The one place I think Brazil seriously lack is through the middle of the attack. Fred and Jo are hardly top class strikers.
This match has a real cup match feel. Btw, is it worth listening to the radio commentary instead of the TV? |

Neymar is known to over exaggerate, even when fouled he makes it look cringeworthy.

Yes, kind Sir, I have.
But I've only ever seen a particular player being booed for whatever reason. Never constant booing every time the opposition gets the ball. Dunno, maybe I haven't watched enough football matches? |

Hardly an insurmountable issue. I'd rather see the ref in an alternate kit than one of the teams.

That hair dye's gone wrong for Alves he looks like he's aged twenty years.

Why are Radio 1 doing an incredibly banal commentary?

The reason for the kit change is that "brightness" is also a factor.
One kit has to be light, one has to be dark. I suppose it's for monochrome TVs which must still exist apparently... So Green would perhaps be similar to Yellow on a B&W TV set. |

I didn't say it was. I was just saying I assume the ref is the reason for red Mexico.

Looking at the Mexican fans in the crowd their green tops look dark to me. They're hardly light, anyway.

It's almost as if the Brazillians have been taught to fall by parachutists, the number of rolls they do.

I hope this Brazil team don't go on to win the cup. They're not a great watch compared to other teams, let alone previous Brazil sides.

Mexico clearly looking to invite Brazil on to them and hit them on the counter. They have the pace to do it but they've looked a little sloppy in possession.

Brazil have not impressed me of the leading contenders so far.
I expect a soft decision in their favour if they are making hard work of it |

Fair play to Mexico, they (and their fans) are giving this a go.
