Big game between Costa Rica and Serbia. It will be a massive climb for whoever loses that game to even stand a chance of qualifying for the next round.

I reckon Switzerland can be competitive for periods of the game, but Brazil should be looking at 9 points in this group without making it difficult for themselves.

[Dalmore]

All my money on Brazil today. MY HOUSE. TAKE MY HOUSE.

As seeing that all favourites have struggled in their opening match. 

Brazil 1-1 Switzerland

Applauded her when she made an informed, intelligent comment about the Costa Ricans. The fella is a wanker.

ah okay.

I can't stand him either. I never got the fuss over his videos that he does.

Costa Rica would win this World Cup if they weren't Costa Rican's.

The battle for second place in this group is an interesting one. All 3 sides have a shout.

Will be Switzerland, i even have them to draw Brazil tonight.

bad miss from Costa Rica there. Free header in the 6 yard box. Not even close to being on target.

[Azeem]

Poor finish.

[Stan]

great effort. would have stood as well if it went in. 

What happened to linesman not calling tight offsides...

it was, they were nearly level. Either way he put his flag up incorrectly  

[Stan]

brilliant play from Mitrovic but that should have been a goal. 

[Stan]

Lovely free-kick from the specialist Kolarov. Beautiful hit.

[Stan]

Mitrovic should have had a goal today. Poor finishing.

How have Serbia been?

I've given them and Croatia a lot of stick for being overrated, but truth be told you can't have teams of that level and underachieve like you do. I kind of want to see them do well.

better than Costa Rica today.

Milinkovic-Savic, with the help of Matic and Milivojevic, has run the midfield.

They could and should have won this about 3-0. Costa Rica have only had about one clear cut chance and that came in the first 15 minutes where they missed a free header.

Serbia have had a lot of possession and it was a bit slow in the first half but they were still the better team. They've improved 2nd half. I expect them to beat Switzerland as well but still lose to Brazil.

[Stan]

haha wtf is Matic doing? What a knob. No need.

[Cicero]

SMS is so brilliant technically 

[Azeem]

That was stupid

[Stan]

now Costa Rica players trying to get that Serbia player sent off. That's never a red
