Liz Tray: Since I was a kid people have talked about Brazil in this godly way. Like it's still 1970. Like Socrates still plays. A sacred cow but... they're really not that good. Not better than everyone else. Spain and France are just as good, if not better. Brazil coast on rep.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
Disappointing so far.
There has been moments of promise, that this might kick into life. But too often it has fizzled to nothing.
Serbia making life very difficult for Brazil.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
Tell you what, the hipsterish Nemanja Gudelj has played really well for Serbia. So many times he has been the man diving in with a tackle or sensing danger to stop a Brazil attack.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
One minute of added time?! What is this, the Premier League?
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
I hope Strahinja Pavlovic remembers he is on a yellow card, because he is not playing like it.
He throws himself with wild abandon to stop Raphinha getting a cross in from the right. He gets his reward but it's risky.

The South American teams are really overrated and poor compared to the top European sides. Brazil being made to look ordinary by at best a competent Serbia. There will be none of them left by the quarter-finals I guarantee.

Straight down the other end and a cross is sent so close to the head of Aleksandar Mitrovic. A foot lower and he was bang in the game.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
The first real mistake by the Serbia defence and it gives Vinicius Jr a good opening.
Nikola Milenkovic is favourite to reach a long ball forward but he makes a mess of it and the Real Madrid forward is in. The defender gets back just well enough to put off Vinicius and his shot goes wide.

(Re: 19:17) Firmino has scored once in last nine games. And without the games against Rangers and Bournemouth padding his stats he would have five goals in over 20 appearances so far this season. He isn’t good against decent teams.

You can definitely see why Serbia did so well in qualifying for this tournament and why people had a sneaky feeling they'd do well in Qatar. They're very organised and robust. And there are little hints of greater ambition and the talent to hurt an opponent further forward.

That was Raphinha's moment, incisive football - he’s got to aim it at the far post but doesn’t get enough on it and it’s really quite a tepid finish.
But it was beautiful football to watch.

Neymar trying to be a bit of a show pony there with a backheel and the crowd certainly enjoyed that.
It is alright being pretty but you need the punch.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
An uncompromising Serbian centre-back for Manchester United? It'll never work ;)

Mikey: Man Utd should be scouting this Serbia team for a central defender, either one and they hit jackpot, they are pretty good.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
Chance! A big one too!
Raphinha exchanges passes with Lucas Paqueta, who picks out the Barca man in space in the box. It is a clear sight of goal but the low shot is straight at Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
Best opening so far.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
Neymar tries a bit of trickery in the middle of the pitch, but Serbia aren't having any of that. Sasa Lukic gets stuck in with a sliding tackle.
Brazil 0-0 Serbia
Oh, nearly!
A short corner allows Lucas Paqueta to tee up Raphinha for a cross with a neat backheel, but the low ball evades the sliding Neymar at the near post.

It seems like Brazil are taking their time to get into things but it only takes a moment for them to do something special.
They need to get the ball to their wingers more, to Vinicius.

Matt Jackson: Neymar’s role crucial for Brazil in this system. He’s the player who needs to provide a link between the back six and front three. He’s capable, but the Serbians will (and should) aggressively target him. That battle will be key.
Jambarrell: Much talk of how attacking Brazil's line-up is but this is how many teams used to play - England in Euro 96 had only Ince as defensive midfielder then effectively a front five (Shearer, Sheringham, Anderton, McManaman, Gazza).
