The fact that Brazil can play shit 60 minutes and still win makes me think they have a very good chance of winning this world cup

Puskas award right there.

Can Brazil and England meet in the final or is it sooner?

I think if we both win our groups we can't meet till the final but I could be wrong

Can’t believe that Tottenham flop is shining on the world stage. He’s shite.

 

or so I’ve been told……

Depends if it's just after a 3-2 victory after being 2-0 down at half time.

Special goal that. Very Richarlison to turn up and bag a brace at the World Cup after not scoring in a league game yet this season.

[Lucas]

Richarlison may have got the goals but both have come from Vinicius Junior's threat on the left.

You could see how scared the Serbian's were to tackle him. He's so nippy and because he's such a threat, he takes the opposition away from other players.

Nah the REAL strat brazil should have used is playing Fabinho up front that would have worked way better than playing a middling striker. 

[Reluctant Striker]

Richardson's 2nd likely just won goal of the tournament, if anyone missed it.

I may be wrong, but haven't Spurs & before that Everton often used him as a wide attacker? (Off Kane & Calvert Lewin?)

If he gets the golden boot & scores a few more stunners he may well be seen & used differently. Or end up at 1 of those clubs that collect World Cup performers.

Fair play to the Brazil manager. I'm another that would have gone for Gabriel Jesus.

[Waylander]

Took some time to break Serbia down and you would have expected them to score more later yet didn't.

The first seemed to come from attackers like Richarlison gambling on the knockdowns from long range shots and two of them were there for the first goal with Richarlison grabbing it.

His second was a clever finish.

It will take a strong side to beat Brazil not because they are great yet can produce some magic and enough of them work hard. They have a decent squad too.

Silva and Richarlison stood out for me.

They have time to get better too.

I would be tempted to start with Martinelli rather than Rapinha if this could work as I realise they work on different wings.

Liked Sandro's attempted goal shot which came off the post.

Richarlison always delivers for Brazil. 9 in 7.

You really wanted this to be your first World Cup related post?

Richarlison is still just okay though. He'll score a decent goal to make some people think otherwise but others have seen his performances be inconsistent his whole career so won't fall for it.

I'd say he's probably good 35% of the time.

Yes, why wouldn’t I? Weird flex

His record for Brazil is outstanding. That’s how he should be judged at international level.

Well, Brazil ran out comfortable 2-0 winners in this match, with Richarlison scoring both goals. Before his two goals, Alex Sandro went very close to opening the scoring, after his powerful long range shot from well outside the area hit the post. Richarlison scored his 1st goal with a tap in, after the Serbian keeper Milenkovic-Savic blocked Vinicius Junior's shot. Richarlison's 2nd goal was much more spectacular, as he struck the ball with a bicycle kick, that rocketed in the net to make it 2-0 to Brazil. Thus game, was a well-deserved win for Brazil.
