As soon as he shaped to hit that you knew it was in! Massive swerve, amazing

Is neymars dad the team manager as he takes all the set pieces and rarely passes I don’t think there are many more dislikable blokes in football

Great goal but Brazil look vulnerable at the back even against a mediocre Switzerland. Shaqiri is a fat c**t.

Brazil are pretty bad at the back. Nobody defended that corner...

Great header but shouldn’t be unmarked 6 yards out

Awful defending at any level.

Can’t believe they are claiming that should be struck off. Poor defending

Some of those Swiss players seem to have taken a leaf out of Doyle's book. Some pretty cheeky fouls going on.

Well yeah, But the amount of little pull backs and arms up in the midfield. Classic way to disrupt teams.

Not a penalty. Annoys me so much when a player, if they stay on their feet, has a gilt edged chance but prefers to fall over and look for the pen. Not a likeable Brazil side is it?

Neymar has been very poor. Almost always too selfish with the ball. Looks like he wants to be the hero all the time, despite having better options available to him.

It’s because he wants to be World footballer of the year he is a selfish player

Talking of making the most of it, Lichtsteiner predictably absolutely fine after looking like he'd had his jaw broken...

It certainly does that. If it stood out anymore It'd glow in the dark. I know Brazilians are all about flamboyance, but that takes it a bit too far!

Underwhelmed by Brazil. Look like they crumble under pressure at the back. Switzerland coped well with their attacking finesse too.

Switzerland are very average, but Brazil made them look pretty good at times!

A lot of teams, France, Argentina, Germany, Brazil all looking a bit shakey at the start of this tournament. Portugal and Spain looked decent but both had their vulnerabilities too!

I see that the media have spent ages bigging up Brazil and how great Neymar is etc and then once again they fail to deliver.

Thought Brazil looked very dodgy at the back,I'd fancy McNulty and Biamou against their back four!!

Been a round of shocks so far. Hopefully England don’t carry on the trend tomorrow.

You would want a sixty million plus goalkeeper to either punch or catch that corner

That’s a good price. We should beat them but they’re no mugs. Best ranked African team. Loads of Tunisians are on our train. Most of them think we’ll beat them by a couple due to injuries.

South Korea have the best gameplan to date:

South Korea: Shin Tae-yong made players swap shirts to try to confuse opposition

England should win but I think it'll be a draw, England never seem to start strongly at tournaments. 9-1 was always going to be worth a go though. Enjoy tomorrow.
