Brazil’s Neymar da Silva Santos fights to retain possession of the ball in match against Switzerland<\/p><\/div>\n

Brazil is now the fourth team to join previous Champions winners who have struggled in their opening matches. After ending in a 1-1 draw, Brazil is at risk of not advancing to the next stage. For a team that hails from a passionate country, this is a not where they wanted to be.<\/p>\n

Brazil scored the opening goal in yesterday\u2019s match against Switzerland<\/a> when Philippe Coutinho, who is playing in his first World Cup scored twenty minutes into the first half with a shot that went into the net after bouncing off the post. A complaint that Jo\u00e3o Miranda de Souza Filho was shoved by Swiss player Steven Zuber was dismissed by the referee who did not review the play.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the incident, Miranda said,<\/p>\n

“I was pushed out of the way. There is video of what happened and the referee could have seen it. But it didn\u2019t happen, we got a draw but this is only the beginning for us. We knew this game wasn\u2019t going to be easy.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
