No synchronicity for shackled Samba Boys

Brazil coach Tite blames anxiety for stuttering draw against Swiss

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia - Brazil's stuttering performance stemmed from anxiety, coach Tite said after the Samba Boys' 1-1 draw with Switzerland in Group E on Sunday.

The five-time champion opened the scoring in the 20th minute when Philippe Coutinho's stunning strike went in off the far post, but Steven Zuber equalized five minutes into the second half with a powerful header.
