Brazil v Switzerland, 19:00 BST, ITV.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lichtsteiner and Xhaka to destroy them. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil: Alisson; Danilo, Thiago, Miranda, Marcelo; Coutinho, Casemiro, Paulinho; Neymar, Jesus, Willian.

Switzerland: Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Schar, Akanji, Rodriguez; Shaqiri, Behrami, Xhaka, Zuber; Dzemaili; Seferovic.

Come on Switzerland. :bow:

[Goonermerree]

The favourite teams in matches are not having it all their own way, so why not a Swiss win or at least a draw?

[Syn]

Just seen the Brazil line-up. Fucking hell. Casemiro the world's best CM right now?

Still sticking a fiver on Switzerland. We don't know a lot about them, but they'll be efficient, watchful, organised and very neutral in the final third.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

No Firminho?


And lol Paulinho? WTF? Fernandinho anytime over him.


Time for Xhaka to show up these clowns. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Neville, Keane, Billic & Wright in the studio

[Globalgunner]

No Firminho?


And lol Paulinho? WTF? Fernandinho anytime over him.


Time for Xhaka to show up these clowns. :bow:

I dont get that either. Firminho over Jesus anyday for me. Is Senderos not playing, what about Djourou?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh yeah I forgot that Lichtsteiner is one of ours now.

Want to see some proper old school shithousery from him .... ideally some kicks at Jesus & Neymar.


I dont get that either. Firminho over Jesus anyday for me. Is Senderos not playing, what about Djourou?

More that he should be starting over Willian as the third attacker. Willian has struggled to get into the Chelsea side lately - he shouldn't be starting ahead of Firminho who's been phenomenal under Klopp.

[Master Splinter]

No Firminho?


And lol Paulinho? WTF? Fernandinho anytime over him.



Jesus is firmly their number one striker. And it's not as if their front four is lacking.

Paulinho is and has been first choice for Brazil for years. Having Casemeiro and Fernandinho playing together is overkill.

[Master Splinter]

More that he should be starting over Willian as the third attacker. Willian has struggled to get into the Chelsea side lately - he shouldn't be starting ahead of Firminho who's been phenomenal under Klopp.

It's different systems though.

Just because they do well in the BLITW doesn't mean they're automatic starters for their country. Brazil might be crap today, but so far Tite has transformed Brazil and it's hard to question his record.

[Cripps]

Lichtsteiner :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Neymar needs dropping for the noodle hair.

[Marc Overmars]

Brazil national anthem :bow:

[Özim]

Hope Brazil smash Switzerland.

Looking forward to seeing them, so many quality players.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah time for the pan across the Brazil squad before the lyrics kick in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or not. :lol:

Me. :lol:

[Özim]

Come on Brazil!

[Özim]

Xhaka awful challenge on Neymar. Should have been booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka letting Neymar know he is there. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Xhaka :haha:

What a clogger

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Xhaka :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Paulinho scuffs it wide somehow.

[Özim]

Switzerland got lucky Brazil ripped them apart and almost scored.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Lucky Paulinho is shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar's Sudden Death #2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar. :haha:

Good freekick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor cross from Jesus.

[Özim]

Countinho great goal!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 1-0 Switzerland, Coutinho.

What a goal.

[Master Splinter]

COUTINHOOOOO!!!

[Marc Overmars]

COUTINHO!!!

What a goal

[Marc Overmars]

Ridiculous how many times Coutinho has scored that type of goal.

[Globalgunner]

What a hit Countinho!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Liverpool :haha:.

Although the next ten are going out of the stadium.

[Özim]

Xhaka did what he does best and gave the ball away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casemiro and Cher are dead.

[hobson's choice]

How is Xhaka a professional football player. Literally does nothing other than giving the ball away in dangerous situations

[Özim]

Shocking passing by Xhaka, supposedly that's his only talent, pretty woeful at it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rick Steiner. :bow:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Our boy gets a yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Miles wide from Jesus.

[Goonermerree]

Lichsteiner doesn't look too bad. Charging forward and stuff. Didn't like his dive, do that and he'll get booked a lot in the Prem. Will keep Bellerin on his toes.

[Master Splinter]

Marcelo's technique is ridiculous.

Worth £200m alone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago Silva KTFO. :lol:

[Goonermerree]

Most of Switzerland's players first touches are poor and they're giving the ball away too much. Not taking their chances.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[Master Splinter]

If Switzerland had star man Alexander Frei playing, they'd be winning.

[Cripps]

Lichsteiner :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think Brazil sat back a bit too much in the second part of the half which allowed Xhaka the opportunity to boot it out of play.

[Master Splinter]

ZUBER!!!

[Marc Overmars]

1-1!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

For all Brazil's supposed domination they haven't put this to bed yet. Fancy the Swiss to knick something.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1! :haha:

[LDG]

Brazil :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I SWEAR TO GOD I TYPED THAT BEFORE THE GOAL WENT IN ON MY STREAM!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Zim :haha::haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Titty. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

For all Brazil's supposed domination they haven't put this to bed yet. Fancy the Swiss to knick something.

They only had one clear chance apart from Coutinho's usual hit and hope.

[LDG]

Nemar is shocking. And Will.I.am is also very overrated.

[SMatthews]

Neymar whining about the goal like a bitch as usual

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Six more please. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Behrami knocking one out?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Lichtsteiner was the guy who won that corner in the first place.

Technically he should get the most credit out of anyone for that goal.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh piss off Blattenberg. No way should that goal be disallowed.

[Goonermerree]

It could get silly if every little hand on shoulder, back got a goal disallowed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casemiro off, Fernandinho on.

Er.

[Master Splinter]

Fernadinho with the scroting straight away.

[Master Splinter]

Marcelo boots it out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cher booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho volley but out it goes, deflected.

[Master Splinter]

Neymar has been so shit that a 90th minute winner from him is almost guaranteed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Paulinho hauled off, Augusto on.

[Master Splinter]

Neymar is Behrami's bitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar rolling about. :haha:

Behrami booked.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Still no Firmino?

Tite must hate those teeth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho. :lol:

If it was 20 yards further back it'd have gone in.

[Master Splinter]

Coutinho :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Behrami off, Zaharia on.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Cuntiho :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus dives!

[SMatthews]

Brazil diving becuase they’re struggling to turn over a shit team like Switzerland

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dixon calling out Clattenburg on his bullshit. :haha:

[Özim]

Come on Brazil!

[Globalgunner]

Coach should put the hook in Neymar and play Firminho

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We might catch up with that one from Fernandinho in Qatar 2022.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus off, Firmino on.

[Globalgunner]

Jesus is crap.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seferovic off, Embolo on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Neymar is actually a liability

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lichtsteiner is dead.

[Master Splinter]

Lichtsteiner injured.

Wenger :doh:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I'm sure it's just cramp. He's an old man after all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar header, straight at Sommer.

[Marc Overmars]

Lichsteiner looked decent.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Yeah fuck off Neymar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful from Shaqiri.

[Goonermerree]

Shaqiri has had a good game on the whole.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sommer saves again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Great save.

[Goonermerree]

Come on Switzerland , hold on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Miranda slashes it wide! :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Miranda :lol:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Lichsteiner goes off and the Swiss defence goes to shit.

[Goonermerree]

Free kick, come on hold on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Brazil. :sick:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Will Neymar do a Ronaldo or a Messi?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Cher!

[SMatthews]

Neymar is such a fraud

[Goonermerree]

Blow your whistle ref.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brazil 1-1 Switzerland, FT! :haha:

Brazil. :haha:

Tite. :haha:

Neymar. :haha:

Xhaka. :bow:

MotM and dominated the midfield.

[Goonermerree]

The big teams not always delivering.

[Özim]

Lucky Switzerland, hope Serbia smash them.

[Master Splinter]

Brazil :lol:.

Neymar :lol:.

Pele :lol:.

Gustavo Kuerten :lol:.

Blanka :lol:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Brazil :haha:

Neymar :haha:

7 - 1 :haha:

Zim :haha:

Xhaka haters :haha:


Xhaka MoTM. Bossed it in the second half.

[Cripps]

Neymar :haha: Is that what £200m gets you nowadays? :doh:

Thought Lichtsteiner was pretty solid even though he had zero cover from Shaqiri :doh: As a world class full back myself back in the day, I know that half of a full backs game is dependent on the winger helping and tracking back. Shaqiri left him completely exposed :doh:

Lichtsteiner, despite being 34, didn't look out of place against the younger lot :bow:

[Letters]

What kind of shirt is that, Wright?! :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bilic. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck off Clattenburg, we know what you did as a ref.

[Letters]

It was a foul though, wasn't it? :shrug:

What is the point of VAR if stuff like this is still got wrong?

[Cripps]

Fuck off Clattenburg, we know what you did as a ref.

He made Spurs self-destruct.

Legend.

[Cripps]

It was a foul though, wasn't it? :shrug:

What is the point of VAR if stuff like this is still got wrong?

I didn't think it was :unsure:

Yeah he put hands on his back and there was a slight shove, but it wasn't too strong a shove or overly aggressive :unsure:

[Marc Overmars]

Players always tend to use their arms to gain some leverage, the defender should have been much stronger. Didn’t see much wrong with it personally.

[Letters]

It was enough to stop the defender challenging for the ball :shrug:
Didn't see it in real time but that's what VAR is for.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

It was enough to stop the defender challenging for the ball :shrug:
Didn't see it in real time but that's what VAR is for.

Then the fault lies with the defender for deciding that small a contact was enough for him to give up, not the referee.

If that was given you'll be giving a penalty for every other corner or free kick into the box.
