The story…
Switzerland surprised Brazil, and many football fans when they held the Brazilians to a draw in their first match of Group E. They honed their tactics too with Neymar, which amounted to kicking him for 90 minutes. Did the Costa Ricans take notice? We will see. Brazil could have done better though, as their second half was basically an array of shots from distance. Worked four Coutinho in the first half but no one else. Costa Rica were beaten by a great free kick by Kolarov, and weren’t embarrassed. A pre game prediction of Costa Rica making out of the group looks just a silly now though.
| Group E | PL | W | D | L | GF – GA | PTS |
| Serbia | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 – 0 | 3 |
| Brazil | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 – 1 | 1 |
