Brazilian midfielder Kazemiro gave a somewhat strange prediction before the match of the 1/8 finals of the World Cup against Mexico.

In his opinion, "selesao" can leave the tournament already at the very beginning of the playoffs. However, he wants this sortie to happen only with a good game.

"We can lose. This kind of football. But I can promise that if this happens - let it be the best game of Brazil. We are preparing to ensure that we played the match perfectly, "- quotes the official website of UEFA.

Recall that the Brazil-Mexico meeting will begin on July 2 at 17:00 Kyiv time. In the group, the team Tite won two wins (against Costa Rica and Serbia) and once again tied (against Switzerland).

As for Kazemiro, he took part in all matches of the national team at this Mundiale.

The reasons for this were the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine and Syria, the poisoning of the Russian ex-intelligence agent Sergey Skripal in Britain, the starvation of Ukrainian political prisoners, including the director Oleg Sentsov, and the systematic violation of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Unlimited hunger strike Sentsov announced May 14, 2018. His main demand is the release of more than 60 Ukrainian political prisoners who are behind bars in Russia. This requirement of the director was supported by the US State Department, the EU, the Canadian Parliament and.

2015 Russian court illegally sentenced Sentsov to 20 years in a strict-regime colony. The actions in support of the director were held all over the world, including in Russia.
