    Canny second half that. Mad. Not great football. But entertaining in its own way.

    40 years since the greatest team never to win this thing. I hope these carry the spirit of Tele Santana. They are not as flambouyant, but are still beautiful.

    Which Brazil will turn up? The fluid attacking force or the disorganised mess?

    Only change I would have made would have been Gabriel Jesus in for Richarlason.

    Some canny players in that Serbia team though.

    3-1 Brazil

    Brazil are an incredible football team. However, I've always thought they're ****ing dull to watch.

    I know exactly what you mean but you're not allowed to say it ...

    ... 95% of what they do is 'European', it's the 5% that sets them apart.

    It does feel like footballing identity has been dramatically diluted in recent years. A lot of the African teams feel 95% European in style now as well and not really any different to a mid ranking European team. The spectacle is certainly less entertaining for it in my opinion.
