Switzerland 2 - 0 Peru

I kinda had a feeling but it was confirmed: this Switzerland is the weakest seed I've ever seen.

this Brazilian team has flair up front and the pace and directness when necessary to really light the tournament up this year. Not an impossible out by any means for an upper echelon nation, but they are clear favorites for the tournament at this point. Having Neymar and Hulk in the side at the same time poses so many problems for the other team...goals can literally come from anywhere.

Not only Neymar and Hulk, but Willian, Oscar... Brazil has probably one of the best attacks, only lacking a quality striker. (aside from Neymar, who can play in that position, but is a natural winger.)
 
Good win but Panama is very weak,frydays match seems more tough IMO

Agree, and Croatia/Mexico are going to test us, but even with that, i think we are going to be too much for them.
And also, Hernanes > Ramires.

He should have just chosen to play for the US, where he was born and raised, rather than Italy. He would've easily been selected ahead of Dozy

Agree. A brazilian team like this, so tight, playing a sober, no frills style, with such speed on the counterattack - and the usual brazilian flair if needed. Cant see them losing - may be the argentinians if Messi has one of those nights but other than that.

Not really they lost the series and the WC pass with it.

Gold cup doesnt count cause the real team was in confederations just like when the USA lost 5-0 to the mexicans.

Brazil still will own us tought.

Croatia beat them 2-0 at home and 1-1 draw in away game. But since this is a friendly, dont tell much about how Brazil vs Croatia is gonna go.

regarding Neymar and Hulk, I was only singling them out because of all their attacking stars it's those two who pose the most immediate threat at all times, albeit for different reasons, Neymar for his ability to run past 2 or 3 people in a few seconds and Hulk for his ability to shoot from anywhere inside 35 yards with power and accuracy...not to mention both have great pace.

The midfield is great as well.

But he still suffers from backpains apparently, so he is not 100% right now.
