Cursed! 'Sorry...' World Cup Russia Day #14
How much better can this get? OK Brazil beat intrepid Serbia. But Costa-Rica crashed the Swiss banker, Mexico were hammered and went through and yes, Germany are aus!
The Serbs put on a hell of show in downtown Moscow tonight. Brazil filled a metro station. Here we cast our eye over social soccer, where the official accounts are winning, losing, celebrating and very often struggling to stay stylish in the face of on-field calamity. But the fans are winning.

Brazil 'legend' (ahem, Cafu, Carlos Alberto) Dani Alves gave goal-scorer a hand this afternoon & Brazil-Insta loved it.
But it seems Serbia was a winner after all.
