    0-0 HT. Good half for Mexico, I love it that they leave 3 up top when defending corners.

    I'll be interested to see where he goes. He's been one of my favourite players to watch in the tournament so far, though sadly I'm missing this game.

    Is that your violin on the Brazil bench?










    No, it's Marcelo.

    1-0 Neymar. Great goal, made by Willian.

    Neymar symbolises everything that is wrong with modern football.

    You'd want to foul him, were you playing him. That's how he comes across to me.

    He didn’t even put any force into it basically just placed his foot on his ankle. Red card for me but still Neymars reaction was that of someone being shot by a 50 cal sniper.

    The Russian authorities have got to do something about this. People are shooting the Brazilian players.

    Can we just rename Brazil, "the cheats"?

    Im looking forward to the day when the commentators remark 'that's probably the last time we'll see Neymar on the world stage." An odious individual.

    2-0 Firmino. Neymar can actually play a bit, as well as cheat.

    Obviously it doesn't beat Mbappe vs Argentina, but Willian has been very impressive for me in this game. Easily the stand-out player.

    I know it was only a tap in, but when will Brazil finally start Firmino ahead of Jesus?

    Always hated Brazil. Quite unreasonably. It's because they have been held up as a brilliant side my whole life. They are classed with Germany in my death list. Hoped somebody would dump them out of this cup...ah well, guess England will have to do it. :)

    I'll be very surprised if they get through Belgium and France.

    At least this in this match they mentioned the vexing ambiguity between the inevitable quadrennial hype surrounding Brazil, and what is the reality of the past 36 years. This has to be one of the more entertaining sides during that time, and they're not all that in terms of 'samba magic'

    In fact the most entertaining thing will be the inevitable gifs of that git Neymar being thoroughly electrocuted by that Emperor bloke from Star Wars.
