Lula makes debut as football pundit

BRAZIL’S jailed presidential candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has made his debut as a football pundit.

Behind bars, he wrote a column for Workers’ Party TV on Monday criticising Brazil’s performance in the 1-1 draw against Switzerland at the World Cup.

“Qualifying is one thing. The World Cup is different, Switzerland was strong in defence, playing rough, and didn’t allow Brazil to perform. They also stopped Neymar by fouling him again and again.”
