THEY FINISHED 18TH: SERBIA

Not much to remember them by. Just OK, you know. Nothing outstanding. 3 points from 3 games. This is the epitome of average. A win against the team that finished bottom in the group, defeats to the other two. Nothing spectacular, and they are going home.

World Cup 2018 Group E FINAL GAMES: Serbia 0-2 Brazil; Switzerland 2-2 Costa Rica

The expected sometimes happens, And Brazil are always expected to get to the knockouts, but then so are Germany and we all saw what happened to them. No such disasters for Brazil, with Serbia dispatched and the group won. Serbia’s defeat left the way open for the Swiss to claim their spot which they duly did, although Costa Rica's late equaliser made it look less comfortable than it actually was.

World Cup 2018: Serbia 1-2 Switzerland

The Serbs in red, the Swiss in white, Bit confusing, but a great comeback from the latter, with Shaqiri first rocking the woodwork, then making a break in the 90th to finish cooly in the rain. Neither of these teams will be highly fancied by anyone to pull up any trees, and we wouldn’t want them to what with the focus these days being on preserving nature and wildlife. 

The Armchair Predicted:
Serbia 2-1 Switzerland

16 and 10

Who Will Win World Cup Group E?

The World Cup 2018 Group E teams:

BRAZIL 
Costa Rica
SERBIA
SWITZERLAND

Group E stands for educational. Because I believe the teams will finish in alphabetical order, with the two South American teams being propped up by their European group mates.

Brazil will win this group. They always win their group and betting against that is pure folly. Although the other 3 teams all have something decent going for them, they don’t have as much decency going for them as Brazil.

The Swiss have Shaqiri. Costa Rica have Guzman and Ruiz. Serbia has Mitrovic, Matic, Tadic and Milivojevic (the Eeeeeeeeagle!). But Brazil has Alves, Willian, Marcelo, Fernandinho, Casemiro, Coutinho, Firmino, Jesus and Neymar. To name just a few

I’m assuming all these players will be fit for the tournament of course. Even if a few aren’t, Brazil have strength in depth and World Cup experience in abundance. The others, not so much.
