Brazil is certain to make next round here :fan:


Serbia is 4th place with 0 points i guess LOL :joker: :joker: what a weak team they have

[Calderyon]

The goal for Brazil in this WC is to rectify their mistake/humiliation on 2014. Their team is very strong and their motivation is solid, so they will probably run through this group. Switzerland will play solid football and just finish 2nd before Serbia. Costa Rica is team that you should not underestimate and i don´t think other teams will. That´s why they will end up in 4th place, cause everyone is ready for them and don´t let them do another surprise.

I hope we won't embarrass ourselves today!

After what Iceland did yesterday I think that could inspire Serbia to want to replicate the same success.

Whatever happens in today's match I wish the Serbian team the best of luck.

[JerseyWins]

Missed the whole game but NICE win Serbia :clap1:

Seems like it worked (so far)! :D

Kolarov and Tosic were amazing and Segej Milinkovic Savic was really good. Haven't had much chance to watch him play before, he recently started playing for the country team and I'm not a big fan of the Italian league/Lazio.

Kolarov's goal was so so good :clap1:

[bots]

magic goal from brazil

[Vanessa]

Wow, what a goal! :cheer2:

[James]

Neymar must be the most fouled against player in the world.

Serbia played well, I haven't really watched many of your team's games going into the World Cup, but they looked like a solid team to me and could definitely give Brazil and Switzerland a tough match.

[Nicky91]

shocking draw from brazil :laugh:

[Alf]

shocking draw from brazil :laugh:Tough team to beat are the Swiss. They'll be a hard game for anyone.

[Nicky91]

Tough team to beat are the Swiss. They'll be a hard game for anyone.

yeah they are 7th or 6th of the world, not bad i guess for a team who doesn't really have a standout player


i can see why arsenal wants Lichtsteiner, even though he gets older now, he is a player who has a good view of where the passes should go to which player

[Nicky91]

Brazil vs Costa Rica has now begun

[Cherie]

Brazil getting lucky

[Mystic Mock]

Serbia put up a great fight against Switzerland, I'd really thought that they'd got something there.:laugh:

Well done to Brazil and Switzerland on their victories though.

We were so bad last night, especially compared to the Costa Rica game :hehe:

[Nicky91]

[Shaun]

Come on Serbia, make today even more brilliant :clap1:

[Nicky91]

[James]

Group E possible outcomes data visualisation for the final matches.

[Calderyon]

Brazil makes it 1-0 at 36th.

[Calderyon]

Switzerland vs Costa Rica is 1-0 at 41th.

[Northern Monkey]

Serbia with plenty of possession now and creating chances but can’t tuck it away

[Calderyon]

Brazil make it 2-0 at 68th.

That is the game, i think.

[Alf]

Good performance by Brazil so far, living up to their tournament favourite billing.

[Northern Monkey]

Serbia lost their heart now.They CBA

[Calderyon]

Serbia vs Brazil 0-2
Switzerland vs Costa Rica 2-2

Brazil wins the group and Switzerland comes second. Both advance to the knock outs.

[Mystic Mock]

I wasn't overly convinced by them tbh, Serbia just needed a clinical finisher and that game would've been a draw at least I think.

The favourites in my eyes are between Belgium and Croatia, I can't quite make my mind up between them.

[Nicky91]

Serbia :facepalm: all those awkward misses


and Lucky brazil winning :hehe:
