So apparently the VAR in the Serbia-Switzerland match, Felix Zwayer, was caught in a match fixing scandal in 2005 and suspended for 6 months. Now he's been promoted to a referee at the World Cup, obviously not having learned anything from his suspension. This is actually comical.

For some reason, I missed Krstajic's comments about Brych. As terrible as Brych was, that's gotta be a suspension IMO.

Injuries really piling up for Brazil. Marcelo is best outside back in the world, irreplaceable, but can't believe they didn't call up Alex Sandro

Midfield and defence outplayed with one pass.
Can't happen on this stage if you want to go through.

In other news, Neymar apparently is still rolling on the sideline.

Neymar gets pulled down by his shoulder; grabs his face. Seems legit.

Perfect timing for that goal. Serbia had their chances, now they're basically done.

Neymar and Coutinho were pretty good. Brazil go as far as they go

We played like pussies and we deserved to be eliminated.

And a side note, Neymar is so repulsive, a bigger bitch than Cristiano.
