Wasn't expecting that. I'm surprised there was no score, was still a good game between Mexico and Brazil.

Chile has midgets for center-backs...that would be a good match however Spain will be a tough task for them because of height

This save was so good, unfortunately one of many in this game.

Brazil is weak as fck. Weak and floppy. Dayum. This looks like a B team, honestly. They are going to get trashed by Germany or the Netherlands. This is probably one of the weakest Brazilian teams in history. I'm a Brazil fan, but the moment Fred flopped like a biatch it turned me off big time. Still rooting for them, but Brazilians should prepare for the worst because this kind of quality will not win the WC.

Dont overreact after a bad game. The only goal you conceeded so far was an own goal and it took the best game of a keepers career for Mexico to grab a very lucky 0-0 draw.

The defense is very stable with Luiz, Silva, Cesar, Gustavo and Ramires. Marcelo & Dani Alves are obviously maybe a bit offensive minded but Scolari has them in check.

It will be very difficult for other teams to score against you guys. Mexico didnt have a single great chance in the penalty area for 90 minutes, Croatia didnt have many either.

The only position with room for improvement for me is CF. Fred had been terrible. If you guys had Diego Costa you would be ranked no. 1 on my WC favourite list right now.

Probably it is just that you Brazilians are used to fielding very offensive minded teams. I thinkthe group Scolari has build can go very far in this tournament, especially since so many other countries miss key players.

Who advances from Group A?
