Neymar’s World Cup was ended after suffering an injury in the quarterfinals. What happened after that in Brazil’s semi-final match is an anomaly in FIFA World Cup history.
I don’t think you need any more pointers to remind you of the match that ended with a 7-1 scoreline. It is also clear why the incident of 2014 World Cup is being brought up again and again. Brazil are set to take on Switzerland in their second World Cup match without injured Neymar.
Germany and Switzerland are not the same team. They may be neighbours, but the difference between them in terms of footballing pedigree and heritage is vast.
The Belo Horizonte match was the semi-final and the match against Switzerland is the group-stage fixture. Brazil also showed signs of maintaining their excellent record in the group stage with their win over Serbia in the first match. Besides, Tite has no shortage of options.
