Samba Brasil v Morocco - 11pm - New Jersey

Brazil all over the shop
Can’t even do simple ****

Morocco 3/1 hmmm

Morocco are like 1974 Holland - Total football

I wonder if this is the first time since '66 that England have been ahead in the betting of Brazil, Argentina and Germany.

Morocco playing well, but I still don't think they'll win.

2018 probably was the time, Germany out in the groups, Argies out in the 2nd round, Brazil out in the quarters, England into the semis.

Brazil right bzck useless

good ball and good finish, poor defending

boommmmmm000000

Alisson outside the box the clown

gtfi

at the start of the tournament as well, mes?

No, Des Pond. In 2002, I remember they were pre-tourney 5/1FAVS!

Brazil finished level with Paraguay in the group, with much better players

Just as Brazil were warming up up

ah, OK thanks.

England haven't beat a top heavyweight nation in the knockout stages of a World Cup since 1966 so I'd be amazed if pre-tournament we were ever faves over those 3.

Just read a link from 2002, that said England only became 2nd faves for the tournament after they reached the quarters beating Denmark, they couldn't have been faves beforehand, they were ranked 12th in the world at time as well

If Brazil were playing like Morocco have, they’d be going nuts about it, samba bear etc

What a World Class goal he created on his own

Wake up
Brazil
They have

Oh my.

Just put a tenner on Morocco to win this tourney.

Vinicius is the new gakpo

BTTS landed

yup btts is in

If anyone is wondering when the first 0-0 of the tournament will come, look no further than Ivory Coast v Ecuador, Ivory coast qualified without conceding a single goal, Ecuador qualified conceding just 5 goals in 18 matches, scoring less than a goal a game. Ivory coast did score 25 but mostly against micky mouse nations.

mesmerised, I'm recalling my own eyes. You can doubt me all you want, but I'll never forget it because I couldn't stop laughing! Remember, despite records and stats, England have always been grossly overhyped, never more so during that "Golden Generation" period. Which accounts for them being continuously overbet.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2002/may/25/worldcupfootball2002.sport8

this link says France were faves at 3/1, which makes sense considering they had just won the World Cup, Euros and Confederations cup, as well as being ranked 1st, Argie's were also 5/1

If you saw England as faves, must have been some kind of boosted odds specials surely.

FIFA says this:  World Cup 2002, heading into the comp.

Based on average prices from the bookmakers.

Argentina (7/2)
France (4/1)
Italy (6/1)
Brazil (7/1)
Germany (8/1)
England (9/1)
Spain (10/1)
Portugal (12/1)

good effort, keeper was alert.

No specials. Can't remember across the board but Hills certainly had a show of 5/1 at one stage, with ALL the rest trailing.

That's a red

what's he chuntering to the ref about? Vinicious gets away with too much of that.

There is the possibility that with patriotic money flowing in at the time, that England could have been faves with one of the English bookmakers at one point in time or another, patriotic money always distorts reality

Looking fatiqued Brazil, not sure why. ?

Market stll saying not many more goals

Fantastic first half! And to think this is just a warm up fir the MAIN EVENT of Haiti-Scotland in the wee hours!

BTTS in. Overs is now INEVITABLE.  Done and dusted by the 55th minute.

3s on to be more goals. !!

Two shot on goal brazil in 45 minutes joke

need the ball down  the left to VJ more. imo.

Think it's because some of the Moroccan players are coming into this game as fresh as daisy's considering the likes of Diaz rarely played full games for Madrid last season, Mazraoui got minimal game time and Hakimi missed half the French season. The Brazilian players are all coming from more mentally and physically taxing seasons, should still win though.

   Lay goals .... simples.

Yes, agree Morocco threw a lot of effort into that first half hour, made Brazil look lethargic.

Too late got 500 on over 2.5

3rd quarter activated

A draw is an acceptable result for both teams, then they can carve up the group between them. I still think it might end 1-1 or 2-1 Brazil.

Ancelotti not messing about with Casemiro

you were dreadful son, get in the shower.

He took off the two player that were on yellows

Why are they not varring these foot stamps, should have been two red by now

Ancelotti chewing one of Neymar's balls

game slowing down now, both sides will want to conserve energy, and neither will be unhappy with a draw, esp Morocco.

How on earth did Ancelotti end up at Everton for a season?. Kind of like seeing Al Pacino on Coronation Street. That was a weird timeline.

OK, I need a goal, any goal. Bring it.

16 minutes gone no one gone near goal

sofaking

another joke of a game

great advances in sports science, but the old tissue up the nostril still the best.

... Opening up now ...

These games are horrible you just know nothing going to happen in second half

Alisson most at fault for the Morocco goal

Have to say the stadiums so far look good, huge gladiatorial looking bear pits, Euro's in 2 years time will be held at clapped out old grounds like Villa Park and Hampden.

you full banked 1-1 then abba ?

I'm not that keen on Vinicious as a person, but he's always dangerous. No matter how well you defend, you can't keep him quiet for any length of time.

UEFA mugs wont even use Arsenal's ground as there's not enough parking spaces for all of their fat cats.

Vinicius is Brazil's only World class attacking player, Raphina's not world class, he's a Neymar esque show-pony.

Overs looks doomed here. 1-1 ft looks NAILED ON. I can still get out with a small green but I'll let it run.

Morocco should be winning this except they afraid to go for it brazil dont want to win this

Although he was a big baby abandoning the ceremony for the Balon D'or, it was laughable the king of the tactical foul and 5 yard pass merchant, Rodri was given it instead of him.

brazil look very average, take out vini and there's not much there

Last WC many were saying the same about Argentina.

Of course they don't.
You utter moron

I don't doubt Rodri's quality, but I must admit his career has largely passed me by.

80k fans and you can hear a pin drop.

most of the real fans can't afford to attend,

How has a country like Brazil with nearly 300 million people, not been able to find not only a World Class number 9 to lead the line, but a whole collection of them.

Last few World Cups they've had mediocre strikers such as Richarlison, Jesus, Luis Fabiano, Baptiste, Thiago and the worst of them all, Fred, who must have won a National Competition somewhere for that spot.

Timing Sofa - EFC had just sacked Silva at the same time Napoli did the same to Carlo. He was happy to come back to the EPL and signed a 4 and a half year deal.
He stayed for 18 months and by all accounts was quite happy there, but it was feared that if the Madrid job came up again he would be tempted and hey presto Zidane walked at the end of the 20/21 season and that was that.

Al Pacino would probably fit right in with some of the risible storylines at Corrie these days, Weatherfield has turned in to the crime capital of the north .

i finished with world cup after this game this is disgraceful

If only,abba

.. MES, if you get a minute have a look for the Kevin Bridges documentary on I player " In search of the beautiful game ", they discuss that very thing.

Brazil and Morocco both have far too big a poverty gap, like many countries, (including our own, the way it is going). Most of the "fans" here are expats and middle classes with too much time on their hands.

thanks, will do at some point over the next week

Either of these would beat us,imo

The worst Brazil striker I've ever seen was a big guy called Serginho. the only dud in the great '82 side. If my memory serves me right, which it doesn't much of the time, these days.

1-1FT.  Disappointing effort from both teams.

Who are brazil playing for looks like a south american game corrupt a fooook no intention getting a win here

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002xb10

  Good documentary if you like football, all about proper fans and players.

Its the World Cup,you moron,abba

$55 to get into a bar to watch the games on tv, so must be fairly saucy if you actually want to attend ...

gabriels all over the shop ..

Irons i take it you dont go out much as you would nt be alive now.

The ball Gabriel hit in the penalty shootout is still on its way to mars

five past one, and they're still not finished.

hate to repeat myself, but 1-1 was always the most likely score.

They are now.
A good game

....Have to stay up now just to see Scotland top the group.

Not as good a 2nd half. Mainly due to Morocco not being as buzzy as they were 1st. Still, another decent, entertaining game overall that easily kept our focus. Morocco 1.80+ to beat Scotland is pretty damn mouth watering!

FINAL being played at that place
I couldn’t see the touch line
Nor when there was a corner on right side
This World Cup a shambles so far imo
Can’t recall 94 being this **** for viewers
