WC facts: with Jô coming on, the WC sees, for the first time, a player with a surname consisting of two letters. Previous 'record' short length was for Koreans like Kim and Lee.

mexican back three doing well so far. alves & oscar seem to spend a lot of time looking uncomfortable attacking in areas the other prefers. luiz has been pretty good!

brazil the 3rd best team in this group so far
― pandemic, Tuesday, 17 June 2014 20:40 (nine years ago) link
And yet they have 4 points after meeting both of the better teams. Which is why they'll win this cup in the end...

Dunphy is saying Brazil are shite cos they export all their best players, but hasn't this been the case since 1990 at least?

Yeah as has been pointed out the 2002 Chinese team had players with the surnames Li, Xu, Wu, Ma, Qu, Su, and Yu
― 龜, Tuesday, 17 June 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link
(Fun fact; The u's are not all pronounced the same; Xu and Qu and Yu rhyme; Su and Wu rhyme; but Xu doesn't rhyme with Su)

Also need to point out that the world record for shortest surname entered into the World Cup is held by Nilmar Honorato da Silva, who appeared in the 2010 World Cup for Brasil wearing a jersey adorned only with the symbol '✓'

No Dzagoev for Russia. Is he injured or out of favour?
