..anyone else irritated by how we keep being told how brilliant they are and how there’s not much point in the rest even bothering!

Spain in the 1/4 finals might have something to say about it

Poll: How long will we be in League One/League Two from next season?

Neymar very over rated. Vinicius is their key man.

I know. We know they have strength in depth of their squad they didn't have to mention it every 2 minutes.

Clearly they are the favourites but they didn't look THAT good that they would beat everyone.

Just like Mbappe the other day, they would have creamed themselves if Neymar had scored.....! Haha

I thought that they looked pretty ordinary first half and it was only as the game went on and Serbia tired that they played anything that looked like flowing football. In fact they played better when Neymar went off.

Brazil haven't beaten a top side in the World Cup since the 2002 final.

Poll: Preferred Lambert replacement?

The constant and repeated arse licking of the likes of Neymar, Mbappe and Ronaldo always ruins a world cup for me. Great players for sure, but their temperament always ruins it.

Poll: Is it more annoying when builders

I mean they're obviously a very good side, and for all the attacking flair and quality that they're often credited with they're very strong defensively, which seems to be overlooked and is probably where they're most superior to England. I mean to have the choice between Alisson or Ederson for a start, Marquinhos and Tiago Silva centre halves. Danilo and Sandro at full backs.

Perhaps controversially but I'm not sure I would swap their midfield / forward options for ours. Would Lucas Paqueta start for us? Doubt it. I wouldn't swap Rice & Bellingham for Paqueta and Casemiro. Would Fred be coming off the bench? Would Richarlison even start for us? I know he bangs them in for Brazil but I'm not sure he would.

I would say Kane, Grealish, Foden, Sterling, Saka plus an in-form Maddison is as good a group of forward options as anyone has at this World Cup. I still make Brazil favourites but they're beatable.

I think our strength and depth, apart from our defence is pretty underrated.
