2018 FIFA World Cup, Group Stage: Brazil 1 : 1 Switzerland 2018-06-17

in #news6 years ago

Brazil joined the host of big guns who have failed to fire in their opening World Cup game as lax defending from a corner allowed Switzerland to cancel out Philippe Coutinho's spectacular curling strike and grab a 1-1 draw on Sunday.

20': Coutinho scores a goal.

50': Steven Zuber scores a goal, assisted by Xherdan Shaqiri.

90': Roberto Firmino almost scores a goal, assisted by Neymar.

Bullshit Time: 

Unlucky for Brazil, they created so many chances during the game, but only scored one goal which is by fantastic Coutinho's shot. Brazil should give more time to Firmino, he might be more useful than Jesus in this game. Neymar was still hard to stop in the game. Switzerland had to knock him down to stop him.

Switzerland defended almost 90 minutes, and seized one chance to score a goal because of the lax defense from Brazil.

Man of the match: Neymar, 26 years old, 175cm, 68kg, has 19 goals and 13 assists in Ligue 1, 6 goals and 3 assists in UEFA Champions League for PSG last season.

Game End

come what may, i still rooted on Brazilian warriors, wwoohhOoOo

Brazil played a great first half but fell asleep in the second half and played very passively. Lots of upsets so far!!!

better luck next time :)

The world cup is exciting but I'm not that big of a soccer fan

Brazil got a goal from fantastic shot of Coutinho.But I think you are right Firminho might be more useful even if Firminho would start the match may be we can get a goal from him.Firminho may be the right choice in the place of Jesus.Swizerland tried very hard to stop Neymar by tackeling him.Because of the mistake of Brazilian defender Miranda they scored a goal against us.

Brazil was winner alwase production

Brazil can easily knock down Switzerland, if they try it harder...

I still prefer Brazil, despite their poor performance.

I quite disagree with you saying Switzerland defended for almost 90 minutes. That's a very harsh one on the Swiss and downplays their robust effort. They were a very decent side especially in the first half. Once they found the equaliser, well, perhaps, they switched off a little but but you can't blame them for that, it's better to draw and get a point against a team like Brazil than lose the whole three points.

Don't forget they were one of the best teams in the European qualifiers, ranked sixth in the World and defeated Spain in 2010.

They gave a good account of themselves in my honest opinion.
