World Cup 2022 Switzerland v Cameroon, Brazil v Serbia, Uruguay v South Korea, Portugal v Ghana - Thursday 24th

[cambie gers]

Except their captain of course.

There's always one

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

Yes. Never noticed how much he looks like Mbappé.

He does a bit. I always thought he looked like Roland Gift that sang with Fine young cannibals.

 

[wilso10]

Serbian number 2 looks like a failed science experiment.

 

[King Richard]

Its probably romanticism from the great teams of the 80s and 90s but it feels the world cup has now started now Brazil are on

 

[WinkieWATP]

Early booking for the Serbs. Refs have been letting a lot go in recent games too.

 

[Awritenobad]

Wee bit of nastiness here.

Love it.

 

[HowdenEnder]

Mitrovic is such a donkey

Looked like he spat in the ref's eye there when he was arguing.

 

[Numans_Left_Peg]

7 minutes in and I want to punch Keown in the throat.

A dour, miserable bàstard.

Makes me yearn for the halcyon days of Lawrenson.

 

[HandsomeHead]

I far preferred when Brazil used to wear gold shirts rather than the dayglo yellow ones they have now.

 

[Leo_Ger]

'This should be a great occasion as we watch 5 time World Cup winners Brazil start their 2022 World Cup campaign and here to ruin it is Martin Keown on co-commentary.'

 

[cambie gers]

The Balkan lads always look like hard bastards.

 

[FriendsDontLie]

Decent crowd for this

Locals either supporting Brazil or being forced to!

 

[julian candy]

Embarrassing stuff from Mitrovic

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Brazil are so fun.

What a pass from Casemiro.

 

[Pirlo]

I far preferred when Brazil used to wear gold shirts rather than the dayglo yellow ones they have now.

Not sure, I think that shade really accentuates their jawlines and brings out their eyes.

I’m trying to fit in its 2022

 

[julian candy]

Brazil playing the horseshoe here

 

[TheHammerJorgAlbertz11]

Vinicius Jnr is class.

 

[Boab4]

Is that big Dragan’s boy in midfield for the Serbs?

 

[Iain04]

Almost scored from that corner

 

[Clay Davis]

Neymar almost pulled that off perfectly

 

[cambie gers]

Brazil playing the horseshoe here

But use in swinging corners.

 

[King Richard]

Great effort from Neynar

 

[BSPECIAL]

I'm a wee bit surprised Emilson Cribari is not in Brazil team or a sub

 

[Damask_Rose]

I missed the studio team being introduced so I thought I'd ask here is that Gilberto Silva in the studio with those three other twats?

I missed the beginning too. Did the camera focus in on scantily clad Brazilian women or is that unacceptable these days?!

 

[Georgethegersfan]

Mon the Serbs real fitba players

 

[King Richard]

The Brazilians aren't scared to put a shift in either

 

[Turd Ferguson]

What's with the pronunciation of Paqueta?

 

[RangersEasyOK]

Mon the Serbs real fitba players

Neymar has more talent in his right foot than Serbia’s entire footballing history combined

 

[GreenockRanger]

The Brazil bench is unbelievable.

 

[MearnsBear]

Serbia have started fairly well here

 

[HowdenEnder]

Great effort from Neynar

 

[GovanFront4]

7 minutes in and I want to punch Keown in the throat.

A dour, miserable bàstard.

Makes me yearn for the halcyon days of Lawrenson.

Lawro was on a football/comedy podcast I listen to and I wasn't looking forward to it but he came across really well. Just think he was playing up to an act by the end of his pundit career tbh.

 

[Leo_Ger]

Just noticed Serbia have a Mladenovic playing.

 

[Damask_Rose]

Just noticed Serbia have a Mladenovic playing.

Enter the Dragan.

 

[I'm So Bored With The MSM]

I missed the beginning too. Did the camera focus in on scantily clad Brazilian women or is that unacceptable these days?!

That escalated quickly!

 

[Georgethegersfan]

Neymar has more talent in his right foot than Serbia’s entire footballing history combined

Hope his feet stop him falling down when a player attempts a challenge

 

[cambie gers]

Just noticed Serbia have a Mladenovic playing.

The Serbian Zidane, ah the memories

 

[Beer Bear]

Vinicius Junior is a phenomenal player. Reminds me of myself.

 

[Truelightblue]

Would love to have been at this match. Looks amazing.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

I'd like to put on record before Brazil skoosh this World Cup that their midfield isn't good enough in my eyes to do so. Casemiro and Paqueta aren't carrying that front 4 and there isn't enough pace at the back against the best teams.

 

[Ataturk]

Enter the Dragan.

Barry Horne on Mladenovic when we signed him:

‘It was the first time I had seen him but I thought he had a bit of everything. He had skill, stature, vision, passing, movement and the goal he scored in the game was a beauty.‘

'The name really stuck after that and I was telling everybody about him. The best thing I could think to say was that he reminded me of Zidane.‘

'He lets the ball do the work and never seems hurried. He ran the game against Wales by playing at his own pace.‘

'I told a few clubs to go and have a look at him and I'm surprised it has taken him this long to get a move.‘

‘Rangers have signed a top-class player.'

 

[Numans_Left_Peg]

Vinicius Junior is a phenomenal player. Reminds me of myself.

The wee scrawny black guy bit?

He is brilliant, seems to run faster when dribbling.

 

[Nizzy72]

Brazil have still to actually get going here.

 

[exeterbear]

Surely Brazil have a better striker than Richarlison. Second choice to Harry Kane at Tottenham.

 

[Leo_Ger]

Neymar has more talent in his right foot than Serbia’s entire footballing history combined

The Serbian manager was a player before his injuries.

 

[Paisleybear30]

Serbian number 2 looks like a failed science experiment.

He looks like an exact cross of Scott Brown and the boxer Nikolai Valuev

 

[Numans_Left_Peg]

Surely Brazil have a better striker than Richarlison. Second choice to the Harry Kane at Tottenham.

They have our Lord and Saviour on the bench, has been on fire for Arsenal.

 

[WinkieWATP]

Vini Jr should be getting to that before the keeper surely?

 

[Sheik Ma Shammy]

Barisic can put in a better ball than that.

 

[fmp]

That was really good decisive goalkeeping. Get him signed
