Brief thoughts on Brazil - Costa Rica:
Overall a satisfying match.
Happy that Neymar was denied the penalty. My hope for VAR is that will cut down on diving and correct obvious mistakes. There will still be controversial decisions.
The time wasting by Costa Rica was a bit more than you'd expect and I'm happy they got a yellow for it.
I'm no fan of Brazil, but didn't want to see them go down in this game with the way the game was playing out. Once that first goal was scored you could see the second one coming as there was no way that Costa Rica could defend with only 5 back on quick attacks.
Ftr, I'm an England fan (and a british subject by lineage). I was happy to see Argentina go down because my family and my sister-in-law's argentine family are fighting for the soul of my 7 yo nephew. If England moves on and Argentina doesn't it will make it more likely he becomes a more loyal England fan I should think.
