Brasil struggle in the World Cup

Tweet

Traditionally The World Cup does not really get underway until Brazil play so we can judge them against the other teams. In the great years of World Cup from the 1960s to the 1980s they were sexy, super skilled ad great to watch. It was an event. Now they are more normal and measured in the modern game and dont look like the champions this year after a 1-1 draw with Switzerland. Neymar takes over the show and wastes a lot of ball. They will go through the group stages but semi finals for me. This was the first time in a long while Brazil had not won their opening group game. Costa Rica were pretty poor in the other group match and lost to a solid Serbian side.1-0. The big shock of the night was holders Germany's defeat to Mexico. Germany can start slowly and will, like Brazil, bounce back in match two,but, unlike Brazil, they get stronger and stronger in the tournament. If they cant fight World Wars anymore they will win the World Cup instead.
