Came closer to scoring twice than before he was on

Seriously dude... you honestly don't think they are more balanced with a skilful worker among the dandys around him up front?

An unselfish guy among a bucket of selfish egos?

 

Aside from Firmino and maybe Douglas Costa being started, I don't know what more Brazil have to offer. Have they left anyone notable at home?
Can't understand why they were rated with the favourites, other than history and name recognition with Neymar, in which case Argentina and Portugal should have been rated higher, but they weren't as their squads where ****.

Really how much has changed from 4 years ago for Brazil?
They play a bunch of average teams and a fading Argentina in South America

 

Belgium should be killing this game off.

 

TBH it doesn't make a lot of difference to this team, maybe if they passed the ball more instead of all trying to be the star he would see more of the ball.

 

Trying to conserve energy.

Which hasn't really worked as Brazil have scored.

 

Brazil scored game on.

 

Lovely move by Brazil and finish. Coutinho doing the business. Belgium may rue not killing this off.

 

Exactly its what I mean... no balance... mist teams would beg for "workhorses" like a Firmino (tevez springs to mind) ... have yer neymars etc but Brazil need to start picking the odd Milner lol

 

Silly in my opinion. Brazil still have enough quality to bang in a couple.

 

Agreed, should have got the third and destroyed all Brazilian hope. Which is back as they've scored.

Also they should have used subs, Demebele is needed.

 

What is Martinez waiting for. Make your bloody subs!

 

Martinez is to blame here, what is he doing ball watching. The Belgium players are clearly tired but he still has Dembelle on the bench

 

Another pet hate.... card "crampers"...

 

Or at least ignore them... it's not a threatening injury lol

 

Bottled Couts

 

Coutinho what a miss?.

 

Belgium on the ropes here. Brazil won't have a better chance.

 

Counter attack by Belgium can be dangerous.

 

They look knackered. That Hazard pass a little while ago was telling.

 

Why isn't Martinez putting on Dembele?
