"Spoiled, irritable, dramatist, cheater!" These are some of the words that the British press have used to describe Brazil striker Neymar. And Brazilian journalists here are furious. "They too have gone far. If England top their group, they might face either Brazil or Germany. So, the British media have already started their campaign to damage the image of the Brazil players," said a member of the Brazilian media contingent.

An important match for Brazil against Serbia will take place in Spartak Moscow today to determine which teams go through to the Round of 16. Brazil need a point to go through. If Switzerland beats Costa Rica, who are already out of the competition, and Brazil draws against Serbia, Brazil will qualify as the second-placed team. A defeat to Serbia though could end their campaign.
