or is it the same reason people hate Spain, that they can play a more skillful team game than England's hoofers?

To be honest, 90% is down to Neymar. The others I don't particularly care about, except for Jesus being picked ahead of Firmino :wacko:

It will be interesting to see how Brazil's defence copes against Belgium's firepower in the next round.

Great win for Brazil!

I'd say their defence is probably the best in the competition.

Looks like that way. Which probably makes them the clear favourites.

Come on Brazil, the neutrals favourites and most people's 2nd team after their own nation to win in, plus it's the home of football :bow:

Delivered for his country on the big stage :bow:

The transition is complete... Ronaldo, Salah, Neymar then Messi :bow:

Clattenburg is Gazza in an alternate universe where he had a successful post-retirement career and wasn't a fat, wife-beating, alcoholic clown.
