ROSTOV-DE-JANEIRO

Rostovite behave decently, well done! Although the temptation was tens of thousands. Flooding the city of the Brazilians were looking for different approaches, was courteous and charming, but then any photographs of the case did not come. Anyway, in two days I never saw continue.

Even if something is overlooked, Rostov was super. And all of these advances are just part of the cool, a real beach atmosphere. Rostov is Brazil, and Brazil – growth. Plus 33, hot air, hot asphalt, Saturday-Sunday laziness. Is that cancers Brazilians did not appreciate – in restaurants more red-and-white Swiss sat is known to gourmets. They were not to surpass rivals nor voice nor appearance.

A few hours before the match city finally turned to Rostov-de-Janeiro. Perhaps, in the mind of the people and will remain so. Your best match the city received from the very beginning.

The Brazilians staged superperiod across the bridge with flags and drums, its crowd has joined the fans of “Rostov” in yellow shirts, and the Swiss are not disturbed, too sick good and beautiful.

THE SUPER GOAL COUTINHO

Well, the Brazilians sang the anthem and were eager to prove why they are the main favorites of the world Cup.

Amid those giants it was especially important.

And in fact, see. Even if we leave out the draw of Spain and Portugal. Argentina couldn’t win in Iceland, France barely won Australia, Germany lost to Mexico. What kind of minions are you? Brazil had to prove that she is from another test!

And very soon scored a goal pedigree. Did Philippe Coutinho who got the ball after removal from the box and put it in the far corner with the rebound from the rod. Indescribable beauty!

Before that, Brazil was another splendid moment – Coutinho on the left gave to Neymar, the sweep and trekked through the Swiss foot, with a close-range Paulinho beat – by.

However, no beating it wasn’t the first shot on goal in the match was dealt a Switzerland – Dzemaili in touch after the filing of Shaqiri. Titus before the game said that Switzerland is stronger than the one that was four years ago in Brazil. Although the team came out of the group and only in extra time lost to Argentina. What can today’s? Obviously, a lot will be decided in the match with Serbia in Kaliningrad. Given Kosovo Albanian origins of the leaders of Switzerland, it will be practically a Derby.

HE DIDN’T PLAY IN CSKA, BUT TOOK THE VICTORY FROM BRAZIL

But Switzerland did not want to postpone a task for later. In the first half, she played modestly and timidly, the Brazilians dominated, but in the second everything has changed, the score became equal. After a corner Steven Zuber has perevisa Miranda. Not without hands, but the Mexican referee did not see crime.

Once Zuber scored in Krasnodar now scored in Rostov, loves the South of Russia. You didn’t forget that in 2013-2014, the footballer played for CSKA? Came in one window with George Mironovym, but the Bulgarians are etched, and Supercover, as it is called in Switzerland, the only goal in gate “Kuban” and memorable. Now he has matured, he plays for Hoffenheim, and last year for the national team.

Goal has liberated Switzerland, and several unsettled Brazil. No, she has nothing here will be given – as all the other favorites.

POOR NEYMAR

1:1 – like the same as Argentina, but no. The Swiss were not locked at the gate, walking forward. And in Brazil, the ball was held very well. Really be located near the opposition penalty area did not work.

In the end, all broke down into individual passages leaders Coutinho, Jesus, Neymar. Simple, but dangerous. The Swiss stopped the Brazilians only with the aid violations – cher almost tore the shirt of Neymar. Akanji flunked Gabriela Jesus in the 74th minute, it was possible to appoint a penalty, but no.

Sometimes the opponent ended in losses. Neymar once so nearly brought. In General, it was difficult. Hair turned out brighter than the game, though the hairstyle has questions. Probably the fact that the Swiss had tortured him rude – almost half of the fouls were on Neymar. Hard.

Neymar could become the hero in the 90th minute of his very best shot found the head of Robert Firmino, who replaced Jesus, but Sommer saved Switzerland. After another minute, Miranda missed from a good position. No luck!

Like all favourites in this world Cup.
