The best palettes in Seleção
Brazil is the most sensitive in Group G on goal difference against Switzerland, which it will face in its next match on Monday.
Serbia will have to make peace tonight by facing Cameroon and will have to take all 3 problems to have any hope of qualifying for the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
Starting before Brazil faces Switzerland on Monday, either will have a chance to make some adjustments to the organization table and put pressure on their rivals.
Tottenham eliminates Serbia
Richarlison continued with his golden touch in front of the goal wearing the famous yellow shirt of Brazil.
The Spurs striker has scored 17 in 38 appearances for his country.
Their heatmap shows how much the game tied before entering the vital spaces for their goals.
Fans of the purest Samba style
The enthusiastic Brazilians celebrated their first victory in the form of the organization against Serbia on the beaches of their homes.
Richarlison’s shocking purpose for the moment made fans extremely happy.
They hope their team can finish their 20-year wait for World Cup glory.
Inside the floor – full-time analysis
Sun reporter Phil Thomas his opinion on the game:
Apparently, Brazil has been performing ten choreographed dance routines to celebrate their World Cup goals.
Well, if Richarlison continues like this, he will have to repeat a little more before the end of the stages of organization, to mention the knockout matches.
The boy who can’t start at Spurs showed precisely why it’s him, and not Neymar, who is Brazil’s golden boy for so much boy with a brace in the first game.
When you take into consideration Neymar, Vinicious junior (don’t you forget, Liverpool fans?) and Raphinha may have ended up with at least a pair each, you get an indication of how the favourites were frankly in a league of their own.
If the Jolly Green Giant, the colossal Serbian goalkeeper AKA Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, had not been in the form of his life, they would have already reached twice as many numbers.
As it stands, this Richarlison splint will work fine to begin with. The celebrations would possibly have been far from ten Len o’clock, but they will have them long after, me.
For all Premier League fans, of course, it is Neymar who is the center of this top national football team. The reality, however, is completely different.
It is Richarlison’s attitude, Richarlison’s influence and, above all, Richarlison’s that makes HIM the focal point.
And that last point that showed his dream of beating the golden boot of his Tottenham teammate Harry Kane in Russia 2018 could soon come true.
What a contrast, by the way, with the first two games of the two friends of the Spurs.
Kane, for all of England, scored six whipping Iran, made a target and ended up with a scanner that scared the whole country.
Richarlison also gave a masterclass on poaching and flying for cameras with his pair of Serbian jokes.
The first was ruthless luck for Vanja, as it came after the goalkeeper produced another magnificent full-body block to deny Vini jnr.
But there Richarlison, jumping like a dog over a slice of fallen ham, to push the bounce and send this Lusail Stadium crowd to delight.
They had waited long enough. There were probably an increasing number of other people wondering if they could simply celebrate the purpose of their heroes, so tenacious was the Serbian challenge.
But do you know what they say about London buses and all that?Well, obviously, the same goals for Brazilian goals.
Because before we knew it, the Samba stars had doubled their lead, the tracks were signed and sealed, if still delivered, while the same guy was jumping again.
And if the former is still the most productive example of the beautiful game of archetypes of its suppliers, then the latter is certainly the Array
Again, Vini jnr the supplier, with a burst of speed on the left wing that have become his hallmark in a single fit in the Brazilian competition.
When he drove the ball into the danger zone, Ri’s first touch sent him spinning through the air, and at the time a magnificent aerial volley flew into the corner,
Nothing Vanja, even in its entirety, can do about it. And to be honest, it had to be special or blank to get the best out of it here.
It’s true that the quick punch he threw to prevent Neymar’s evil delivered corner from curling up directly into the routine. Certainly compared to the last of his heroic feats.
An opportunity, by the way, that was planned given that part of the Brazil team seemed to be educating the other day in their educational base in Al Arabi,
But there is nothing popular that his streak falls in love with some other of Vinicius’ feet after the maximum and delicious deliveries with Thiago Silva’s slide rule.
Of course, if the end of Raphinha had been something like the technical work of his teammates, it is possible that this game was finished and dusted before halftime.
The maximum brilliance of the failures of the former Leeds a meek half-volley foot that had nothing to do with the same elegance as the one-two with Richarlison who created it.
And the further I went, the more we began to wonder if maybe, just maybe, the five-time champions would draw a blank line, however ruthless it had been with them.
Sure enough it started to look like that when Alex Sandros after all passed Vanja to see his effort back against the stick,
It is clear that Roberto Carlos is the only full-back who wears the famous yellow shirt that can hit a ball from afar.
As it stands, however, the dam eventually broke. Richarlison made sure. An end in everything. . . But boy, those movements still want to be worked on.
