggest teams in Europe.

Good Luck to Brazil today

I don’t think Brazil have proved anything yet, it was a decent performance against Mexico in the end but they struggled early on. If Mexico had gotten in front we might have seen what they are made of, I don’t think Belgium will beat them though.

I think you will prove to be right, I think it’s Brazil’s to lose but the French will provide a real challenge to them with the firepower and dynamic midfield. I’m just hoping Uruguay and Belgium don’t get in the way because that is the most mouth watering tie this World Cup has to offer.

Looking forward to this one! Think Brazil will show up and finally show their true class today (I hope, lumped on them).

[Nick]

I reckon 2-1 Brazil but lets be honest - in this World Cup I wouldn't be surprised at any scoreline. Depends if either team show up!

[ARM1968]

Hope they both show up and it finishes 4-4. Then pens.

When given the platform to provide analysis, how shit is Rio Ferdinand, just mentions players name, like just their names, nothing about them or anything:

'Err errr you got De Bruyne, Neymar, Hazard, big names'

[foxfanazer]

This could be a belter. Be good to see Brazil go behind and see how they respond 

[Sir Shep]

Oh goody, a Neymar rubfest cause I didn’t know he’s a famous player. 

[Sir Shep]

I hope Belguim stuff em, then there’ll  be no more diving cheaters left.

Murphy's Cheshire / London hybrid accent is the biggest turn off in footy

Did he just say fa cup quarter final  

[Max Wall]

Unusually indecisive on this one.

Part of me would like a Brazil v France semi final but I find Brazil much more dislikable than the Belgians.

Guess I don't really care which makes my excitement harder to fathom. 

Makings of a classic, probably turn out instantly forgettable. Hope I'm wrong.

Maybe he's a scrabble fiend. They'd all score well.

Pearce and Murphy, what a way to dampen a hotly anticipated watch.

Was just about to post this.

 

Pearce is so poor as a commentator nowadays.

 

I remember the fiasco he was making at 2014 world cup about goal line technology during a France game. He was watching the wrong moment of an incident

[Max Wall]

Why is Macy Gray playing for Brazil?

Willian's hair has gone loco.

[Carl the Llama]

Belgium are crap at defending corners, if we get to the final I hope it's against them  

[foxfanazer]

Much better feel to this game already than the France one. Belgium’s defending from set pieces is diabolical 

[Max Wall]

Wow, let's see what you can do now Brazil

[foxfanazer]

 oh dear
