Brazil currently 3/1, might be worth a risk if it stays this way till late in the game :)
 
Someone’s put a Feillani wig on here. That’s not the same player I’ve see for the last few years.

How much power from De Bruyne? Boom.
 
Just popped on to say fair play Bobby Martinez. I've been highly critical of his tactical set-up, but he has addressed the exact two issues I highlighted, and it's clearly paying dividends. (Maybe he's been reading??)
1. Carrasco was a poor wing back who didn't want to defend - he's brought in Chadli who seems more solid.
2. De Bruyne was wasted as a deep midfield player, and offered no protection to the defence - he's brought Fellaini in for Mertens and shifted KDB further forward where he can do damage, which he's just done.

Absolute top marks.
 
That’s what happens when you put De Bruyne in his natural position as opposed to having him sitting - just brilliant
 
Brazil 10/1 to win in 90 minutes.
4/1 to qualify.
Cashout now £14.88. :)
 
Think that we could be watching the World Cup winners. 2-0 at half time. Looking very balanced.
 
Brazil without Casemiro and Dani Alves look seriously lacking defensively. Fagner is not coping well against Hazard and Chadli so far, even with Willian's help. Also Casemiro is a lot better in that defensive midfield role than Fernandinho who is more of a box-to-box type midfielder. Casemiro much better defensively and his distribution is so much more consistent.

Jesus hasn't been able to affect the play either. Brazil need to get Firmino up top, they need his work-rate, his pressing and his ability to create chances for his team mates. Jesus hasn't been good enough so far.

Jesus hasn't done a thing all tournament. I would have had Firmino in from the start. The way he linked up with Salah all season, surely he could have played in a similar way to get the best out of Neymar?
 
Wait, what? Firmino on is good, but Willian off? Really? He's been their best player. He's the only one in the Brazil front 4 that actually tracks back - Jesus won't do that as effectively as Willian. Seems the wrong choice to me, lets see how it plays out.

Jesus hasn't done nowt, yet his Brazilian team mates call him the "phenomenon".
Do your homework.
