Just came here to say casemiro is a gem...Richarliaon got both goals but he was the best player in the pitch bar none...complete DM performance

Honestly, I been think say na Modric and Kroos dey carry that guy on the technical side, but he can play

andrewbaba44:


No thanks to injury ,that’s the French front 3 for the World Cup before benzema injury

Giroud is currently eating good

I looked forward to that collab sha, as 9ja no Dey just looking forward to good football, Brazil vs France final , last WC final wasn’t a fair match

Ibime:

Me too...His performance today was really impressive, positionally excellent with a couple of really good passes into the box, and was unlucky not to score...Wonder why Madrid got rid of him instead of Kroos, though he was probably the only one in that midfield who could command a reasonable fee...

the Money man U offered was too big to refuse for a 31 year old who has less than five years to still be playing good ,so is a win win situation,casemeiro went for money , Madrid made profit.

For the records, Richarlison scored a brace, one a rebound off Vinicius' shot. Vinicius also had an assist.

I am stating this now so that subsequently nobody will come and be shouting that Neymar led and dragged Brazil from their opening match to glory.

I pray not to have village people like you.

The above is not necessary. Your prayers have worked.

Neymar injury might be good news for Brazil.

Now they can field a midfield 3 of Casemiro, Guimaraes and Paqueta which will make them more formidable against the top teams

Their team today was too top heavy and too light in midfield to go against other top teams

Serbia virtually played with all central players - Tadic and Milinkovic-Savic flanking Mitrovic in their front 3. It's like they put a block of ten men in the middle of the pitch, even their wingers are CMs and CAMs

YKB
Their midfield looked super light with casemiro bailing them out severally, Fabinho can also be slotted in as a case replacement in case of incasity or as a second DM in a defensive double pivot incase they want to defend a lead, The downside however is that his experience and leadership will be missed in the knockout stages cause whether we like it or not he's the best this current Brazil team has to offer reason why the Serbs focused on manhandling him, Possibly akpororo will be the one to try and lead their attack now with all the pressure, I think whoever will have to stop this Brazil side has to win the midfield battle almost effectively to stop them from spraying passes out wide to their wingers, A casemiro-guimares combo spells danger

A40:
Naah they don't. None of them said anything when Ozil was speaking for Uygur Muslims, when Ozil was speaking about racism and how he was German when they won and Turkish when they lost they all kept mute. Picking and choosing the issues they will show concern about and still forming moral high ground

Nah that one dey vex me pass.
They feel its ok to internationally disrespect and violate another country's law - like that nonsense person from Denmark wearing that dress. Would the same country be happy if Danish laws are/were violated? What's the strong head all about?

andrewbaba44:


You troll raphinha for a chance he missed ,but you act dumb about Vinicius own



Epl will resume soon and all your frauds will continue from where they stopped

Ndi 8th position

Raphina was the worst Brazil forward in that match. He should go and thank vinicios and Richardson for hiding his uselessness.

A40:
Anything Disney is off limits at this point. They have focused on this agenda so much that they don't even bother making these cartoons watchable. Cos why do you make cartoons and feel the need to tell everyone their sexuality? I don't remember ever watching Wacky Races as a kid and wanting to know if Dick Dastardly was gay or non binary

lol.
Thank you. Quality gone to the dogs and even the dogs would reject it.

Omo

Omo bawo? Were you expecting Serbia to beat Brazil just because Mount is not Brazilian?

You no see as their coach dey open chewing gum every 5 mins.

airmark:


Wetin be Omo? No be you talk say Brazil na nonsense team before?

Pulisic - Assist

Leao - Goal

Vinicius -Assist

@Fbs, my picks are doing well.

hahaha. So far yes.
We will get a clearer picture after the 2nd or 3rd rounds of matches.

This is why I don't deal in stats.
Bale didn't have a touch for 12 mins and then won the penalty and scored for Wales
Richarlison barely had any touch but scored 2 goals for Brazil.

The most important stat in football is GOALS! then followed by Assists.

All these xG, X5, defensive lines breaks, looking sideways, lobbed pass, pass received between defensive lines and midfield etc....pffff

I also liked the fact that Brazil are working all the channels, attacking from every angle and taking shots from distance.

This WC is lit so far. Best in entertainment in a long time.

Those who know football and have been watching football longer than you know when the real action starts and those who stood to be counted. It's football novices who talk the way you do.
Many teams have lost their first game and still won the trophy. While you cannot lose any of the knockout games and still win the trophy

Zidane was acknowledged by all to be the best player who led France to world cup 98 but got red carded in the 2nd match missed the 3rd and 4th match out of 7 matches

Basically goals and assists are what counts not shakushaku

Dribbling without goals assists nor shots on target

If your rights as a straight person were at stake,will you be saying this?

Don't tell me about rights. I'm a black man. I know all about having rights trampled upon

I also see the foolishness in wearing an arm band that is going to do nothing to change how Qataris feel about that lifestyle. Wearing some rainbow armbands and gear at the world Cup is typical Western virtue signaling. You people should think for once and stop being willing tools.

Heck even South K vs Uruguay was good too. Teams really entertaining.

What rights are they even talking about?
It's been illegal in Qatar long before it became a law (acceptable by the vocal minority/some) in these western countries yet they are screaming rights? What rights?
They want Qatar to change their laws for them? Who are they?

This Brazil team is so deep it's ridiculous. If they don't win this World Cup they ought to must remain in Qatar.

I saw Guimaraes, Fabinho, Rodrygo, Jesus and Martinelli on the bench and was like WTF

I think the fact that it's going down in the middle of the season also plays a factor. Everybody is still relatively fresh and in shape

It's just the typical Western mentality that their laws and way of life is superior and something everyone must embrace. You want people to celebrate things that is expressly against their customs which is one thing but the fact that you're not even trying to go through appropriate channels, but just doing pocket gestures of defiance makes me ask, do these people want change or do they just want to be noticed. We're kuku in a clout chasing generation

These people pushing this thing just do it for visibility and to clout chase. I don't have a problem with them fighting for their rights to not be jailed or killed but they're not even going about it the right way. Making a sanctuary like football and the world Cup your propaganda tool is peak indoctrination. And it's working

They aren't seeking to just be tolerated and accepted they want you to celebrate them too. Look at us now. It's world Cup time and we're all talking about them. It's a whole war happening in Ukraine but they are the central topic

Mbappe’s wing play is outrageous bro, his quick change of pace is deadly, IMO Mbappe> Dembele > Vinicius.
Dembele over Vini because of his two footedness

in no planet is Dembele better than Vinicius

Squad packed full of violence
Seeing that obvious quality made me instantly lose more hope of an argentine world cup win cause I know tite wont handle them with butter fingers in contrast to his recent winless run against them, It'll take some serious football thinking or something special to oust these guys, England should be thankful their road to the final collides with at worst France and Portugal not possibly them, Spain/Germany, the Dutch or even Argentines on the other side if they come up tops in their group
