Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Croatia are no mugs at football Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Agreed, but for me, Brazil at home, opening game, it's hard to look past Scolari's team.

CroBiker Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Croatia are clearly underdogs but as Croatian coach Niko Kovac said "we will leave our heart on the field". It is not the shame losing to world cup host and 5 time winners as long as we do our best and make country proud.

Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 So it looks like they've let me out of my box for the duration of the World Cup. You've got four weeks to put up with me before they put me back in my darkened room at Thaivisa towers. The plan is to cover every minute, every kick, every Messi dribble, every bit of Ronaldo magic, every inch of a Neymar shimmy, follow it all with Thaivisa and TheScarf. But before all that. Do I go to bed for a few hours first, not forgetting to set my alarm, or just roll on straight through to full time? What's everyone else doing? These Brazilian kick off times aren't exactly great for people living in Thailand, are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Let's hope it will be worth it to wake up at 3:00 in the morning. Being the first match, it will be full of nerves and tension between the teams. Hope they give us a good show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhythmworx Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 If anyone fancies a bet William hill are offering on Brazil v Croatia 3/10 for a Brazil win 4/1 for a draw and 10/1 for a Croatia win. Sh*t odds, It's a walk in the park for Brazil IMO, all I can see is a field of yellow with a few away kits nestled inbetween. Just waiting to see the caramel skinned onion booty's jiggling about.

Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Is it time for a coffee or something a little stronger? With kick off just 15 minutes away, excitement is building and World Cup fever has well and truly taken over. Let's hope I'm still this excited for Honduras vs Ecuador in a weeks time.

Pretty difficult to go with anything but your head and probabilities on this one Scarf. Home soil, the whole nation behind you etc but you never know in football and that's what makes it such a great sport. Lots of credit should go to Croatia though, with a population of just over 4 million they have a very strong side. It'll be no push over for Brazil this one. And just as I was going to press post, Croatia have scored 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Brazil will have to really get at them now. Croatia should brace themselves for a Brazil onslaught.
