Brazil won't have won any fans here mind.

Don't like like champions to be at all.

Thing is, for all he’s a ****, Neymar is sensational, and he will be better every game.

This is them basically through I’d wager and as he gets fitter they get better.

Side note, Coutinho and Douglas Costa are just sensational footballers aren’t they? Incredible to watch the pair of them.

No idea why he's bawling his eyes out.

Its Marcelo for me. Love watching that guy.

That goal was well offside.
 
Missed the last 5 minutes and just seen the result.

Sort of gutted for Costa Rica but serves them right for all that stupid cheating at the end.
 
Can’t be offside mate ball in didn’t go forward.

I know you’re in Oz now but basics lad, basics.

Ball went forwards. Passed it behind the six yard box, receive it inside the six yard box.

Even upside down I could see that old man.
 
The ball went square, Neymar travelled forward.

Also, both were behind last man but level with each other, so regardless, still onside as Neymar wasn’t ahead of crosser.

Direction of the ball looked forward from the replay I saw. Looked like it passed the line.

Didn't know it was the players position that mattered, thought it was the direction of the pass. Been wrong before. Will be again. Likely several times this evening.

It’s like how a team can pass a penalty and return it and not be offside, if your level the passing player effectively counts as ‘last man’.

There was zero question of offside.
 
Another good game tonight. Two cracking finishes from the Swiss, meaning the Serbs have to go all out against Brazil next week.

Can’t wait for Germany vs Sweden. Big banana skin in the making for dad Booters.

Torn between wanting Brazil to put on a show and the top nations staying ****e.

Hmm.

I know what you mean. This tournament is lacking world class football. As much as I want us to bring it home. I just don't feel I'm getting value with the top teams not turning up.

It's 2nd tier scrappy let face it. **** tournament.
